This episode is a perfect example of why I'm a huge fan of this podcast. It started with an important discussion on electronics as a parent (I'm a father of 3 ranging from toddler to teen). Then as a Muslim heading into Ramadan it answered a burning question I had. And everything else in between. Keep up the good work guys

As a Muslim who's doing Anabolic and going into Ramadan, I can definitely relate. My approach is to just get the sessions in but focus more on the religious and spiritual side of things. Intensity will definitely be dropped. Nutrition wise, I will only track protein and make sure I get enough. Everything else, I wouldn't be too crazy about it.

I used to have migraines and they went away when I went carnivore. Ruminant animals are my favorite

The actual reason for the batteries continuously burning is bc they are insulted and it’s hard to penetrate the capsules to get to the batteries. It’s a topic in the fire service often discussed over the past handful of years. We are always doing trainings on them further educating ourselves on ways to control and hopefully stop the Ecar fire

Mustard and hot sauces, along with salting foods was a huge turn around point when I did keto. Eat very clean with whole foods but those made life and workouts so much easier.

What I always dislike when you guys talk about religion along the lines of "if they don't get into religion, they'll worship something else" is the implication that people that are religious don't also get into money worship, bad ideologies and habits. While as an agnostic I can see the value of it as a tool, I wish you'd be clearer about this. That being said, I really do agree with the idea that if you won't take your kids to church, find a different way to do something of value for at least that hour a week. And I also can't deny that there was value to my time I spent at church since before I can remember to about age 14.

As someone who has enjoyed the cognitive benefits of keto for the last couple years and now getting back into fitness, I’m really looking forward to this episode! And yes, salt and electrolytes in general are way too underrated in the fitness world.

36 yr old law enforcement listener here. I am currently detailed out to the academy instructor and decided to make the best of it and start loosing weight. I’ve lost 20lbs in 5 months. Lifting, eating (Bariatric patient) and walking. You guys give out some of the most complete content in the space right now. Right now I’m 168-174 lbs maybe 15%-20% bf and trying to get to 160lbs 10-15% bf and 100% I can do this slowly and controlled. I’m NOT a huge eater since I can’t be but I’m eating around 1600 calories hitting about 120-160 grams of protein. Experimenting with macro ratios and seeing what makes me feel best. Thanks to you guys I finally understand this isn’t a race but a marathon ! Long term goals ! Thank you guys !

This was an awesome KZfaq hour, please keep it up.

I agree with Jordan Peterson. However, I did take all 4 of my kids to mass every week and they went to Sunday school and had all their sacraments. They are currently 17-23 years old. None of them attend church. And one child doesn’t believe in anything. So there’s more to it. Social media is so powerful! It’s very difficult for parents in these days.

Mankind built its major urban centres for millennia near salt beds and salt mines.

I followed a strict keto lifestyle for 3 years. Started intermittent dating and then switched to OMAD. Life got in the way, and I haven't been as strict for the last year but am now motivated and ready to get back to feeling great. Looking forward to hear your experiences and tips in this episode!

On a non processed food lifestyle, getting enough salt can be an issue. I only eat meat, potatoes, veg, home made breads and fresh pasta. Pinch of pink salt and water is important. My mother restricted salt even though she was on the un processed heart healthy diets of the 1980s. Constant migraines.

Hi How’s it going I am 63 years old and been listening to you for the last four years please tell us old people what I can do the strength get more Muscle I’ve been working out 3 to 4 times a week for the last four years thanks to y’all I have a six pack so keep up the good work I enjoy listening to you every day

This podcast not only continues help me grow as a trainer. It also has been helpful with being a newly father of a 2 year old. Gentleman please keep delivering all the good nuggets you've all learned/ are learning. So grateful 💪💪

I’m going to start calling Adam the wise philosopher. 😆 He really is thoughtful in his perspective. Of course you all have interesting takes on these subjects and I enjoy them all! 👍🏽🤗

Low carb for me is under 250 grams in a day 😂. Love the content and how in one episode Adam or Sal had mentioned how the sodium in one fast food meal would surpass salting food for a week….I put lots of salt and seasonings on my food (and barely ever eat out)…and it’s been great! ❤

Add a pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt to your water or BCAA's while working out too...

Am I the only one who hasn't used chap get? Where do I go to use it? Is it a website 🤣

I've been using LMNT for a while and their citrus flavored one is amazing.

Love the advice for the caller just starting his fitness journey. Great episode!

I love all your shows, though I don't think I watch them quickly enough to ever be a winner. I appreciate all the fantastic information, though!

I’ve been keto, carnivore, and low carb over the past five years and you need to be VERY careful with electrolytes/sodium. I salt my food and water because salting food isn’t enough. I always aim for at least 1 tsp or 5 grams of salt added to water per day.

Salty water as a runner in high school was the best!!!

I am a new listener and this is great content, its nice to see what feels like logical approach to fitness and life. So much content pushes this unsustainable lifestyle by the average person that it gets exhausting.

Another fantastic episode! How's Doug doing? Really enjoyed the answers to that last question. I've always wondered what were some of the best priming exercises to do before a workout. You guys should add some of these to the future MAPS Calisthenics program 😀

Yeah. War games !!! Great movie

Sal is my favorite host

I raised my children and the 90s and early 2000s. There was a limit of one hour of TV each day. I realized the value of positive influences on my kids so they were required to be in a sport, a club, and a faith-based group. This gave them outside role models and a group of positive/motivated friends at a time when they were gaining independence. .

If you eat a pickle before training you will get the nastiest pump and your anaerobic endurance skyrockets.

Thanks Mind Pump for continuing to beat the drum on the most important messages. Keep going. One step at a time forward is progress! Consistency over volume wins out every time. Another great show.

I eat low carb and cant get enough salt! Thanks for the great info mindpump!

As someone doing a low carb regimen this will def help. Going to start paying attention to it. Great job guys!!!

It's not that we don't hear stories that teach morals anywhere other than religion. You really just have to be mindful of the content kids consume indiscriminately matter where it comes from. Some stories told in different religions are just as messed up as stories they'd hear other places. There are definitely stories in the bible I wouldn't want children hearing either at all or without an adult to frame them in a different way. True some evil ideologies ban religion to keep people from believing in other things but at the same time religion is sometimes used to justify and implement evil ideologies like slavery, etc not to mention the amount of wars that have been waged in the name of god (when that was really just the justification for wanting to conquer/colonize anyway).

Learning my body and adapting the programs I run has been one of my favorite parts of gaining experience

RE: AI… How will you be able to tell if it’s either controlled or not… people assume if it tells you something other than you want it’s biased.

Mind Pump Yeah Dude!!!

I definitely learned not to fear salt when I was keto. I was keto for several years because of the anti-inflammatory benefits. I've started increasing my carbs to work on bulking but I'm not abondoning my salt. I literally carry a small shaker of Redmond real salt in my purse. 🤣

Me and my wife really limit how much time our daughter has on her tablet. We noticed a while back that if she was constantly on it her attitude was just terrible. She wouldn't do her chores, she wouldn't eat dinner, she stopped reading books, ect. Now she has to earn time instead of just having time allotted everyday. Hell I will give her time if she works out with me. But I think y'all hit the nail on the head about parents having to set the example. If I'm scrolling through KZfaq shorts after I just told my kid she doesn't need her tablet she's going to notice that. I have caught myself a few times where I had to put my phone in a different room and just get on the floor and wrestle with my kids.

For all back exercises you should be leading and pulling with your elbows. Your hands are just hooks to hold on to the weight.

44:11 Pfft, I'm with Justin on this. You can't judge someone's intelligence based on degrees. It says a lot of good things about a person (like dedication, sacrifice (maybe) and the intelligence to get the degree in the first place) but it would be a piss poor measuring stick for intelligence on its own. Expertise in different fields was brought up, and I think that would be a cool way to measure intelligence; by comparing the knowledge and practical use of it among people in the same field.

Another great episode to listen to and end the night on. Always filling my head with knowledge💪.

I didn't have a smart phone until I was basically graduated from high school, I can easily see where it is harder now because of the easier access to it than ever. I did watch TV growing up, but didn't get social media until far later. As far as smart phones I think they shouldn't be given to small kids at all. Ipads at least to my knowledge require a good internet connection to use, so I don't imagine they are as bad. Side note some (old school (especially Japanese animes particularly shounens are often filled with good morals and narratives, are they as good as church? No, but believe it or not they often have a pretty strong emphasis on doing good / the right thing.

Great show guys, couple things I'd love to hear you discuss is more in depth and you've touched on these is 1: chat bot that's started insulting people for asking it simple questions and 2: Due to the rise of diabetic drugs being used for weightloss which is now causing possible shortages for diabetics. Keep it up 🤙

I suffer from migrein too, how much salt do you recommend to help?

great podcast!! thank you for what you do guys! you really help me with my journey!

I have an uneven hip thrust. At the top of the movement the bar is perpendicular to my hips but as I lower the bar, it begins to rotate. It does not dip to one side. I assume this is due to an imbalance in the hip area. What would you recommend to correct this?

I don’t have kids but I think it’d be really hard to try being so strict on technology.

What program would you recommend for someone who does kickboxing ?

Intelligence vs. Money: something else to consider is that very intellegent people (academically) tend to go into lower paying fields like higher education or the arts as opposed to STEM or entrepreneurship. I know more than a few broke geniuses.

Perhaps you guys can separate 5 minutes talk about the trainings/diet etc and the rest of the show which covers talks about everything else? I in particular watch your show for fitness knowledge and then it becomes a hassle to search for the time stamps where i can actually find interesting piece for myself. I am pretty sure im not alone in this

Totally guna try the salt thing tommarow, kept thinking sugar was the deal, thanks for all the pro tips

Funny about this last Question. I was trying to figure out how to add map prime to map anabolic. It was not clicking and I was reading still was not coming together for some reason. With the last Question it now clicks for some reason. You Guys are awesome at explaining.

Which program has those tests and priming exercises for beginners?

Love the new set! You guys look more comfortable now. Love your old episode on mindset, is how I discovered your pod, looking for someone explaining the mindset.

love your work boys

Even as an adult, I'm really struggling to curb urges I have to use entertainment/tv as a way to unwind. It is definitely a challenge, but fitness, I've discovered, does help to curb that tendency

I'm prepping for my wedding at the end of July and just went through a reverse diet in 2022, then a bulk (!!!) for the first time all thanks to you guys! Thank you for all the awesome content. I'd love to see you guys do a one-topic podcast on how to effectively do a cut. I think it'd get a ton of traction in spring for those of us who want to do it with your guidance. Cheers guys!

"Team Human"...😂😂👍🏻

Movie trivia Pee wee Herman was voice of the AI in flight of the navigator. Jennifer Anniston is hottie nurse I believe lol

What about D.A.R.Y.L.

I need some nutrition advice, is there a way to find my keto macros?

Another great episode as per usual! Keep up the great work guys!

Beyond Meat is tanking, but not the plant-based alternative food market, which is thriving. Free market, guys. There are just many more (and less expensive) alternatives out there. By the way, Dr. Christopher Gardner from Stanford actually did a crossover study on Beyond Meat vs red meat and people had better health outcomes on Beyond Meat. They lowered their LDL and TMAO levels and they lost more weight despite eating the ‘ultra-processed food’. That said, it’s still high in saturated fat (but certainly less than red meat) and sodium, so chose whole-food plants whenever possible.

Did you guys get high for the show because Doug isn't there??? 😃

Doug still out of the mix 😳 He's human afterall

I was wondering why I’m always cramping In my legs

Wow love this podcast. You guys are hilarious all totally different in ways and yet so close and good friends. Keep up the good work thanks for all the knowledge!!!

This is 💯

I love the personal stories you guys shared today

You guys dropped some real gems with the religious structure thing 👌🏼

#BestPodcastEver !❤🧠💪🏽

Let's go!!! Aesthetic please and thank you very much!

Recommendation: Using Salt to Optimize Mental & Physical Performance by Andrew Huberman 👌

Soy Sauce for Sodoum, Tasty! 🏋🏻🏊‍♀️🙏🏻

Beyond meat is hella good. However do to competition is why it crashed… Just look at Tesla Look what’s going on with the Disney.. Prius use to be the number one hybrid just like beyond burger use to be the number one vegan burger. Competition changes everything and I’m in shock that as business people that it’s so hard for you guys to figure out.

👍👍👍

Exactly! When you take out religion something more sinister often takes hold of people, even more so kids minds.

When is Sal running out of relatives he gives the sponsors supplements to and then they all fall in love with them? 😀

Smart Carb not low carb

I was rooting for Beyond Meat. I know you guys like to fart all over it, but I liked having a cheap vegetarian option. And if they're cooked right, they taste pretty good. Not quite like meat, though. But I was hoping the company would find ways to make them healthier and tastier.

You don’t need AI to expose the flaws of capitalism or any ism for that matter

Get rid of those intro clip edits, like of Sean yawning,. A simple picture to the right/left of the speaker works better than these fancy edits and ugly images lool. Keep It Simple

Last of us is recycled crap.

Nazis were against communists mate, and they promoted the church. Get your facts straight.

Whats the best way to train during ramadan? Geeee i dont know maybe dont follow a hollow mind religion that is all about rules and zero spirituality and focus on health instead? Smh

Shout me out 👀 @youngvestra at everything 👀🔑

I've been using LMNT for a while and their citrus flavored one is amazing.
