This podcast has changed my life. In my late 30s. Over the last 9 months (since listening to this podcast) I work out 45 minutes for 4 days a week at home with only resistance bands (no weights and cancelled my gym membership). I stopped doing crazy cardio and now just walk alot instead of driving everywhere. Right now I am in the best shape of my life. I am happier than I have ever been and I look awesome (not boasting but the reaction I am getting from women is great). These three men have changed my life profoundly. Also, I have worked out since my late teens and been a gym rat most my life so was not a total newb.

Cardio bunny here! I found you guys five months ago, started lifting "heavy" 3 times a week, 2 short walks a week and am in the BEST SHAPE OF MY LIFE already! I cannot imagine what will happen to me when I know what I'm doing in the weight room - proficiciency here I come! Thank you so much!

How the hell do you guys not have 3 million+ subscribers??? You guys provide everything!! Love you guys so much

Blown away that mirror & scale are the biggest reasons people train. I want to be strong and healthy. That it makes me look better is a huge bonus, no lie. Love this podcast. Keep it up!

Weight lifting is the best therapy EVER!

Started listening to the podcast about 4 months ago when I started to get back in shape for my wedding. Down 15 pounds so far and feeling better than ever. Thanks a lot!

Sal manspreads his arms and I love it

Weight lifting and eating better has changed my sleep forever. Sleeping from 9-530. Ive even noticed that eating fast food will have a negative effect on my sleep. I value my sleep more than a Big Mac.

You guys changed my life for the better, I went from doing only cardio and hiit, to doing resistance training 3 times a week and only 2-3 sessions of cardio per week and Ive never felt better🥰

Hands down the best podcast out there. Everyone should be listening to this daily. Gained so much knowledge this past year🔥

Resistance training has been the 2nd biggest positive impact in my life. 👍Right behind my parents.

Yes im 56 and love resistance training . Your book will only assist me to my journey for being healthy and being able to kick butt in my 80s.

Absolutely agree with these guys ‘ I’m a older guy 67’ I mostly did cardio’ with pushups’ when I retired a couple yrs ago ‘ I stared going to the gym ‘ and lifting weights ‘ with cardio ‘ gradually cut out cardio ‘ other than walking my dogs a couple of miles a day’ and just focused on weight training ‘ mostly doing free weights with dumbbells ‘ I find free weights are better than machines ‘ machines are good for legs and ABS ‘ after few months 3 times a week’ all compound exercises’ I seen a tremendous difference overall ‘ energy levels ‘ thinking more clearly ‘ libido came back back with a vengeance’ so my experience is totally positive’ and can identify completely what you guys are talking about. Great podcast

Resistance training has helped reduce my body fat and as a side effect...I no longer snore at night. My sleep is also 100 times better. Takes me about 10-15 minutes to fall asleep and it used to take me 2-3 hours before! You guys rock!

Very very appreciative for all that these guys have done for myself and my growth as an individual . I’m 24 and have an 19month old son and Sal, Justin, and Adam have been like distant mentors/dads to me! Pretty cool that Adam has a son that’s about the same age and hearing things he’s gone through as an older Dad versus things I’ve done. I’ve definitely taken a lot of advice from all of them and used it towards being a better trainer and a better father to my kiddo. Listen to you guys daily and very grateful I found your guys podcast almost 2 years ago. Wouldn’t be where I’m at without you!!!

Found MindPump during one of my many runs almost a year ago. Needless to say I know listen to you while I am lifting instead. Thank you for all the entertainment and information!

Already bought the book but I’m commenting to get this podcast out to more people. Great info guys

I would love for Sal's book to fly its way into my hands, I'm a good catch 🙋🏻‍♀️😹

I’m a 24 yr old girl who hates meat heads but you three are my fitness kings. Your podcast has helped me build muscle and stay on track more than anything else I’ve ever done. We stan!!!!!!!!! I better get that book Sal xoxo

As a former NCAA D1 long distance runner I can't agree more with everything you all say with regards to cardio vs. lifting. There's a time and place for both but no doubt repetitive cardio is not the fountain of youth--I lived it and saw it for four years. I feel healthier and look better now than I ever did running 80 miles per week. Additionally I am in medical school and this podcast has been monumental in shifting my paradigm in fitness and how to attack the obesity crisis. Keep up the work guys!

Mind Pump is the #1 Health & Fitness Podcast in The WORLD!

scale is not moving at all, losing inches, gaining size in the right area, thank you boys for keeping my mental in it!

You guys are like the three musketeers of fitness. Been watching you for long and i miss your proper form videos (best demonstrated guides ever). Resistance training changed my life and you guys inspired me even more and thought me a lot.

I just added your book to my “to be read” list yesterday, I would loove to have your signed copy❤️❤️

The picture of Doug is actually an endorsement of Sal's book since that body was built by Resistance Training

Have always loved the way you guys explain things and share your experiences, but what always hits home, especially in this video, is when you say how clients give you positive feedback due from your programming; as in how their lives are enhanced like gaining old strengths/mobility back especially in the elderly. As a fairly new trainer (still learning!!) with clientele that have given me such feedback, I have to say it’s extremely heartfelt 🙏🏼 Anyways, thank you for such valuable information, as always!!

That was actually one of the best videos I have watched in a long time. I was even thinking of going on testosterone as I am 44 years old now. But after Adam spoke I have definitely ruled that out. There’s no way I want to crash like he did. I have lost 10 kg in 3 months from good diet and training. 105kg down to 95kg. Feeling much better. I think I will buy your maps anabolic program after hearing sal speak. I really think you guys know what your doing. Keep up the great work. Very inspiring.

Started lifting when I turned 50. My favorite thing is a heavy deadlift hitting the floor in front of the scrawny 20 somethings!

Had a back fusion two years ago and just getting back to the gym. Found Mind Pump podcast one day at work and now I listen to it or watch on KZfaq everyday!

JHEEEEZ this is day 29 of asking the boys to say “ISSA BIG MON TING” 💪💪 sorry I missed the last 2 episodes 🤦‍♂️ u know da vibez 💯

Hi guys )) I already bought the audio book, but would love the hardback SIGNED BY SAL! YESS! I've just started listening, following and am finally wrapping my brain around the fact that I can EAT, not focus on doing cardio or worry about the scale! I listen to you every day just to remind myself to SETTLE MY MIND AND TRUST THE PROCESS. Thank you for your guidance.

(ps- I ain't Chris Hemsworth) I was actually exposed to this channel yesterday so I ain't gonna lie saying you changed my life and stuffs but what I would say is you have immense knowledge in fitness science and I have seen a couple of videos of yours and I honestly felt them helpful, I would love to get a copy of your book signed by you and also let me know if I could purchase a signed copy if my comment isn't the amazing one.

Just did my first maps anabolic workout after not doing anything besides corrective exercise for years now. Motivation is high right now but I'm trying to focus on journey. Thank you guys for all you do.

I'm doing my level 3 diploma and almost finished! I love listening to you guys, taking in your experience and wisdom! It's helped me with my own way of thinking and my own training. You give so much so thank you! you amazing people!

I have been a fitness and nutrition fanatic for over 10 years now. I listen to y’all every day and this was the best podcast you’ve aired to date. I am sharing this with everyone I know

Just starting phase 2 of anabolic! These last few months putting resistance training first with priming properly has made me a believer. Excited to see the results by the end of anabolic and cant wait to do it again being able to lift heavier!

It’s eye opening to see that my clients are either on the too much cardio hiit training or just not moving at all. Most people don’t have a healthy relationship with exercise. However, podcasts like yours will help change the trajectory of fitness and health.

Guys I understand that the giveaway every podcast is nice and attract a lot of people, myself included (boy coming from a 3rd world earning one of the programs for free is a big deal), but seriously, the results of the giveaway based on the "best" comment is that there will be a LOT of "this is my overcoming story and how I went from x to a fit x because of the show" comments and people won't give a shit about anything else. There is no engaging of the community this way. We need to have discussions in the comment area. We need memes. We need questions and answers, people engaging. Just take a look, pick any previous podcast and scroll down the comments, its very rare to have some with more than 3 replies. I myself asked lots of questions and they simply went unnoticeable because of the vast amount of "trying to win the prize" comments. I don't think this is a healthy scenario specially for the algorithm of youtube No one is scrolling down because no one wants to read that amount of texts trying to win the free giveaway Thank you

You guys give me LIFE! I’m always smarter after listening. Just ask all my friends since I never stop sharing your content! Keep going please!

Got the book LOVE it... I’m almost through with it. I’m reading it slow cuz I don’t wanna finish it yet!! Definitely recommend this book for anyone. I’m a trainer and there’s so much knowledge I can share with my clients. Trainer or not every one should read this book.

Long time listener, first time commenter. I am going to say that this Pod hit like no other and touched on a lot things that I needed to hear in order to stay on track with my training and I do mean that...... However, I must admit, I decided to comment only because of the chance of receiving that nude of Doug!!! Can Sal sign THAT as well??? Cheers fellas. Appreciate all the content!

The reason I weight train is because of the mental benefits. I tend to be susceptible to a low grade depression and resistance training makes me feel better. Also, focusing on the process while lifting takes my mind off circumstances I can’t do anything about.

Sal - I can't wait to read the book!! What I would love is an over the top reaction video from Justin and Adam, that would crack me up.

Love yalls stuff! As a college athlete who also works as a personal trainer you guys podcasts helps me not only improve on my own fitness but how I can apply some of yalls personal training philosophies to my own craft.

there is a saying that goes "pirates don't realize that the real treasure is the friendships they built in the journey and not the gold" and I think it fits very well with training. Yeah, you spend years trying to reach a body that you want, but look at all the amazing people you met. Look at how you manage to set a goal and accomplish it. Look at how more intoned with your body you are. Look at how you learned to eat healthy. Look at how more agile you are And the most important: look at how happier you are.

Bookworm and gym rat are my spirit animals, so I need the naked photo of Doug so I can live long and prosper, Sal. Pretty please. The book, I meant the book!

As. a teen in the late 80s i couldn't get over negativity towards weights.."it's bad for your heart"," muscle turns to fat if you stop" ,"makes you slow","makes you stiff"," "stunts growth ",..from the spandex cardio craziness to the circuit training mania to spin classes,western yoga to cross fit ,it was either cardio or cardio with weights. There was a stigma against straight set strength training.

Love you guys!! Man, helped me so much this past year. Anyway, ive been really getting into frequent-low intesity training throughout the day. Its so different from what im use to; 3-4 60-90min full body sessions a week. I needed to change up my routine to keep my bod guessing, but also ive been much busier lately and the 90 min has been kinda daunting and harder to keep up. So my question is -- whats the stretching routine for these frequent low intensity work outs? With my usual routine I do 10min dynamic before and static after.

I love listening to Sal, Justin, and Adam. But, where can I find similar resistance training content from a female trio?

Hi! I would love to get a signed copy of your book

Thanks Adam for the caffeine tip on non workout days.

Hi Sal! I have the kindle version of your book. 😊 I read aloud the book every night to my husband and it has become our mini book club 😉

How about u guys put the prompt on the screen so we can read them instead listen u guys reading them?

Your podcasts and videos have inspired me to live a better life. Eating well and training is now part of life where initially I felt I was always dieting and didn't have a good relationship with food. I train now with purpose and mentally it has helped me feel better too. Thanks boys for the great advice. God bless 👊

Been waiting for this giveaway...i have a frame on my wall that needs to be filled. Doug will be perfect 👍

I’ve got a friend that I’d love to give a copy of the book too! I would give them my copy and the pic of Doug and keep the signed copy for me!

I could really use that book. I blew out my ankle skateboarding and could use some good reading material while if recover. I am planning on getting on maps anabolic when I can actually get back to the gym. I am sick of being skinny fat.

I am so happy I found you guys because if I didn’t I would probably be a cardio bunny still. I have had some hormone issues and they were worried about bone density but I truly think weight lifting has saved my bones!

I’ve been lifting weights for 4 straight months and has gained weight. I feel leaner but what do I need to more of to shed about 10 pounds ?

I started my personal trainer course And bc of u guys I'm the smartest guy in the class, so that's the best comment over here 🙂 But for real I have a question how about training in front of the mirrors and without mirrors , what's the pros and cons? I would like to see the answer from u guys.

Resistance training allows body to reach its potential and therefore becoming more immune to diseases. We just need help the body activate its hidden gems and abilities

Great find

The stuff you guys share changes peoples lives. Thank you.

Run into these guys a week ago! What an amazing content, engaging, fun, educational! I f love it!

Health is Wealth

Great show and very informative 😊!!

Quick question, I own maps anabolic and the hiit program, I just started anabolic this week so I’m in the pre phase, would I be doing to much if I did the hiit program at the same time? Maybe doing anabolic in the morning and the hiit in the afternoon? Thanks guys

Was 330lbs I’m down to 292 with maps 😎

Most underrated podcast on KZfaq!

A goldmine of a podcast. Keep preaching the IRON 💪🦵🚀

Do it in the morning, get it done before your thoughts go "ill do it tomorrow" At least thats better for me. My brain does everything to get away, show your brain who is boss!!

what about HIIT, is it good for fat loss and how many times in a week we should do? Thank you im a new subscriber and love your content:)

Love the podcast, learned a lot. been following you guys for years. Save the naked Doug pics please!

"High Vibration Gangster" that shirt is lit as the sun! Dope shirt!

‘Resistance training’ is such a broad, ambiguous term. Can Mind Pump or anyone else out there explain what the conditions are that constitutes resistance training? A specific definition of what you mean. How heavy to lift? How many sets or reps? How often? How long should one workout last? Without properly explaining, I could imagine that there are a fair amount of people who are lifting weak and small volume. Case in point, I was told walking would be beneficial to my health. So I did just that. One or two blocks. Nothing happened. Didn’t get results until I started putting 4+ miles in a walk. Nobody ever said walk X miles or X steps. Now here you guys are giving out the same vague info. At least give a bare minimum.

Hey guys, you podcast is not updating on Google podcast, the last episode that was uploaded was #1544. Pls check thanks

Running isn't running. For instance, I suspect trail running (and mountain biking) would be more cognitively active than track running (and road cycling).

When you made the comment "if you do cardio you lose testosterone because your body is telling it to get rid of muscle" You should define "cardio" in this particular context because low intensity cardio (walking) has shown to not hinder muscle growth or performance and burn fat. In regards to the testosterone and walking one could deduce testosterone is not effected.

Thursday May 6 2021 GONNA KILL ARM DAY. Yours Truly Sal.

Vive la resistance!!!!! Vive la revolucion!!!!

I’ve been hitting the gym for a year. I’m not seeing much muscle gain, I’m not losing fat and I’m still sexually unappealing to woman (lol but that’s seriously true). However, over the past year I’ve grown to LOVE lifting weights and I’m so much stronger than when I started. I could only curl 20 pounds and I’m up to 85, I couldn’t bench the part more than 15 times and I’m benching 120lb. I’m so proud of myself, I did this for me. I did this so I could live longer and do the things I love to do in life into my older years. Now I’m working on pushing harder and figuring out my diet and the gains will come… I’ll still be sexual kryptonight to women though and that’s okay. I’m trying to learn to love myself a little more.

Resistance training and mindpumpmedia = best therapy

I wonder if they even know..... about the resistance revolution!!!!

Amazing insight! New to MP, absolutely love it 💪🔥

Amazing!

Lifting weights is for people that want to do it

Can I get a Mindpump calendar instead?

At about 14 1/2 minutes, you mention balancing estrogen and progesterone and growth hormone for women. I wonder why testosterone is never mentioned for women, when we actually have more testosterone than estrogen in our bodies, and as we lose it, we also need replacement.

When is the Mind Pump Naked pic calendar coming out?

Truly the best fitness podcast! Goats 🐐

So your basically saying I'm a superhero. Nice!😎

Sal, how do I win your signed copy?

I really want that prize. The book is cool too I guess

We ❤️ Mind Pump!

Grateful for the content you guys provide 💯

Viva la revolución! Viva la algorithm boost! Thanks for another great episode, fellas!

this episode is gold!

They don't even know!

In Arnold Schwarzenegger voice… I PICK THINGS UP AND PUT THEN DOOWN!!!!
