MINDPUMP is low key an addiction. My day is just not the same when they don't launch a video. Keep up the good work fellas

That moment when you know you’ve heard something 100 times before but for whatever reason today it clicks. That was today. Thanks guys!

Because you all are teaching the way you are. I feel so hopeful ☺️ I'm 56 and will never give up trying to be better everyday.

For some reason, just over a year ago, something switched in my head my motivation went through the roof! In over a year i have only missed about 15-20,training days. That consistency has made me into a new person.

I’ve been trying to motivate my wife for years to work out. Trying to find different kinds of workouts that would make her “love” or “want” to workout to get the results she says she wants. It’s been hard. But listening to your podcast has definitely helped me understand her not loving to workout but wanting results . I’ve always loved to workout and I guess that skewed how I presented exercise to her. Thank you for all the useful information! Love the show , keep it up!

Creating a realistic workout & nutrition plan has definitely increased my consistency and adherence. I'm loving your MAPS 15 MINUTES course.💙

I listen to you guys daily & have been listening for 5+ years. The content that you guys put out is incredible, especially for a fairly new personal trainer like myself. Y’all really help ease my anxiety regarding training my clients. I sometimes worry that I don’t know enough and feel very prone to imposter syndrome, but I always know to watch a Mind Pump episode and I’ll learn more than I planned to! I appreciate you guys beyond words!

"What you don't do doesn't work." - that's a gem. Thanks guys for the consistent great content. 😊

Once again, my daily Mind Pump hit 🥳 So grateful to you all; my partner has been diagnosed with terminal melanoma, and it has been a privilege to introduce him to your positivity and humour. Thanks for being you!

I have been an ultrasound tech for 30 years. I attribute my injury free career to weight lifting. I tell all of my younger techs to lift and listen to you guys to learn how to do it correctly.

Love how honest and real they are. They admit to making mistakes with they’re past clients. The show helps keep me going.

This is where the MAPS programs are so valuable. Picking a program that realistically fits into your life and schedule, whether it be 6 days a week, 2 times per week, 15 minutes a day, at the gym, with a suspension trainer, or just body weight, having a good program you can go to whatever your circumstances is invaluable.

It’s always the right time for an episode drop on Mind Pump! Let’s go!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I have recently started lifting and concentrating on strength. I don't have it perfected yet but I am working on it. I found Mind Pump. And I love you guys. I spend my extra time listening to you. My lunch hour is now spent with you. Thank you!!!

It’s crazy how much personalities can differ when it comes to working out and challenging oneself. Learning to communicate with my clients by listening and just learning them has been helping me out tremendously. Bless you fellas 💪🏾 #HARDway

Mind pump has become my daily dose of essential multivitamins ❤💃🏽🕺💃🏽🕺

MindPump is a lifestyle for me. I talk about them whoever is around me 😂

i felt attacked with the two unspoken rules 😭 i’m better at deadlifting than benching, but somehow my grip sucks and i find myself skipping calfs some days because i look at them and they just grow on their own 🤣

Thank u all for what u do! I’m 41 years old and am finally paying attention to my protein and strength and how I feel rather than the scale after years of low calorie dieting. It’s a little scary feeling my pants get tighter but y’all keep reminding me to pay attention to how I feel and my energy is amazing and I recently saw a new muscle in my arms that I never had before lol 😆 Thank y’all!!

A realistic routine and program always includes the newest episode of mindpump! Since I discovered you guys a year ago, I have been as consistent in my diet and training as you guys have been with releasing new episodes. I'm Greatful for your consistency and motivation!

I always tell my clients "your fitness journey is YOURS, we can be doing all these exercises, but at the end of the day it comes down to what you put in your body". For the most part my clients leave our sessions empowered, yes the exercises can be challenging, but they push themselves because they are seeing the results

You guys are too funny! Love you guys! I listen to you guys everyday in the morning while I’m getting ready for work.

WV! YEAH, PEYTON! 💙💛 Thank y'all for taking a question from a big ol country boy from the mountain state! Wish we had an east coast Mind Pump group because we need y'all over here!

My diet is fine now thanks to you guys I’ve jumped my protein up to 200-250 vs I was doing omad diet. Getting to the gym was difficult. I work long hours I have a wife and 3 kids so I built a small home gym and now I workout 6-7 days a week for 30 min and my kids will occasionally workout with me. So now I’ve got a winning program

Time for Sal to write some children's books!

Boom another episode lets go

Brothers, I just discovered your podcast, I love it as a lifetime gym rat I love your conversations. Keep it up💪

This episode is very important for beginners and advanced! The best routine is the one that you follow consistently!

For the algorithm!!!

It’s always nice to hear valid advice being taught by MP from people who know what they are talking about, vs others who regurgitate bro science across social media.

You guys are great😊

I dig this channel honestly on training and nutrition. Any special tips for endomorphs?

Great episode once again! Maps Anabolic is not in my library yet… cough cough… but just here to support your channel! Keep entertaining and providing great knowledge!

I enjoy listening to you guys talk about cannabinoids. I’ve been working with cannabis for a few years in different setting. To help clarify.. the terpenes of the cannabis plant determine the kind of high/effects you have and the THC percentage determines how intense that high is. You can find terpenes in other plants as well like garlic or mangos for examples. I hope this helps in some way !

Thank you for the informative content. I’ve been listening for a few years and have learned so much from you guys. I started coming to you guys for fitness content, but now I find myself enjoying the conversations you have about topics including fatherhood and mental health. The knowledge I’ve received from the podcast in invaluable. The impact you guys make is immense.

Just started listening to this channel a week ago and have listened to probably 20 so far. Love it

51:33 that makes sense because I’ve had indicas that were waaaay mentally stimulating to the point of being uncomfortable when I was just trying to melt into my couch w some friends lol

you guys are great, my day isn't the same without listening to Mind Pump

Mind Pump is the best part of my morning!

Just started listening to you guys and I've already picked up a couple of things to optimize my workout.

Enjoy listening to you guys and trying to incorporate these tips in my new healthy life! Thanks!❤

Listening to your podcast ruined everything I thought I was doing well (and didn't know why I couldn't succeed 😅). I am still struggling to understand and implement the best strategy... thank you for all the information!

Calf muscles that make my boyfriend jealous, but can't do a dead hang to save my life. I think they might be onto something here.

Great info

Learning a lot! Thank you 💪💪💪💪

Can't get enough of these guys!

Dropping hints for the algorithm 😉

Hahaha I had a teacher tell us we can cheat but if we get caught he’ll fail us and send us to the principals office. I took it as a challenge and used the clear pen trick.

Once again, it's a great show guys all this information is very valuable . Thank you

I've been going to bed listening to you guys here lately..... but definitely doesn't mean I'm ready to play 'pillow fights' with Sal... 😄 Hooyah Mindpump!

Love the content, it’s consistently on point and relevant. Looking forward to checking out one of your products soon!

Brilliant!

I always have so many things to think aboutafterI watch you guys.

Mind Pump Yeah Dude!!

OMG! That calf /Grip thing is so funny 😂 I have big calves and a weak grip - My husband has small calves and a strong grip. 😂

Such an amazing discussion.. just listening to mind pump has changed my life so much 😊

Best fitness podcast , period.

Started anabolic yesterday but incorporated trigger sessions beforehand when I heard about them. The programming is so different than what I am used to but I’m excited to push for more weight on lifts and get bigger. Thanks for all the knowledge guys!

Amazing

Calves so big I would copy my text books on them to cheat on tests. 😂 Great pusher with average grip strength. 2nd week of maps bands. Really enjoying the the break from weights while recovering from a shoulder injury. Great content guys! Keep it up!

Y’all never disappoint 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

Let's gooooo ! Stoked when new 1s drop !!

I just started weight training for a month now and I am 55 years old prior i ocasionaly went to the gym for cardio only (Was a runner until my injury 5 years ago) this is my routine to be changed once a month Day 1: Traps-Deadlifts-Assisted Squats (ankle injury makes doing reg squats VERY painfull) Day 2: Chest- Biceps- Abbs Day 3: Back - Triceps- Shoulders REST Day 1 Day 2 Day 3

After a life time *52* of dieting, under eating (listening to doctors "eat less, exercise more"). Trying to repair my metabolism, what are things to look for? I've finally got up to 1550 and packing on the lbs! I don't want to go back to starvation...seriously seeking suggestions!!! Help

Is something wrong with me if I have weak grip and small calves? 😂 just kidding, definitely #teamcalves

So good !! This info is priceless.

What if you're afraid of the after goal part? You guys are so encouraging and real that I know I'll get there!

Honestly, I think he would do better training the Zercher deadlift&power cleans versus regular deadlifting, esp when it comes to getting stronger with grappling because grip was covered, yet your hips need more range of motion, with much tighter lats (from the natural supination of the zercher), but you also need to be able to absorb impact and the power clean will help far better than a deadlift for that. Defibitely deadlift but not as much as you think. Sandbag training is also beneficial because grip back&hips all get trained from something not stiff/rigid. Even rucking can help because of the breating while maintaining posture effect, And the traps will get an overload supporting your shoulders if you're wearing a vest vs backpack. You can also get some extra work into your posture muscles with power snatches.

Small calves gang but definitely am the friend that squeezes my friends hands for fun 😂

I used to save a lot of answers in my graphing calculator which I bought a keyboard for so that gave my calculator a cover that's also a stand and I would use it in every class

I was in the army with a guy who was like 5'4 and built like a fire hydrant. He could do push ups for days because he had such short arms. I'm 6'4 with long arms, so when I do pushups I'm traveling twice as far as this guy. Lifting has so much to do with limp length and most people don't realize that

Maybe the answer to your grip/calves conundrum lies within the intrinsic musculature of the feet and hands. Feet are generally (not always) imprisoned in a shoe thereby inhibiting the muscles in and between the metatarsals to atrophy in a sense from underuse, but calves are developed by means of gross movement of the feet by means of plantar and dorsi flexion. Hands by contrast are always front and center manipulating their environment. I have to think it through further. But maybe there's something to it. Or maybe not. Sunny Days, Gentleman! You guys are top shelf! 🌞🌞🌞

Judoka, climber, deadlifter. I got some strong pullies, can’t bench to save my life! Calves are toned and I’m satisfied with them, but they’re definitely smaller than I would expect given the workload.

The Grip/Calves theory is brilliant! I'm definitely proof of it. Zero calves, excellent grip. I think you're onto something, find an elite climber with massive calves...

“With enough pullies” 😂 dead

You guys remotivated me to become a personal trainer

Adam that’s exactly how I sports bet! I thought there’s no way no one figured this out! 😅

Sal! Huge calves here! Can confirm terrible grip strength 🤣🤣

You guys are amazing and legit!!

Great to have found this channel. I’m loving the practical advice. I just embarked on the 6 day 20 min workout and I’m focused on lifting and improving. Oh, definitely increasing protein. Do you train clients virtually?

As a guy who's had big calfs all his life.. my grip always holds me back from Deadlifting heavy 😂

Straight up my Dad is 100% the short stubby meat hands and giant calves. I am following a similar path.😅😅😅

Love you guys. Telling the truth.

Grip and calfs remark sadly is so true

Desperately trying to improve my upper body strength.

came for plan knowlage, left with poker knowlage 😂

So the first subject is making me wondering, every body is unique and so their programs, so why selling premade programs? Is it to use as sample or to follow step by step?

Just love your content!

For a minute I thought we were getting a master class on personal training 😂 still waiting on a maps trainers course

Loved hearing the skill-based advice with the cheerleader/dancer in a world where we tend to push more lifting iron. Great episode!

Eddie hall would like a word about the grip and calves theory. I get he's an outlier tho lol

the calf grip relationship is so fucking true

Great topic!!

100% can confirm. comical calves, good grip strength

I know what I need. I need one of these men to train me. 1 on 1 of strength training. What do you say guys ? Lol

I'm definitely more of a puller. Never been a strong presser but working on it. I have always had naturally big calves. I have good grip strength but that might be the 10+ years of BJJ training for the save 🤔

Doubling back with another comment, it’s wayyy more useful info than just fitness here .. had to get SnapCalorie to add to my arsenal, gotta stay on the cutting edge with my coaching! Thx

Strong calves & weak grip person here. Now I am going to ask my workout friends

The correlation between grip and calves could be one of length of lower leg length and finger length.

I just bought asthetic🎉 did 1st day phase 1 yesterday
