You don’t insult your audience’s intelligence. That kind of respect for people is rare these days. Thank you for being truthful and real.

This has quickly become my favorite thing to listen to on a daily basis. I am an Army Master Fitness Trainer and have learned a TON from Mind Pump! Thank you guys for what you do!💪🏻

Wow, what an amazing show, they all are actually, but this was just what I needed to hear right now. I’m a nurse working through post Covid stuff( weight gain, exhaustion, emotional burn out) on top of menopause. I am 59 and was in pretty good shape and have been battling the weight gain. I’m so hard on myself, I still exercise, but am not as lean as I’d like. This show put everything in a new perspective, and I have a new mindset to get there. Thank you!

As someone who had also struggled with anorexia for several years, this episode was probably my favorite one. The vulnerability and authenticity was truly amazing in this episode, thank you guys so much! Edit: it is also super refreshing to hear a man talk so openly about having struggled with anorexia, since that is a rather taboo topic to talk about amongst men.

This is such an important episode. I struggle with this all the time. I know I’m overweight enough that losing fat in a moderate way would increase performance, aesthetics, and longevity but it’s so difficult mentally to get over the hurdle of decreased performance and biofeedback in the short term while being in a deficit. I hate it. Training is less fun. Focus is harder at work. The need to periodize these things really hits home, and looking approaching it this way will help me get over that hurdle.

Jason Phillips is one of the most impactful speakers around. His NCI program is absolutely game changing, and I highly recommend joining if you’re a trainer trying to get to the next level

Love how many times this show has made me look at fitness topics in a new light. A season for everything, realistic expectations, can't have it all at once. Thanks guys!

I saw Jason was in this episode. Had to watch immediately. Dude is impressive

This show has given me so many tools to help me find my path in this fitness journey. After a solid year of running a PPL split I finally retrained my brain to accept the full body training modality. I've seen impressive results in the past couple months after a long plateau. Now learning about how to phase my training through the different seasons of life... Can't thank you guys enough.

Jason and Dr Cabral are my FAVORITE MP guests! It’s be great to see a round table with you all on a future episode!

Literally all the knowledge you will ever need as a trainer is in these podcasts…Thanks fellas what you do is truly helping my fitness journey

This episode is EXACTLY what I needed to hear! I’m 27 years old and I’ve been playing soccer all my life, but 2 years ago I had a hip injury and had to give it up. I started having to go to the gym and monitor my diet for the first time in my life and have been super frustrated with myself and my body because I’m not able to eat the way I want while still achieving my aesthetic goals. Listening to this really put in perspective how I need to change my goals in order to achieve the body I want while still living the lifestyle I want (drinking wine on the weekends and eating carbs since they have never been a problem before), so thank you so much!

Absolutely love it when y’all have Jason on. He just talks absolute truth that we all need to hear. Especially at the start of the show. Thank you

I’m a client and LOVE this. Just as important for the client to understand as the coach! A coach isn’t a jeanni we as clients must understand .

Not through entire episode yet but this is a great message; looks and performance and longevity need to be thought through realistically more, and how they can best be worked together even they are in some cases contradictory goals

This is something I continue to struggle with. I had a coach that I loved working with in the cutting season, but he didn't seem to listen to my feedback when I finally decided that I wanted to get stronger. I had reached 8% body fat and looked pretty good, but was too skinny and needed more muscle on my frame. He seemed dead set on his way of training which was all aesthetic-based (light weight, supersets, and lots of cardio). I had to stop working with him and have since been following the advice on this show. I'm happy to say that finally (after 3 years of training), I can hit a 225 squat. While I'm not as lean, I am continuing to work on boosting my metabolism and trying not to let the mirror and scale get to my head. I hope to go through another cutting season when it's actually appropriate so that I can diet on higher calories and hopefully have more muscle on my frame next time!

This guy Jason is very transparent. He’s honest and accepting of himself. LIFE GOALS💪🏾

The truth will set you free, honesty with yourself will help promote success in life and the gym! Great show and guest!

As a trainer I appreciate all the knowledge and truth you guys drop on the daily! 🙌🏼 THANK YOU

Thank you for the interesting conversation. I have been playing these podcasts in the background as I get ready in the mornings for my job as a Pt and group instructor.

You guys are the best! This is probably the best advice I’ve heard. I love the idea of phasing your training. This is something I will start doing for me personally

Easily up there in the best duos of all time…MP & JP! Like others before me, you guys have been life/game changing for fitness/health for me. Thank you!!

Been watching last 2 months all I could on health and fitness with MP since I found you guys and learning more than I thought I needed. It's the info with no bs that I needed to hear and learn and now apply. Now my real journey to a better me begins. Thanks guys!

This episode was so enlightening. This was my first time listening to Jason and his perspective is so unique. The triangle absolutely blew my mind!

Tip from Jason about writing down your goals and realising the consequences of each goal/Endeavour really puts my own fitness goals in perspective and shows me what I really want

I love you guys being so Real, I can’t miss a show, I’m learning a lot, thank you! After Covid hit me hard I had problem with consistency so I started doing Maps 15 , and it helped , and I’m ready to incorporate longer workouts in my routine ☺️.

I've been around 27-29% body fat for a while and it's been very difficult to lose any type of fat. Because of this I've focused on performance and relatively healthy eating rather than trying to cut fat. It feels impossible to cut any type of fat so I've learned to avoid it.

People need to know the truth (that’s why I’m always recommending Mind Pump)Even a reminder sometimes, like myself! I want it all at once sometimes but it’s not possible to get it all at once but it’s possible to get all with time.

Man I wish Jason was the 4th host. Loved this episode, so insightful. Especially about the analogy of life in seasons. Woke me the fuck up

I struggle with keeping my mind right on keeping my goals health related vs extreme. Frequent doses of you guys keep me on the right path

Would love to win MAPS anabolic. I recently started my fitness journey and have learned so much from MindPump. I really needed to hear todays episode. “You can have it all, just not all at once.” That’s applicable to so many things in life! Great episode.

Jason Phillips is a really good guest. Thanks

New to MindPump, but after watching one episode with Jason P, I know he only brings top shelf knowledge! TY all!

Holy cow! The pursuit of fitness as a triangle hit me so hard! I’ll never forget it! Like Thanos said “Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.”

What an incredible show and a very generous giveaway! Whoever is blessed with that congrats ahead of time! That would be cool!

Be kind to yourself ❤ balance.

Hello everyone. Great to see Jason on the show. His knowledge about nutrition is unmatched.

Jason Phillips: Manuka honey is AMAZING at helping stomach ulcers heal.

When I think I know everything on a topic. Y'all bring up a new way of thinking of the same topic. I love it. 🤘💪🤘💪

Never heard of this person but he sounds intelligent & genuine, it was a good podcast.

Even though I train a different population (I have Spina Bifida and I train individuals with disabilities like myself and disabled athletes), I can’t even begin to explain how much this podcast + Jason have helped advance my career! Thank you so much for constantly putting out great knowledge.

Hard truths! Telling us what we need to hear, not what we want to hear💪🏻 Periodising goals makes a lot of sense.

Jason rules and is a big inspiration to me personally

Shoutout to mind pump “My uncle Billy Bob always told me a smart man learns from his mistakes but a wise man learn from others “ KEEP AT IT GUYS 😂😂

I love the mind pump crew and Jason. I think they should have Mike Dolce on. he drives elite performance in the highest level of athletes in the world. Says his program does pursue these 3 points simultaneously, with 20 years of very compelling results.

Hey Mind Pump Team! Love this information! I'm currently doing Jason's NCI course right now and the content is amazing. I'm glad that you have him on your show again. It would be great if y'all could make a short clip of this with some of the important topics y'all talked about so I can send them to my clients/friends who need a better understanding of the Triangle of Awareness and the different seasons. Thank you for all your informative content!

Good evening mind pump brothers!! Hell of an episode! Joson is a legend! Hope you've had a great day 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼 Bless up!

For me health ang longevity are most important. And performance to a degree is a way to achive that. Great Episode 👍

Hello Doug, thanks for having us!

You guys talking about the fitness journey in terms of seasons blew my mind really! (TV show addict here) Great analogy Thanks guys 🙌🏽

This is one of the most informative video's your team has put out! I love all your video's but for someone like me who has been lifting for over 20 years this video really hit home for me!

that's the only show that bring up the truth about fitness. i love every eposode. Thank you!!

Having just recently watched Jason's previous appearance, it feels to me like he might not be in the best place during this appearance; but that's just compared to his appearance before this one. Regardless, nothing but respect for him for being honest and realistic about his successes and failures.

You guys are the absolute best! Your show has helped me so much I can't thank you enough! I'm 53 and lifting heavy and putting on muscle still! 😄

I definitely fall into the category of wanting everything and all at once. And every time I hear you guys talk about trade-off is a reminder that I have to pick one or the other

Love when you have great guests , u guys are more than enough but always a great discussion

I occasionally wrestle with the balance between longevity and performance. I'm not competing right now, so it's not much of an issue, but as an athlete, it's a struggle sometimes.

Been waiting on this episode to drop. NCI x MINDPUMP is 🔥🔥🔥

This show is awesome. I was convinced about 1 month ago to try a different approach as I have plateaued on weight lose over a 9 month period. I trust you guys and will increase my calories (especially protein). Will look to reduce a few more pounds at a later time. This show convinced me in a different way that this a good plan. Thanks for the help and the discounts. Going to purchase Cardio this month. AWESOME.

Your show is amazing guys. Addicted to it now. Finishing this program I was already on, so will finish that first but definitely want to start your program afterwards.

Watching every show you guys put out and it constantly helps remind me that the steps im taking is an investment for my future! Thank you for all the great conversations!

damn, what a good episode. Plenty of great knowledge on fitness being a long-term thing rather than it just being a short, intense thing that’s just gonna cause burnout. Now I just gotta apply this knowledge.

Great view on breaking the process into seasons , makes it more realistic and manageable

Let’s gooo. Btw Sal looks incredible in the picture for maps anabolic…that’s goals right there

Love the heads on challenge to contradictions. Applied knowledge is power 💪🏼

Key lesson is that the body only has so many resources to work with, we have to allocate those resources smartly to achieve respectable results.

Great episode. I love the honesty you guys show in this industry.

I thought stress from working out was a good type of stress? As a woman who has spent the past decade wasting away physically and mentally, due to depression, and now wanting to make changes, is there a point where you can be a little of all 3? Like having at least a bit of muscle, looking a little lean, having more stamina. (Yes, I'm very ignorant as I'm new to this.) Is having a 6 pack extreme ( for men or women?) PS: Absolutely love Jason's vulnerability. It takes a strong person to show such vulnerability and I admire his bluntness and honesty. Great episode, one to save.

Best time of day y’all!

Great episode. I do have a question though. You guys spoke about periodising for aesthetics, performance and longevity. I've always thought of longevity as something you're doing in the background such as eating right, getting good sleep, maintaining healthy hormone balance etc. I might be missing the point but what does periodising for longevity look like?

Thank you Jason for sharing your story. I can totally resonate with the struggles you shared.

Such valuable information as usual FOR FREE. Thanks guys!

The amount of vulnerability from Jason was very refreshing to hear.

Great information Nutrition is one of the hardest things to get right. Loved hearing your guest speaker. I am going to modify my diet and try out what you have discussed. Let's see how it goes. Thanks again!

First time stumbling on Jason but wow fit right in and had some wonderful insight love it!

That was an amazing episode. You guys should really have Christian Thibaudeau on the show.

Jason, you are amazing! Thank you for your wisdom.

Just what the doctor ordered!

Probably not good that I resonate most with the “who wouldn’t want the 6pack” part lol

great episode guys!👍, invaluable info on performance, aesthetics, & longevity. I'm 57 yo stevedore in Hawaii, never tried trt or hgh, many of my 20, 30 & 40 yo, Co workers are ON something, imo,.... exercise diversely consistently, get good nutrition consistently, sleep & recover consistently, NATURALLY....... performance,aesthetics & longevity will be the by product, ped's,trt, hgh will compromise one or all of the above if not sooner then later.🤷‍♂️

It's so hard when I see family members and friends falling into fitness extremes. :( it is not the way! Thanks mind pump for the episode

I just recently quit smoking and have gained about 10lbs. I am a small person and 10lbs is a lot for me. Just to give you an idea I am 5ft and normally weigh around 110lbs. I have been as low as 98lbs. I started lifting weights to gain muscle and since I quit smoking the weight gain has really messed with my head. I have seriously thought about going back to smoking because of the weight gain. I keep telling myself it will balance out and the weight gain could be good for my weightlifting, it is very hard to keep a positive mindset though. I am a month and a half in so hopefully I can keep going. I no longer have cravings for a cigarette it's my appetite.

Interesting conversation 👍🏻

Wow! I just had a complete mind shift. I can have everything. I just can't have it all at once.

“There are no solutions. Only trade offs.”

I think Dorian Yates has been one of the best at being able to pivot and changing his mindset to a longevity goal. Seth Feroce has also focused more on longevity because of his kids. Love is the greatest motivator of mankind.

I listen to this podcast when I want to destroy the leftover pizza in my fridge.

Justin needs to talk more. I want to hear his experiences

Mind Pump Yeah Dude!!

I’m currently trying to lose weight and feel good at the same time. Thank you for the information!

Gentlemen what is the longest time period you would ever advise for a cut? What is the shortest? I started fasting for 24 hours a week and love the pump I get training fasted. Just half a scoop of pre-workout and I have such a crazy boost of energy. But is 24 hours not long enough to really get true heqlth benefits from it?

The information is always on point but Sal you get one papercut and your done brother! Them veins poppin lol

as a nee trainer this is so informative thanks guys

The longevity argument is the overweight argument just on the other side of spectrum. Food for thought, literally.

Loved this episode and the vulnerability, really helped a lot! Definitely took value out of the information about not being able to pursue so many things at one time, coming from a soccer player who wants to bodybuild for a physique comp and lose weight 😂 thanks a bunch! Ps. Your giveaway link doesn’t work for me!

Great topic bois.

This episode is packed full of good shit

Boom !!!!! WS champs !! Go Astros 🎉

Never promise what you can’t deliver. Tell me the truth and I’ll trust you forever. May not be what I want to hear though.

Love this guy, but how do I watch it as not part of a playlist?
