I love how consistent you all are. I know you live busy lives but still take the time to make these videos for us. On a side note, I’ve started eating more calories after listening to your podcast and I’m noticing good results and I’m feeling so much better while working out. Thanks guys !
Yes now episode..I so live fir you guys on a daily basis...BEST PODCAST ever love mom of 4 trying to get fit.. I have been commenting on the last couple shows...love yall 🥰
I love the confidence that this show has given me! I'm not overly concerned about hitting plateaus because of all the information they share and different programs they make.
I totally agree with the methodologies you enumerated here and 3-5 are sort of staples of my training. But there are tons of other "techniques" you could hypothetically utilize to break through plateaus. Tempo training for one. I think half-reps or one-and-a-half-reps training could probably help, too. Plyometric training can help. Learning proper breathing and tensing can contribute. And more.
Again, perfect timing, MindPump! Been plateauing for a while with my back squat, so I am so thankful for all the advice. Thank you again for all you do!
Great show! I’ve tried multiple different diets and workout regiments with no success. I recently started lifting weights with just a pair of dumbells at home and/or doing push-ups everyday. I noticed more gains with just 15-20 workouts than when I used to go to the gym. I stopped going to the gym when I hurt my knee doing squats and changed jobs. Now i just workout at home while the kids eat breakfast or once they go to bed. Googling info about diet, I came across your show. Right before I your show I was about to try a very low calorie diet to lose weight. I’m glad I didn’t go with a low calorie diet but went with eating a high protein clean diet and meal prepping. I’m down 16 pounds since January and stronger than ever. I haven’t tried your programs yet but will probably start with maps 15 or anabolic.
Relatively new viewer here. Have you guys done an episode on routines related to combat training? For instance my current fitness goal is to bury my clavicle in muscle so it can't be broken with a downward strike.
I just want to say I have been listening to you guys for months. You all totally changed my life. I have been back in the gym since January trying to lose my covid weight. I used to do everything I shouldn't do, like mad cardio. Now I do the least to gain the most, as Adam has mentioned in the past. I do weight/resistance training 3 times a week. I don't have body dysmorphia anymore. I never weigh myself. I just workout to get stronger in hopes to change my body comp. I honestly thought I could see change in my body, but I also thought maybe I was delusional, as I wasn't getting any comments from anyone else. Finally staff at the gym have mentioned how good I look as well as family. Man, so many positive things I can say about you all and the knowledge you have filled me with. I tell everyone about your show and share the content I have learned with others too. So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all for sharing your knowledge and wisdom freely with us all. But the biggest take away.. Thank you for teaching me patience and persistence!! I wish I could give you all a big Italian hug and kiss! Truly!
Always the best tips from these intelligent and experienced trainers! The main three of these tips from them that I incorporated to surpass my 6 year plateau was focusing on my sleep, stabilizer muscles (through prime and prime pro) and trying exercises I was terrible at. Ever since I started ACTUALLY doing what these guys say I’ve seen drastic change! Thank you Mind Pump!🫡
Strong is my favorite Maps program so far!!! It's the first time that I'm focused on getting stronger and I've completely forgotten about aesthetics. I feel great! Long live Mind Pump!❤
A fairly new listener (January 2023) and been trying to listen to an episode everyday to try and catch up. In the short time I have been a fan, I have already changed one of the biggest hurdle and mindset in my health journey, I now learned to exercise because I love my body (this body that has been through 2 operations and countless ER and ICU visits due to previous ailments) and I now call it my health journey and not constantly chasing after fat loss. Also, I love love the rapport and the heckling among the guys, listening to the guys heckle each other constantly remind me of my 3 older and bigger brothers ( all of which tower over me, 5'10 to 6'2 while their only sister is only 5 '1). Thank you guys.
Just incorporated more high rep programming 20 plus reps, rest pause sets etc. This podcast couldn't have come at a better time. Especially with what you have to drop your weight down to just to squeeze out those higher rep sets. It's very humbling and still kicks your butt 😂
Plateaus don’t stand a chance when you have Mind Pump on your side. Work smart, work strong, and work with your body. Keep crushing Mind Pump fam! Let’s go! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
5:00 i was actually able to avoid gaining much weight in my mid 20s when i was doing advanced calisthenics, and i didnt eat enough protein to put on muscle. I'd have a protein shake after my workout, but didnt really program a diet to gain weight. I wanted to get where i wanted to be with calisthenics before gaining weight, so i got to where i could do a 1 arm pull up at about 135. 10 years later, im training for competitive armwrestling, and got up to 176, walking around 160-165. I actually was able to train harder 10 years ago cuz i went a few years where i barely trained and my consistency and intensity just hasnt been the same, but i was able to put on weight by ensuring i was eating a lot of protein, and i tried to make sure my diet was mostly clean. My goal is to be 180-185 walking around and cut to 176 for competition, but we'll see.
You guys are awesome!! The best part about you guys is knowing I can come home and I listen to you guys while I workout everyday. Yall never disappoint when it comes to new information day in and day and the fact it is put in an easy to understand way makes it even more enjoyable to listen to. There is no doubt you guys will continue to grow and reach even more people. Keep up the hardwork!!
Tempo has been the biggest change I’ve made affecting my gains. Pausing with the weight towards the bottom while still under tension and getting more used to explosive pushing movements is novel to my body and I feel it is a game changer overall. Also I think the combination of ashwaganda ksm-66 and creatine has been helping me. Only started those because of research and you guys. Thanks for helping me get closer to my goal summer body and being so much healthier than I EVER was!
Just finished my last workout of my first run-through of MAPS Anabolic this morning! Still in the newbie gains phase, I think, but I have been loving seeing the strength increases (especially as it translates into my daily life). Glad to have this info at hand for when a plateau comes along.
Another great message from you guys. I feel like this is something I can always hear, because I get so comfortable with a routine and I just run it until I hit a plateau. Thank you so much for what you guys do!
Great topic Iv only gone up 5 pounds in my bench in the last 9 months Iv only been consistent for 2 years so I don’t think I should be progressing this slow yet
Particularly great session; lots of good information broken down to make good decisions on. Also timely for my own journey. Thanks! Let's go get stronger
I recently started listening to you guys, and I’ve already learned a ton, especially about how important dieting is! Thanks for all the great advice 🍗🥚💪🏼
Great episode. I love the type of episodes. I love the topic of strength. I would also add stepping away from the bar and doing calisthenics. If you don't think you will increase your grip strength try hanging on the bar and doing some of those crazy skills plus increasing work capacity
Great tips guys! like always, I have following most of the tips you are providing espacially " more is not always better' which i am struggling with , and the diet /sleep wise, however it would be nice if you'd address the fat loss plateau , if you have nay tips regarding that subject
Suitcase carries really work your stabilizers as well. There’s no equal weight on your other hand to keep you in balance (like there would be in farmer’s carries) so your stabilizers have to work even harder
Really enjoy these conversations and learnings. As a fifty year old male I continue to look for these opportunities to maximize strength while keeping muscle growth. Thank you
Heyy I Love y’all videos and God bless y’all , y’all have helped me out so much, and am hoping I can get the program, bc getting strong is one of my biggest goals rn!!, Love y’all guys!!
Yeeeeees! I tried the 4-2-2 yesterday and my mind was blown!! Your strength tips and advice has always blown my mind - not sure why I keep getting surprised lol. Thank-you!
Winner Winner! Please email Ann ann@mindpumpmedia.com with a screenshot of your youtube username, winning episode number, and the email address you would like the program under and we will get you hooked up!
Thank you gentlemen. Another great session. Strength at 54yo, for me, has been an exercise in patience...pun intended 😁. I never really took things seriously until my late 40s but it seems that I had done enough over my lifetime to get in shape with a reasonable amount of focus and consistency. It feels like I have plateaus on every lift now but I feel like this is just what happens after you reach your genetic limits (225lbs, 5'10",~12%bf). Using your advice, I look to volume as a way to progressively overload because adding weight to the bar is something I have to be really careful with.
Damn you are so consistent with the content! I cant keep up with how fast you publish videos. I’m planning to add more time to cardio just to catch you with all you videos. :) Tnx 💪🏼
NGL, I needed to hear this today. I had the whole feeling stronger last night when hitting some PRs, and I need to get out of my head when looking in the mirror. My arms and legs have really cut down, but my whole midsection is fluff... I feel like a marshmallow with pretzels sticking out 😂😅
Strength gains does not keep rising indefinitely. Areas I look at is can I get another rep or 2. Am I able to lift the same fatigued as I'm fresh. We can all get our max when fresh but when fatigued how much can we lift. The smaller the drop I'm gaining strength even if the number can't go up. World's strongest man can lift a car but they can't lift 2. So it comes down to how can lift the most times.
Take a severe symmetry & strength imbalance due to one side dealing with a: torn rotator cuff, torn bicep, right leg amputated below the knee. Where does one start to try affecting and changing this imbalance? Should I be doing extra reps with my weak side? Try more static holds like when doing curls or dumbell presses?
Great show. I am struggling with balancing this, I’m up at 6.30 and work out late evening, often after 9, and bed by 11. Am I better to have hit my eating targets for the day before working out or should I leave a bit over for after?
Have you guys ever had a female client with estrogen dominance see strength gains but also gaining weight and inches? Low carb, whole foods diet prioritizing protein (100-130g/day) 5’4.5”. I’ve been resistance training off and on since college but consistent for the past 2 years, following MAPS programs since August of last year. I’m scheduled to have surgery in about a month for endometriosis.
I seam to have problems with carbs and sugars as a general as in it messes with my mood, internal temperature, headaches, and several other notable things. It’s been like that for a majority of my life including close relatives and so most of us are on Keto including me. I’ve noticed for certain things in the gym like recovery and standard level energy level it’s great but I’m curious on how much it’s hurting me not having the carbs or if you guys have any advice for long term low carb diets for someone trying to build and gain strength/muscle
Idk about the sleep thing i sleep alot of 5 hour nights and still build muscle..and get stronger and im in my 30s i think u guys need to do more studies on that u gotta remember a regular person that works 70hour week we barely sleep ..so what ur saying is give up because we dont sleep …how about u train u body to get use to it..i did and im able to make great gains
Ahhh… so I’m probs under eating. I’m an X-ray tech so I’m on my feet most the day. I just ordered a high protein chicken wrap instead of just drinking a shake. 😂😂 What do u do if your not hungry. ?? I just spent 1.5 hours hard at squat rack. How do I do my fasting m-f and still get in enough calories.
Huh, interesting that eating before sleep can have effects like that. I work 4, 12 hour days, so I typically eat when I wake up, and when I get home from work on those days. So when I eat, it's about an hour and 15 minutes before I go to sleep. Maybe I will need to find some way to eat my final meal while still at work... 🤔
I am 6 ‘1” 260 lbs from 321 lbs. progress has slowed and I’d like to know which maps program may be good for me. I bought sals book “the resistance training revolution “ I’m in the middle of the dumbbell workout and I am making progress. What maps workouts should I do and what order? Thank you.
If I eat within a few hours of going to sleep I toss and turn all night. Eating before bed will negatively affect my sleep more than consuming too much caffeine will.
What should I be focusing on strengthening if I can't squat with much weight on the bar? Im pushing it if I put an extra 10 kgs on the bar. It's the one lift that Im the weakest at so I'm curious as to why.
A trick you can do is load the bar with more weight than you can do unrack but don't squat then re rack lighten the load to what you can do. It gets your body used to a heavier weight. Then as the weight of your squats that you can do rises in reps. Over a week or 2 to your max rep range. Then try doing a heavier squat. If it doesn't feel safe don't do. You are trying to make the body feel safe. So by simply taking a weight heavier than the body is used to help the body to get used to that weight
How do you handle a client who you suggest they eat their goal weight in grams, and they consult their doctor and the Dr is concerned with too high protein on the kidneys. Client is in his 60s, weighing over 230 lbs I suggested 180g protein daily
I love how consistent you all are. I know you live busy lives but still take the time to make these videos for us. On a side note, I’ve started eating more calories after listening to your podcast and I’m noticing good results and I’m feeling so much better while working out. Thanks guys !

Best training for combat sports, especially mma , are kettlebells, for explosive power and endurance plus alot of grip and core strength work

Would love to see an episode with Dr. Cabral where you guys discuss protein consumption and longevity, since you guys have different opinions.

I'll note that I've had great workouts after doing keto for months and months, with just an additional 20-30 carbs on top of my normal 20 max.
Damn you are so consistent with the content! I cant keep up with how fast you publish videos. I’m planning to add more time to cardio just to catch you with all you videos. :)

Idk about the sleep thing i sleep alot of 5 hour nights and still build muscle..and get stronger and im in my 30s i think u guys need to do more studies on that u gotta remember a regular person that works 70hour week we barely sleep ..so what ur saying is give up because we dont sleep …how about u train u body to get use to it..i did and im able to make great gains
I actually don't have much to say but it it pleases the algorithm 😂
Ahhh… so I’m probs under eating. I’m an X-ray tech so I’m on my feet most the day. I just ordered a high protein chicken wrap instead of just drinking a shake. 😂😂
What do u do if your not hungry. ?? I just spent 1.5 hours hard at squat rack. How do I do my fasting m-f and still get in enough calories.
Man yall are always on topic for the stuff I need. I was asked to enter a deadlift competition for firemen.
Huh, interesting that eating before sleep can have effects like that. I work 4, 12 hour days, so I typically eat when I wake up, and when I get home from work on those days. So when I eat, it's about an hour and 15 minutes before I go to sleep. Maybe I will need to find some way to eat my final meal while still at work... 🤔
Question is it better to just count calories and protein or all macros?

If I eat within a few hours of going to sleep I toss and turn all night. Eating before bed will negatively affect my sleep more than consuming too much caffeine will.

How do you handle a client who you suggest they eat their goal weight in grams, and they consult their doctor and the Dr is concerned with too high protein on the kidneys. Client is in his 60s, weighing over 230 lbs
I suggested 180g protein daily
❤
Is the promo code giving an “invalid code” error to anyone else? 😭 I NEED this program
I wish I could fix my sleep but my toddler needs to fix his first unfortunately 😢
Stone masons have incredible work capacity, imagine laying 80 pound stones for 8 hour shifts.
You have me ready to get back to the gym and destroy some plateaus.
Maybe I need to fix my sleep of 6-7 hours sometimes 5.
Did they really say football is popular over the world?😂
Plateaus are frustrating! It makes sense that you'll see more strength gains when everything is working synergistically. Thank you for the tips! 🦾
I have never as interested in being "in tune" with my body as I have been since I discovered mind pump, loving it. 🫶💪
