Fitness is not a goal, it's a lifestyle. If you want your body to change, you have to commit to a healthy lifestyle for it to adapt. Your body reflects your lifestyle.
100% it needs to be a lifestyle because it's something you need to be conscious of every day. It's hard to be conscious of anything daily. So it needs to be a lifestyle change in order to not fall off. Most people with successful longterm goals change the lifestyle to fit those goals.
Morning Mind Pump Brothers! I remember my mum coming home with a pair of Adidas 2 stripe and I was so excited until I wore them to school and got the piss ripped out of me for my fake Adidas. They were so cheap that they were falling apart half way through the day. Funny now looking back but a horrible day at the time. I have a lot of compassion and respect for my childhood self these days, he survived! You guys and Huberman? Yes please! Have a blessed day lads 👊🏼🙏🏼👊🏼
I live in a country where everyone have the wrong approach to fitness of working their ass off and killing their body in the gym and doing tons of Cardio and I watch them not changing at all, while I'm constantly improving each month with half the effort they're making that's thanks to you guys here, I try the hardest to raise awareness and teach people at the my gym about the essential things you guys always talk about and to spreadi your message of improving peoples quality of life before their body image and it's such a great joy to watch people lives change because of the things I carry to people from you guys💪🏽
This podcast is next level, no B.S just real talk and alot of experience sat in them chairs combined! I love it and completely agree, after forcing my body for years to grow I am now suffering with joint pains and now been looking for the best way to go around this! Thank you guys! Life and body savers! 🙌🙏🙏🙏
I loved hearing this my dad came to the UK at 16 from Jamaica and worked so hard he is 85 now and we never realised how poor we were because our childhood was so much fun we would have Mac Donald’s or KFC maybe 1 time a month and we would be so excited now kids can eat it every day. I would never change the childhood I had compared to my children it made me the person I am today
Just went through the phase of forcing my body to lean out for a figure competition. Mind set was terrible for prep and I truly believe it wrecked complete havoc over my body. In a “health” phase now to get my cycle back and normalize hormones. Health is wealth and fitness should be fun/sustainable! Love your vids, keep up the good fight.
I remember my experience with forcing my body. I used to listen to terrible fitness advice back then and took every exercise to failure, was eating in a deficit, and doing LOTS of cardio. Needless to say, my strength and muscle gain halted really quick and I destroyed my metabolism in the process to the point where when I went back to what I normally eat I gained fat really quick. Now I am implementing the advice given on this show for building metabolism and reducing cardio and intensity and I'm in a much better situation especially in terms of relationship with food.
I have to admit, people always told me I was more like a ballet/endurance/gymnastics type concerning body composition and I have to push myself so hard and eat so much to gain muscle. It kinda felt like I was pushing it into something out of its natural homeostasis. But I enjoy lifting weights, and I want to build my glutes. Currently I'm experimenting with ways to grow without feeling like working against myself.
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.
I'm sorry for your loss. You can gain it back. When famine hits, you're gonna want to have that fat reserve just to survive. Hopefully it'll come back. Shredded is not healthy, especially when there is no food. Stay strong my fellow lifter. 💪
Goodness yes! I won!!! Episode 1892 Winner 💪🏾❤️🥑. This was totally unexpected and a testament to "dreams come true". I am super excited to embark on this journey. Also, you guys are so holistically wholesome and may all the good things keep following you as you continue transforming mindsets and lifestyles. ♥️
I’ve become a Different person these last two years from listening to you guys. It started with physical changes, But more and more the mental changes; sleep, mood, and energy. Your show has grown to more than just weight loss and muscle gain and I’m here for it! Thank you so much for the honest information and continue to be you!
Preventing children from experiencing hardship has been the greatest disservice done by parents. We are seeing this in the uptick of mental health issues and the inability of some to hold a job. The lack of resiliency in this generation is astounding.
This forcing your body discussion is timed so well with what I am going through. Few friends of mine and I do fitness challenges together and the winner is decided by votes on physique. This is the 7th challenge and no one kept their results from previous challenges. It is clear that most people go hard and fast during the challenge and no one can sustain afterwards .
After many on/off tries at fitness and improved health, I’ve finally become consistent in the past few months. This podcast has been a great help in assisting my journey with providing knowledge & entertainment in a holistic manner. My sleep is better, I have more energy, I’m not fatiguing when doing manual labor as quick, brain fog is diminished, happiness is increasing, more excited to do better in other areas such as work, the self improvement that leaks out into every area is insane. And I’m learning, wow I really can hit the gym for 45min-1hour, not go insanely hard, have enough energy to work out the next day, and see BETTER gains. Better fat loss. Stopped chasing the burn and sweat and started chasing goals. Shoot, it feels like once I stopped chasing the pump as hard I actually get BETTER pumps.
Just jumped back on the bandwagon after my husband was having some health issues. Your show today was just what the doctor ordered! Thank you so much for reminding me of why I do this and how important it is to my health.
This episode really hit home. I'm 45, and have some really unhealthy mindsets around food and exercise that Im working through correcting. Talking about extremes and how they always fail made me feel really seen. I go from a great workout plan, it works, I let it fade and I'm back at square one. You guys are such a great motivation and I love that you call out biology in athletics with women vs men. Thanks for all you do!
Hey guys! This episode was something I needed today. My whole life I have struggled with weight and body image issues. Since December I started shifting some behaviors and listening to the podcast has helped a lot. Sometimes its hard because as you guys mentioned, we want everything done quickly. I continue to work through old patterns and my patience. Thank you for all the tips, stories and advice shared. Thank you for communicating how health and fitness is not just how you look, but how it helps to function better as a human being! 🙏🏻
Wow! Hearing your childhood stories really displays why you three are so resilient, innovative, hard working and entrepreneurial! I really think having struggles helps you grow. Hope you are proud of what you have created! 💪🏽💗
I was in undergrad from Jan 2003-April 2007, I was an out of state student, my tuition rate per credit hour increased by about $140. This increase alone was more than what in state rates were.
Listen to you guys while my stepdaughters help me cook🤭 They don’t know I’m sort of teaching them while they are little about the importance of moving your body- while teaching them the importance of nutrition! Thank y’all for making some of this so easy for me!!! Love yalls show, your education, and your personalities!
Listener Live #1 is almost identical to my concerns in terms of upcoming work load and decreasing my gym time from 4-5/week. Thanks for choosing his question since you addressed my concerns too. Been a listener for a year now and you guys never fail to impart your pro-tips. Very encouraging!
This episode came at the exact moment I needed it. I am in a cut and yesterday I fell off the wagon a bit, well a lot lol. Anyways I woke up this morning and was planning on doing this grueling, intense, cardio and weights workout. I turned on this episode as I was warming up and it was just what I needed to hear to snap me out of that mindset. Im going to do a little walking and a couple strength exercises and be done. I’ve been working out for almost 15 years now and I still fall into the this trap. Thanks for saving me from myself!
The dieting part is extremely difficult with a lack of sleep and three young kids...i feel like I need to train most days for the mental benefits first thing in the morning, but anytime I try to implement a moderate cut the lower calories only lasts 3 days until my body ends up feeling destroyed, and I feel like I need to take them back up plus some. I've tried to improve my sleep but its horribly broken, and with my kids I typically am only in bed only 6 hrs. I'm maintaining at 3000 which is crazy for a woman my size, so I feel that cutting shouldnt be this hard. I do get in 15000+ steps a day though. I know I need to back off on my training...any advice for someone interested in wellness competing with a lot of leg volume?
This episode is 🔥. I’ve been on a cut since May… well trying more of a cut/light recomp, but top concern is losing the belly fat and muffin top, while hopefully gaining/maintaining as much muscle as possible. Just keeping losing fat as top concern. I’ve lost over 20lbs and have still maintained muscle… even appears to be more full and shapely. This podcast has helped tremendously with little tips and encouragement. Always helps me to avoid cravings and stay focused when I listen to some of their episodes. Huge fan.
"Salamat sa mga tips, mga p're!!" English Translation from the gym bros in the Philippines: "Thanks for the tips, bros!!" It's exhausting and sometimes frustrating translating all your videos to my people here but the sacrifice isn't nothing compared to what you guys have done and still do for all of us. Gym bros in the Philippines are very grateful for all the content! ... and for google translate. Mabuhay!! 🇵🇭
I love your Dads story it resonates with my immigrant family and my dad’s story about buying a 90$ car that stalled at every stop he was so fit having to push the car. My mom always cut our napkins and our clothes were from Salvation Army
I relate to what Justin said about it actually being harder to not go balls out. I love lots of volume and high intensity so I HATE feeling like I left anything in the tank. For example I was doing 120 yard sprints at the track yesterday. If I really wanted to push, I could've forced myself to do 20 of them. But once I got to 12, I made myself stop and walk a cool down mile. **I still had a good conditioning stimulus from doing 12 all out 120 yard sprints. But since I left 20% in the tank, I felt really refreshed after. However mentally it's hard not to feel guilty about skipping the other 8 sprints. 🤣
Where is the real disciplin? This is my favourite comment of the year and i had never thought of it this way before. Thanks for a great show again lads keep up the great work.
I'm a new listener and new to Fitness and better living in general. And I really feel you guys have led me in the right direction so far. And I don't turn on notifications for apps, so good on ya...
Justin said something very true. It’s mentally easier to go hard. Because it feels good. Accomplishment, the burn etc. definitely takes some mindfulness to keep the long term in mind.
The podcasts keep getting better and better! I really enjoyed this one. One thing I like about you guys is your fan base! Everyone that asks a question is focused and serious about their goals, I love to see it, it inspires me!
I use to be super fit from the ages of 18-22. Got fit again from 25-27, then kind of on for 6 months and stop for a few years. I struggled with weight. Loose 30lbs, then gain it back plus some. When I turned 39 I just got fed up with being a short guy at 5’4”, at 230lbs ish at 38% body fat. I started lifting weights in Oct 2019. I started back in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in early 2020. For 2 years I was forcing the weight loss and muscle mass, and my BJJ progression. Finally I decided in February / March 2022 to re-evaluate what I was doing and researching new studies and data. I literally stopped forcing everything and kind of let go in the correct direction. Now I’m down to 170lbs, at 21% body fat. My body just has completely re-comped. I am finally for the first time in my life at 42 getting this high level athlete look. I was recently told from an old BJJ training partner, that I had not seen in 2 years, told me that I look like BJJ competitor athletes. He absolutely did not recognize me before coming up to me. I feel awesome, I feel completely satisfied with food, and my life feels totally better in all aspects.
Listening to you guys keeps me on track! 'Exercise should be a life enhancing tool', this is so true! I often obsess too much over the details, making everything too complicated and losing so much time that i could spend living life. I am eighteen years old and have been struggling with eating disorders the past four years. Since May i have been focusing more on living life outside of fitness. Altough finding the right exercise routine is still a big struggle I feel like my life is improving day by day and i am starting to trust myself. (Thanks to you guys being extremely informative and real!!!) I am starting med school this month so i am very excited to keep on 'building' instead of 'breaking down' . Thank you for keeping me on track and always pushing me in the right direction.⬆⬆ Greetings from Belgium!!!
I started changing my “I can’t” voices to “I don’t want to” when it comes to eating certain foods for the exact reason y’all mentioned. It gave me more agency in the fact that I chose to avoid things that weren’t gonna serve me well and help build my body. It also helps build better self awareness like if I allow myself the food that I know isn’t great for me I can notice and be aware of the effects that has on my energy, mood, etc.
Consistently working out for 4 years. The trick for me was that I started to see exercise as an important step in self love and health. I see it similar to cleaning my teeth, it just has to be done. I have played sports competively and mostly lived a healthy life which I think helps too. From a mental health perspective I don't feel great when I don't work out. But despite hitting my protein targets I don't have huge muscles like some. I do cycle through phases of rep ranges and programs. I'm happy with my physique but now my focus is more about longevity and living optimally because I have maintained and improved my strength and mobility. I could try and force my body I suppose but I can't afford injury which will just take me further from my goals. But I struggle with overtraining and find it hard to train less than 5 days a week. I think because I was a high level gymnast I get away with it but at 46 I know I'd probably grow more if I did less
Recently found this channel! Love how your up front and honest. Will be 44 this year and just started working out 4 months ago. Too much garbage info out there. So thank you! Im that skinny guy who just never could gain weight.
Oh the scale! Going to toss it out the window and go more on how my clothes are fitting and even the good old tape measure. Thanks for this episode! Was starting to head trip over the scale :)
Daym I wanted to take advantage of the Labor day sale and load up on your MAPS programs. But the sale ended on 28 Aug - SIGH! Cmon guys the sale should be through Labor day. Extend the sale!!! I still love you guys - LOL.
Why is Greg doucette saying train harder. But these guys are saying go easier and easier. Don’t know who to believe. Leaning towards train harder than last time. Greg FTW!!
Just had to say, I absolutely LOVE the new setup! Over the last year I can see you guys have made a ton of upgrades to your set, the mics, video editing, and probably more too. Favorite fitness podcast for sure 👌
Finally someone who approaches fitness from a healthy perspective! Please don't stop uploading videos guys! Your opinions are gold to me. It's not that I follow everything you say as a rule, but I highly value your ideas and incorporate your perspectives into my lifestyle. Thanks!
I don’t think I’ve ever thought of education like that … I mean it’s so obvious what you’re saying just hit me so hard… if only they’d give it out like a regular loan!
Hi guys. What time do you go live? I wanna watch live from Botswana, Africa. It’s challenging to keep up with the live shows. You guys are great and so inspiring 🙏🏾
I’ve been able to maintain and grow more muscle on only 2 days a week of training. In fact, the best gains and physique improvements I’ve ever had are happening on 2 workouts a week. The idea that you need to go to the gym everyday and leave feeling exhausted to see results is dead wrong.
I workout 6days per week, but my volume is optimal and my workout sessions are an hour long at the most which also includes warmup. Also at home i use trigger sessions. I also sleep minimum of 8 hrs and i undulate my calories being in a surplus on a weekly basis. I only hv maps anabolic, which i modify to a six day from 3 day.
Just found your podcast. Anonymous ago and just love it my favourite podcast in fitness and common sense. Thank you for your content helps sort through the fuzz on fitness
I always say, force the body into better shape. In other words, what I’m saying is; workout hard enough in your fitness level to stimulate the muscle and rebuild stronger, better and faster. If you don’t think “force” you’ll remain in your comfort zone.
Fitness is not a goal, it's a lifestyle. If you want your body to change, you have to commit to a healthy lifestyle for it to adapt. Your body reflects your lifestyle.
Well said
Definitely
100% it needs to be a lifestyle because it's something you need to be conscious of every day. It's hard to be conscious of anything daily. So it needs to be a lifestyle change in order to not fall off. Most people with successful longterm goals change the lifestyle to fit those goals.
Morning Mind Pump Brothers! I remember my mum coming home with a pair of Adidas 2 stripe and I was so excited until I wore them to school and got the piss ripped out of me for my fake Adidas. They were so cheap that they were falling apart half way through the day. Funny now looking back but a horrible day at the time.

I love it and completely agree, after forcing my body for years to grow I am now suffering with joint pains and now been looking for the best way to go around this! Thank you guys! Life and body savers! 🙌🙏🙏🙏
I loved hearing this my dad came to the UK at 16 from Jamaica and worked so hard he is 85 now and we never realised how poor we were because our childhood was so much fun we would have Mac Donald’s or KFC maybe 1 time a month and we would be so excited now kids can eat it every day. I would never change the childhood I had compared to my children it made me the person I am today
Just went through the phase of forcing my body to lean out for a figure competition. Mind set was terrible for prep and I truly believe it wrecked complete havoc over my body. In a “health” phase now to get my cycle back and normalize hormones. Health is wealth and fitness should be fun/sustainable! Love your vids, keep up the good fight.

Sal, your dad’s story made me tear up and reminded me to be grateful for our relatively comfortable lives.
It's really cool to hear Adam's genuine passion for leadership and business.
Sal you're dad is a MASSIVE inspiration wow

I'm sorry for your loss. You can gain it back. When famine hits, you're gonna want to have that fat reserve just to survive. Hopefully it'll come back. Shredded is not healthy, especially when there is no food. Stay strong my fellow lifter. 💪
@@quantumpotential7639 when the famine hits I’ll just be sure to steal all the food you and your family have. Thanks in advance for the food

Best fitness podcast ever 💪
Just a fitness trainer/new mom exploring ways to maximize my efficiency for myself and clients. Aspiring to be akin to stifflers mom
MP and Andrew Hubarman are my favourite podcasters! It would be amazing, if they collaborate on the show 😁
Pruning helps plants become healthier, more lush. I can't imagine having part of yourself cut away feels good, but it leads to benefit.
Love hearing these stories about your past.

I graduated in ‘93, in the late 80’s & early 90’s, they had corporal punishment in Texas 🤘🏼
Bring it back, I say !
After many on/off tries at fitness and improved health, I’ve finally become consistent in the past few months. This podcast has been a great help in assisting my journey with providing knowledge & entertainment in a holistic manner.

I think competitive BB is what elevated the fitness industry and pushing yourself to unhealthy limits became the bar.

You guys are such a great collaboration. Each one of you has so much to offer, you guys are inseparable
So glad you guys are talking about Huberman and looking forward to seeing him here. My top 2 podcasts!
Happy Father’s Day and respect to our fathers like Sal’s who sacrificed and risked it all for their families. Thank you 🙏 dad
I relate to what Justin said about it actually being harder to not go balls out. I love lots of volume and high intensity so I HATE feeling like I left anything in the tank.
For example I was doing 120 yard sprints at the track yesterday. If I really wanted to push, I could've forced myself to do 20 of them. But once I got to 12, I made myself stop and walk a cool down mile.
**I still had a good conditioning stimulus from doing 12 all out 120 yard sprints. But since I left 20% in the tank, I felt really refreshed after. However mentally it's hard not to feel guilty about skipping the other 8 sprints. 🤣
Love the explanation on dumbbell rows and engagement of lats🙌🏼🙌🏼
Where is the real disciplin? This is my favourite comment of the year and i had never thought of it this way before. Thanks for a great show again lads keep up the great work.
I'm a new listener and new to Fitness and better living in general. And I really feel you guys have led me in the right direction so far.
And I don't turn on notifications for apps, so good on ya...
Justin said something very true. It’s mentally easier to go hard. Because it feels good. Accomplishment, the burn etc. definitely takes some mindfulness to keep the long term in mind.
Growth and Learning...why ai listen to you guys every day! ❤

Oh goody! A new episode I can listen to on continuous loop until the next episode drops! 😉😉

I use to be super fit from the ages of 18-22. Got fit again from 25-27, then kind of on for 6 months and stop for a few years. I struggled with weight. Loose 30lbs, then gain it back plus some. When I turned 39 I just got fed up with being a short guy at 5’4”, at 230lbs ish at 38% body fat. I started lifting weights in Oct 2019. I started back in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in early 2020. For 2 years I was forcing the weight loss and muscle mass, and my BJJ progression. Finally I decided in February / March 2022 to re-evaluate what I was doing and researching new studies and data. I literally stopped forcing everything and kind of let go in the correct direction. Now I’m down to 170lbs, at 21% body fat. My body just has completely re-comped. I am finally for the first time in my life at 42 getting this high level athlete look. I was recently told from an old BJJ training partner, that I had not seen in 2 years, told me that I look like BJJ competitor athletes. He absolutely did not recognize me before coming up to me. I feel awesome, I feel completely satisfied with food, and my life feels totally better in all aspects.
Listening to you guys keeps me on track! 'Exercise should be a life enhancing tool', this is so true! I often obsess too much over the details, making everything too complicated and losing so much time that i could spend living life. I am eighteen years old and have been struggling with eating disorders the past four years. Since May i have been focusing more on living life outside of fitness. Altough finding the right exercise routine is still a big struggle I feel like my life is improving day by day and i am starting to trust myself. (Thanks to you guys being extremely informative and real!!!) I am starting med school this month so i am very excited to keep on 'building' instead of 'breaking down' . Thank you for keeping me on track and always pushing me in the right direction.⬆⬆ Greetings from Belgium!!!
Mind Pump Yeah Dude!!
3 of my closest friends and me have at least one issue with all the topics you talked about today. Shared this episode with all 3 of them!
Love listening to y’all!
I love the dad tips i get from this
I started changing my “I can’t” voices to “I don’t want to” when it comes to eating certain foods for the exact reason y’all mentioned. It gave me more agency in the fact that I chose to avoid things that weren’t gonna serve me well and help build my body. It also helps build better self awareness like if I allow myself the food that I know isn’t great for me I can notice and be aware of the effects that has on my energy, mood, etc.
The methods and mindset of what not to do reminds me of David goggins who’s an absolute freak of nature
Consistently working out for 4 years. The trick for me was that I started to see exercise as an important step in self love and health. I see it similar to cleaning my teeth, it just has to be done. I have played sports competively and mostly lived a healthy life which I think helps too. From a mental health perspective I don't feel great when I don't work out. But despite hitting my protein targets I don't have huge muscles like some. I do cycle through phases of rep ranges and programs. I'm happy with my physique but now my focus is more about longevity and living optimally because I have maintained and improved my strength and mobility. I could try and force my body I suppose but I can't afford injury which will just take me further from my goals. But I struggle with overtraining and find it hard to train less than 5 days a week. I think because I was a high level gymnast I get away with it but at 46 I know I'd probably grow more if I did less
Time versus your body time always wins but time versus Chuck Norris’ body and boy time better be in for a fight
Love this channel! Relatable, science based information I can actually understand and utilize on my fitness journey 🏋️♂️🥰💪
When Sal says "Here's the deal" stop what you're doing cause some wisdom is on the way.
I was in the middle of my set when "Missouri is bringing back paddling...WHAT? SHUT UP, IM SO PRO THAT" 😂😂
Chapter 6, Page 47 😂
Great hearing stories about you guys upbringing. Alot of lessons and wisdom about life. You guys inspire me thankyou 💯
Recently found this channel! Love how your up front and honest. Will be 44 this year and just started working out 4 months ago. Too much garbage info out there. So thank you! Im that skinny guy who just never could gain weight.
Oh the scale! Going to toss it out the window and go more on how my clothes are fitting and even the good old tape measure.
Thanks for this episode! Was starting to head trip over the scale :)
Great episode. Wonder how often you guys talk about something and think “maybe we need to update our workout packs to incorporate more of that”
awesome podcast
Fitness is the foundation for a fulfilling life.
Daym I wanted to take advantage of the Labor day sale and load up on your MAPS programs. But the sale ended on 28 Aug - SIGH! Cmon guys the sale should be through Labor day. Extend the sale!!! I still love you guys - LOL.
Another great episode of MP
I just finished my first week of Anabolic. I’m making good use of my recently expanded home gym. I can’t wait to see the progress at the end.
Why is Greg doucette saying train harder. But these guys are saying go easier and easier. Don’t know who to believe. Leaning towards train harder than last time. Greg FTW!!
Goodluck you might over reach
Thanks guys!
Just had to say, I absolutely LOVE the new setup! Over the last year I can see you guys have made a ton of upgrades to your set, the mics, video editing, and probably more too. Favorite fitness podcast for sure 👌
Finally someone who approaches fitness from a healthy perspective! Please don't stop uploading videos guys! Your opinions are gold to me. It's not that I follow everything you say as a rule, but I highly value your ideas and incorporate your perspectives into my lifestyle. Thanks!
Great Podcast Guyzzz...Very important questions got covered indeed...Great advice as usual 🤜🤛...
Lesson learned: Lesser is sometimes more better.🔱🏋
I love alternatives. Like make quest cookies from protein bars and a waffle maker. Game changers are the best baby steps.
Just finished beating me up by training and now trying to recover. And listening to this... Thanks for a reminder! Will I ever learn? :D
I don’t think I’ve ever thought of education like that … I mean it’s so obvious what you’re saying just hit me so hard… if only they’d give it out like a regular loan!
finally, i’ve made it in time to comment before the first 24 hours! Maps anabolic, you’re mine 👀 long time subscriber
Hi guys. What time do you go live? I wanna watch live from Botswana, Africa. It’s challenging to keep up with the live shows. You guys are great and so inspiring 🙏🏾
I swear Sal’s dad must be Sebastian Maniscalco’s uncle 😂 I love him
I’ve been able to maintain and grow more muscle on only 2 days a week of training. In fact, the best gains and physique improvements I’ve ever had are happening on 2 workouts a week.
The idea that you need to go to the gym everyday and leave feeling exhausted to see results is dead wrong.
Love the show !
Awesome episode
I workout 6days per week, but my volume is optimal and my workout sessions are an hour long at the most which also includes warmup. Also at home i use trigger sessions. I also sleep minimum of 8 hrs and i undulate my calories being in a surplus on a weekly basis. I only hv maps anabolic, which i modify to a six day from 3 day.
Just found your podcast. Anonymous ago and just love it my favourite podcast in fitness and common sense. Thank you for your content helps sort through the fuzz on fitness
I always say, force the body into better shape. In other words, what I’m saying is; workout hard enough in your fitness level to stimulate the muscle and rebuild stronger, better and faster. If you don’t think “force” you’ll remain in your comfort zone.
Yeah I think they could of worded this better. More like ‘How overtraining keeps you from your goals’
@@bigpicturegains Awesome! Hope to see a comment from you on my channel. Take care my friend. 🙏
