Thank you for having Sal share his testimony. As a Christian struggling, this is really speaking to me. Thank you Father God for reaching out to me in an area where I falter, and I pray that You reach through this podcast to speak to those who are struggling with body image issues as well. I am so blessed to hear the growth in Sal, and it’s so inspiring. Praise God for all the He has done and what He continues to do. Praise Him.
Mr. Sal, God is going to use you to reach SOO many people and I am so excited to see the changes he is going to continue to make in you and your family.
Thank you to Sal for telling his story of him becoming a Christian. I’m sure it will inspire other people to speak about the power of God in their lives. I’m so happy for him🙏❤️
I watch Mindpump every day and love Sal! But this is the first I’ve heard his faith journey in full. I must say, as a long time Christian, you gave me new and impactful inspiration. My husband and I have never practiced prayer together and I went home today and told him that I’m ready to begin out loud prayer together. This is our FIRST out loud prayer together, even though we’ve both been Christians for years, and I can’t thank you enough for helping put this on my heart. Watching God’s plans for you unfold is so amazing. Thank you both for this episode. ❤️❤️
Extremely moving about how Christ worked through your story of your daughters health and the homeless man! Thanks Sal for speaking courageously about God in a present turn from Christ world.
Sal’s story about his daughter and his interaction with the homeless man brought me to tears. He has definitely encouraged me to work on my faith and my relationship with God 🥲🙏🏾❤
I am fascinated with this. I was also 14 years old when I touched my first weights. My mom had a weight bench in our basement. I loved how it felt both physically and emotionally. It felt like I was taking more control of my life. I was also insecure at a young age. About a year later I became a Christian living with my father and stepmother. I am also very growth oriented, always reading and learning. I am delighted to hear his testimony. That CS Lewis book is very good.
I came here looking for something... but by the end I came away with so much more... this message is exactly what I needed right now in my life... there are no coincidences.
I appreciate the testimony within the interview. Love that you said there’s been a shift in people talking about their faith openly without being afraid of it ruining their viewership.
Very nice interview and an excellent interviewer asking good questions. Sal is doing more for most men when openly discussing his struggles. God bless you and keep guiding you. You are a good example for the lost and for whom they need to find Jesus. Christ is KING.
Thank you, Sal, for your awesome testimony! It benefits not only unbelievers or people on the fence but also re-emphasizes and renews faith in fellow Christians who have to focus on what their priorities should be and that's trusting and loving Jesus with everything we have. Thank you!❤
Thank you, Sal, for sharing your personal story about your daughter and growing faith in God. It was very touching 🥲 I really appreciate the wisdom you share on getting healthier and losing fat, the transition into your amazing story about faith made this the best RUclips video I've listened to in quite a while. Thank you for leading this conversation towards such an important topic. You are helping people with your channel ❤
I love how the guys always advocate for getting more steps in with easy tweaks. If you’re in an office, try this: walk quickly around the building, staring at a clipboard or iPad with a worried expression on your face, murmuring “no… that can’t be right… but if we…” You’ll get your steps in AND people will think you’re working on a very important, difficult project.
Thank you Doug for this great interview. Sal you are awesome, thank you for sharing the private things about your faith and your daughter. God truly is beautiful 💖
Yeah I just finally got the hang of caloric deficit. All those diets are crap, just actually pay attention to the calories, carbs, sugar, protein, and sodium (more things matter but I focused on those), stop touching ALL fast food (the lowest calorie McDonald’s meal will still put you 2x over even a homemade burger and fries). Just pay attention to the nutrition. Eat whatever you want but don’t eat too much of one thing. Not too much carbs and sugar especially. If you fuck up and have a soda, don’t worry abt it but skip the slice of cake after dinner. Rice and pasta are sneaky carbs. Google a nutrition calculator, be honest abt how much you work out and your current weight. Look at yourself in the mirror EVERY single day and think abt 1 thing you want to improve and one thing you already like abt your body. It won’t change for a while but just keep doing these things and it adds up. And the harder you try the faster you’ll see results. The real important part is to not beat urself up or listen to others. Every time you fuck up just say “I didn’t fuck up the whole day, I can just take a long walk and have a healthier dish for my next meal.” And COMMIT TO IT. That helped me hopefully it helps someone else!!!
And if you work out even just 30 minutes a couple days of the week this becomes way easier. I realized the harder you work out you also can get away with a few more snacks/higher calorie meals. Makes it easier and you will also gain more muscle like they said. Cardio really helps and you don’t have to run you can just jog or walk really slowly. Anything is better than sitting on the couch!!!!
59 …. Went from 192lb to 175 stuck there ….. I walk 30 min a day 70% heart rate fat burning 7 days a week and weight train light high rep 6 days a week Chest - back -arms day off repeat Am I over working ?
Amen 🙏 Sal not only are you changing lives with fitness but also with your faith! May God give you so much glory and courage to keep spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ 😊
Wow,thank you so much for this interview!!! I love Sal and his honesty,compassion !! Thank you so much for asking him about his faith. I too am very similar to sal in a lot of ways,I don't post many comments but i had to show my appreciation and love for this interview. I also shared this with a friend who may need this. Thanks again much love and respect Raymond.
Sal - thank you so much for sharing your testimony, and Doug, thank you for enabling it! I love your courage and LOVE finding God in places where I was not expecting to find Him. His kindnesses overwhelm me. Thank you, thank you, thank you...see you in heaven!
Former D1 Semi rugby player here. Body weight workouts Push/ Pull super sets hitting major and then minors Abductors & Adductors helped with cuts while running/ quick hip/ position switch Sprints Heavy/ strength training, HIIT, and rucks were amazing.
I did not expect the spiritual shift of this podcast 🥹🥹✝️✝️ I found it heartwarming and another reminder/calling to work on my faith. I forget the power of prayer 🙏. God communicates to us in unexpected ways. Love this ❤
Learning a lot from you guys & getting out of the restriction diet I have followed for so long & ate such little protein.. 2 weeks on a 100g day protein diet. Hard but worth it - Thankyou for all your knowledge ❤️❤️❤️
That wasn’t god that made you change that was you believing in yourself, that made you change, if you believe into something, that gives you hope, it doesn’t matter what it is as long as you believe, in which you did, good for you in that change.
I see too many young guys in the gym whom are fresh to lifting/exercise. Thoughts on starting with the big 5, Russian 5x5 ? Easy to follow. Builds strength. Then progress to hypertrophy after a 12-16week 5x5. I know nasm strength stability, endurance, and hypertrophy come first, but since this kids want nothing but to get strong and jacked, I feel this is a great way to bridge the gap for a great start with them.
Once you consistently read the word of God, you will never be the same. It’s a beautiful humbling transforming thing. Many of us don’t experience this until older age, unfortunately.
So I am a soccer player and always have been. However im 30 now and I have been lifting and eating right for 10 months now. I jave been gaining a good amount of muscle. I really want ro start running though and want to play soccer again. Is there any way to run every day to get in soccer shape and still gain muscle? Will I jave to eat extra protein? How much?
52:00 you prayed to God to tell you what to do. On the way to an appointment. You get to the doctors office and they say you are there by Mistake, you don't have an appointment for that day. That was your first response from God . The second was the homeless man. Often times we get a sign or an answer but we didn't register the answer. Until it's almost being shouted at us 59:43 Free will. People have free will. That's why things happen Good and bad. Sometimes bad things happen to move us because we didn't get the direction the first time
Praise God!!! And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelations 12 vs 11
@@AdminOne-hj4dt so your response to someone saying they didn't appreciate getting click-bait thinking they are watching a video on exercise and you spend 45 minutes talking about church, is go elsewhere. Fine, dude, but I'll report the video for misleading content before I unsubscribe. What a jerk. Guess your interview personality is different from your actual personality.
So your response to someone saying they didn't appreciate the click-bait advertising of building muscle and getting lean, and then have over half the show about Christian rhetoric is find another channel. I guess I'll report this as misleading thumbnail text, but before I unsubscribe and block the channel. Christianity isn't the only religion out there, and there a lot of people who don't want that crap shoved down their throat. You're turning off millions and millions of people when you do that. I'm actually a christian, but I don't want to listen to it when I'm in the mood for learning about my body and health. Just like I'd complain if I watched a video advertsing religous stuff and then they started talking about how to get the best gains in the gym. A better title for your video might be how to get great gains in the gym and find the Christian God while you do it.
Thank you for having Sal share his testimony. As a Christian struggling, this is really speaking to me. Thank you Father God for reaching out to me in an area where I falter, and I pray that You reach through this podcast to speak to those who are struggling with body image issues as well.

He can bring the horse to the pond but he can't make it drink
Wow, I was not expecting to hear a powerful testimony of Christ when tuning into this. Praise God!
I stopped watching when he started with the Jesus bs. I come for the fitness let's stay on topic.
Yes indeed not expecting this and will now subscribe because of it, how could i not lol

It's really getting hard to watch you any more. Best way to lose body fat... And 45 minutes is Christian rhetoric.
