The only acceptable lift before doing compound lifts is to lift your laptop screen or phone to get in the zone with Mind Pump! Absolute best podcast in the health, fitness, and entertainment space. Thanks for bringing us your best every episode.
Agreed! I just mentioned yesterday how I e learned so much from these guys and how much weight I’ve lost since finding these guys. They are truly the best
The ways you guys answered Brooks question was phenominal. You showed so much depth of knowlege as well as compassion. I have grown to really look forward to the Q and A part of your show, even though they rarely relate to me or my situation. It's still really interesting to watch you guys work through their challenges and come up with a solid path forward. Thanks again for the great content.
So glad to see that society is finally recognizing the overall benefits of resistance training. I think that you guys have played a part in that. I hear it in every caller and even within myself. You have helped our lives for the better. I thank you and my family thanks you.
I was about to ego lift in the gym yesterday when you guys voice came into my head and made me lower the weight and focused on doing some good quality reps
Y'all have really changed my life. I've stuck with my fitness journey for 2.5 years now, instead of exercising and dieting on and off like years prior. I don't diet, I eat healthy and have been trying to eat more calories since I strength train. I love y'all programs. I have learned a lot from y'all with fitness, things going on in the world, and life period. Y'all are funny and make me laugh
I've noticed this so many times over the past year listening to this podcast: The thing about Mind Pump is that these 3 humans won't just tell you about practical (actionable) knowledge you can apply to your workout routine (my entire routine which I've designed is based on knowledge gained from this podcast over the past 12 months). Yes, every episode will have its focus in the first 8-15 mins, and then it's a free for all. They'll talk about life, the big things happening in the world, their experiences as fathers and family-men... I think this is why we all love this podcast so much. We come here for the fitness aspect. But we stay for the life force these 4 men exude in every single episode. It's beautiful.
Thanks fellas! It’s crazy that topics always come up on the show like exactly when I need to hear them. I have a 5 year old daughter a 3 year old son and a 4 month old son and I really enjoy when you guys talk about parenting. And I will for sure be practicing some of the stuff you talked about today when it comes to tantrums and helping my children learn coping skills. And since you all know that I have zero free time and I basically have no friends because I have 3 kids, thanks for being there and being the only people I can talk to about my fitness journey and the struggles and stuff that come along with it. Appreciate the content and the company while I’m at work grinding for my family.
Morning mind pump brothers! I did a nutrition consultation 6 weeks ago at college for a personal trainer that can't seem to put any muscle on. As well as sending him off with a dietary plan, I suggested some things that I learned from listening to you guys, and also gave him access to my Maps Anabolic program for 6 weeks for him to follow as he was doing way too much. I have a follow up with him in 2 weeks and look forward to his feedback. Listening to you guys gave me the confidence to articulate to a personal trainer what I believe he needed. So grateful for you guys. Have a blessed day lads 👊🏼💪🏼🙏🏼.
Caller 1: I’ve tried the locks, moving the food to the garage or trigger food out of the house entirely, habit apps, trackers, having my husband hold me accountable. I think the craziest thing I’ve tried is i put a bell on the bedroom door so he’d wake up if i tried to leave the bedroom, in the effort to put a barrier there. Put chairs in the way of the kitchen doorway. My sister has this condition too. When i try the hardest to not do it and when stress levels are the highest , it’s the worst. Sal your advice is the best I’ve heard and that’s saying a lot. Journaling will be very hard. Very very very hard. But Brooke if you’re reading this, please try their suggestions. You’re 22 and open about this, trust me that’s huge. I’m going to try this too. You can get a grip on this if you get to the root cause. I’m 36 and I’ve dealt with this since probably my late teens. I’ve always “gotten away with it” due to a faster metabolism but it’s slowing with age. People would brush off my struggle because i wasn’t overweight- they didn’t know i felt out of control, i never got a full nights sleep, i had to know i had snacks whenever i stayed at a hotel or at someone else’s house. I’m just NOW at a point where I’m making slow steps to improve my relationship with food. 32 year old you will thank you so much… it got much harder when i had to get up with my babies to breastfeed or up with a sick child once i had a family, and keeping foods my husband and sons like in the house. Guys, keep up the great work. You impressed me in a new way with this podcast. I enjoyed anabolic, and finally got off that chronic cardio type bulimia last year. Just started doing more mobility with MAPS performance and I’ve noticed the explosive movements force me into proper form and im curious to test it out back in anabolic now 🤣 Keep it up and thanks for the constant free content!!
Strength training getting it's due credit in mainstream media is one of the best news I heard. Its important for people to understand that all form of exercises are good but strength training tops them all because of the no. Of benefits attached to it.
I just want to say thank you guys. I am about finish my first full year of consistent resistance training. I was always a 3-4 month on 6 month off gym goer. I understand now I can adjust a workout schedule to (even short workouts) to my life. I have never been this strong but I really love the mental aspects of resistance training. I have two of your programs and they have helped me tremendously. I look forward to the next one I get. I really wish I could express gratitude for all the great things that has come from me learning from your content. I’m sure you have millions telling you thank you everyday but I genuinely mean it. I look up to you guys as the type of father i aspire to be. Another comment lost in the mix probably but I wanted to express a sentimental one this time.
Love how the boys keep keeping it real. These live caller questions were fire! 🔥🔥 Boys were on point and not afraid of calling out on some of their caller's own "BS" (with all due respect) making them really have some introspection. Amazing. Works on all of us!
Great episode again guys. On the topic of isolation before compound I used to do hamstrings before a squat just to get them triggered and ready to go. I found this helped immensely to improve my technique and posture.
More than anything, what I get from MindPump is that what we need is to roll nutritionists, trainers, and life coaches all into one career path. Over specializing has made health and fitness so much harder to navigate over the last few decades.
Something that helped me to stop bingeing was getting an intermittent fasting app, and changing the settings so there is an icon on the top bar of my phone and a banner on my locked screen. But seeing that icon is reinforcement, that trigger I need to know it's not my feeding window. It's like writing down your workout or meal plan versus just thinking what you want to do. It's a tool to help me structure my thoughts so I have a clear roadmap on how to reach my goals. I hope that women can get the help she needs.
I found you last year.. 20 years too late, but I am grateful. For now, every day, I feel like I'm learning and winning both mentally and physically. So, thank you MP.
Been lifting on and off since my late teens. Now at the age of a young 43 year old man, i have to say that the trigger session are absolute game changer!
I REALLY need a program. I’m 38 years old, been through lots of weight loss and regain over the years. It’s gotten harder to control as I continue to get older in terms of losing fat. I’ve done every diet, keto, vegan, vegetarian, carnivore. Gluten free- i lack structure. I’m strong, can build muscle pretty easy, but my results are not what I want them to be for fat loss😢 love the show!
Appreciate all your knowledge and advice, Listening to you every morning is KEY to a good day👌🏼 winning MAPS programme would be a dream for my strength goals💪🏼
Morning routine , 2 whole eggs , 4 egg whites, some cheeses a coffee and the best fitness and lifestyles podcast ever , and thanks to you I always prepare my bench sessions with some rows 👀🔝💪🏼
I feel blessed to have been in athletics as a young man, where they focused on bench, squat, power clean, shoulder press, etc… you can build a PHENOMENAL physique by just focusing on these major compound lifts 3-4 times a week. Just remember to always focus on form and muscle connection over the ego lifting. Happy lifting, y’all!
I did compound lifts at the start of my workouts for the first 3ish years of my training but never really 'felt' it properly, so I ended up doing exactly what Adam said and eliminated them completely for more isolation movements for the next 2-3 years. Then I started to understand more about the benefits of compound movements so I decided to really focus on doing them again and properly, the progress in my physique even after all that time training was insane!
My typical workout starts with Cleans, full, hang, and power, 3x5. then a compound lift variation of the squat, deadlift, and press 5x5. then 3 axillary exercise 15x4, 2abs followed by a run. I do this 3 times per week. It works @mindpump you lads are awesome. I really appreciate your channel
MINDPUMP!!! You guys literally get me through every single day! I don’t remember the last time I wasn’t listening to one of your podcasts throughout the day. I’ve laughed a ton and learned SO MUCH from all of you. Seriously, all of your knowledge and passion and ability to entertain while informing is something rare and special!! So much love to you guys!!!!❤
Haha I wish I could use all this info to try and convince my sister that strength training is the best option for overall health and weight loss, but unfortunately no amount will convince her for now. Guess I need to implement y'all's programs, lose some weight and when she asks what I did I can just point her in your direction. Wish more people would listen to y'all!
New to strength training! Starting to struggle with exercise and body composition due to the start of “the change”! Lol! Focusing on strength and muscle building to help me navigate through the new phase of life! Love listening to your podcast for quality information!!!!😊
At my YMCA they got rid of half the treadmill and 75% of the bikes and we added an extra bench, a power rack, a deadlift platform, and a few other isolation machines needless to say I'm loving the renovations
I loved swim in highschool , and my sister did band. But what we really found a huge passion in was FFA and 4h. That is a great thing to get your child involved in. It teached us responsibility and so many other things. I definitely recommend those programs if your kids aren't huge into sports. Love this show, thanks guys!
I had the exact same problem as caller one. Sal's advice about not focusing on calories is spot on. I use the whole, natural food strategy and it has helped me tremendously.
Hey hey hey guys back of the 60 year olds ! man that hurt my feelings here I am 59 and running maps split like a champ and you all got jokes about 60 year olds doing some Macarena dance 😂
Stumbled on you guys about four months ago and subscribed. You guys are so in depth with the information you are providing, I really appreciate all the advice, this episode hit home for me and cannot thank you enough how you meticulously answered the questions and with such empathy. Thank you, Thank you Mind Pump team.
I am going through MAPS Anabolic for the second time now. Always love starting the workout with a squat or deadlift - gets and keeps me going for the rest of it!
I've gotten to the level of consistency with watching you guys, I'm now at the level of making friendships because they also regularly listen. Hopefully that will evolve to having more friends to run MAPS programs with 💪
You guys always seem to read my mind. I just started doing 100 body weight hip thrusts as a leg day warm up, and I've never felt my glutes more during compound lifts.
So many good points! I found the eating info helpful and noticing stress levels even when we may not “feel it”. Always hidden gems in every episode! ⭐️
I do need to work on compound lifts. I tend to do my favorite exercises, and I know my technique isn't perfect. Thank you for sharing your wisdom! I would loooove MAPS Anabolic Advanced. 😃
I fell like I’ve usually had trouble connecting my glutes on squats & deadlifts so I incorporated a fairly heavy hip thrust this morning and I was much more confident & comfortable with my deadlifts. Great cue today, thanks!
How awesome is it to see gyms making changes to accommodate more strength training equipment!! I’m quickly becoming an evangelist for lifting. I have come to love it so much and have seen incredible progress by following your programs!
I agree with doing the big compound exercises first but if you do technical exercises eg snatch, power snatch, clean and power clean as well as the jerk, they should come first. That's if people utilise those exercises. I generally use 3 main exercises than add a few for Rotator Cuff or arms etc. One routine I did for along time was Power Clean Back SQUAT Bench Press. If I wanted to annihilate my back I just keep adding weight to the bar but change exercises so - Power Snatch Power Clean Clean High Pulls Dead Lifts Heavy DBRows I'd be f____d and sore for days.
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
Great episode, I am trying to build some muscle after listening to you for few months, doing less cardio and focusing on strength training, thank you for all the tips.
Darn the first question on night eating was something I would have loved a definitive answer. I didn't realize other people had this same experience. I struggle with this so bad. I have security cameras in my house and I caught myself sleep walk eating 2 inches away from the TV screen eating a cereal bowl with my eyes closed 😂. I showed my wife and its creepy as hell. Sometimes I wake up in bed there is granola bar wrappers and I'm like nooo I did it again. I have no memory of eating the food. Now that I know this is a real thing I'll try and seek some help. Thanks, glad to know I'm not the only one.😅
Such a good video. I feel crossovers and struggle with feeling bench. I feel lat pull downs but struggle with feeling pull ups. An activation set is a game changer. It's like I needed permission
Awwsome show as always guys!🤟 The star of the show though was Brook! Thank you so much Brook for sharing your struggle! Hope you will find help and solve your problem, best of luck, you got this!✌️
Another awesome video. Great advice! One of the things I like to do is do a warm up set of the compound exercises with just the bar so I can try to get my mind right and use resistant bands. I intend to try switching things up with some of these things too!!
It's so interesting that compound movements first has been the common knowledge for years and yet in college I was doing seated leg extensions and leg curls before squatting 🤪
CNN article is spot on. I only did cardio classes and equipment for years. It was a recent weight class that got me to start focusing on resistance training. Now I enjoy weights and resistance training way more than cardio.
Every morning at wake up waiting to your new video release! After to listen to you guys I can't wait until afternoon to go workout! PS: Happy to listen this new trend in gyms 🤘
I love hearing your different parenting techniques! I’m getting married this year and we’re so excited to start a family but I have so many concerns with how to raise a child as I’ve never had one before lol
I hope with the trend towards resistance training, gyms will start adding more squat racks. I can run a full MAPS workout in a squat rack when they're available. I dont think existing gyms have made this change yet, and too many times, any time of day, somebody is using them and have to pivot to iso exercises before compounds.
I do have some feedback on the night time eating. Not saying this is true in this case but, it doesn't mean it's disordered eating. I remember something way back when I was struggling with similar things before addressing the primary issues. It could be related to gut bacteria that are sending signals to crave certain types of foods that it craves when you're at your weakest. Like you try and avoid them all day. You have no problems avoiding it but, when you're tired or feeling run down or not at your peak willpower, those cravings sneak in. Something about how the brain/gut connection that triggers you to crave certain foods. It doesn't mean it's disordered. And just because you've had disordered eating in the past doesn't mean that's what it is now. Sometimes, simply knowing it is your gut wanting foods to feed the bacteria in your gut can be enough to calm it down with some water, maybe some electrolytes or something, and get back to sleep. I would have recommended working with their connection that does the gut tests as well as the therapy portion. Doesn't hurt to try both angles. Could be just a small dietary intake change that helps resolve it and then therapy to process what that means to you.
Yeah I've def been driving multiple cars with just a pipe stuck in there where the converter used to be😄. Check engine light never goes off anymore, but it's fine
I've been listening to your channel for a month now. Thank you for wonderful informations that I have learned from your channel. I took some notes while listening at work and make my day gone by faster. Also remind me to move at break time. I've been lifting on and off and I've gain good muscle tone. Especially on my upper body without using any drugs but I have never had following any program. I would like to win your program. Please considering me. Thank you for your acknowledged on your channel.
46:51 this eating disorder has resonated with me as well. These suggestions are definitely hitting home… I’ve been looking for someone who offers ketimine therapy. ❤ ….they don’t in BC Canada 🇨🇦 😢

The empathy Sal shows to Brooke the first live caller is one of the many things that makes him remarkable.
I struggle with the same condition and have never heard it on this show but he handled it beautifully
Thanks fellas! It’s crazy that topics always come up on the show like exactly when I need to hear them.

I’m running anabolic advanced currently, I’m sooooo sore. I’m also addicted to your programs. I have 90% of them. The most legit programs I’ve used.

Mind Pump has changed my life and I am now getting my whole family in on MAPS programs
Which one are you doing? I’m doing MAPS Powerlift and I thoroughly enjoy it.

Thank God for this podcast. Always gives me what I need to get back on track when new life circumstances change my training routine.
I sit through RUclips’s ads just to watch/listen to these episodes. Cheers for the content. 👌🏽
We definitely need more content like Mr. Rogers today.
loving the new program !!

You guys are literal ANGELS, started training in home clients this week and you’ve taught me so much through these episodes!
Starting year two with mind pump! Loving all that I'm learning!

Just remember to always focus on form and muscle connection over the ego lifting. Happy lifting, y’all!
I like the it depends answers. Nuance doesn't often sell, so I really enjoy that you don't care about that and have a nuanced conversation anyway.
I did compound lifts at the start of my workouts for the first 3ish years of my training but never really 'felt' it properly, so I ended up doing exactly what Adam said and eliminated them completely for more isolation movements for the next 2-3 years.

At my YMCA they got rid of half the treadmill and 75% of the bikes and we added an extra bench, a power rack, a deadlift platform, and a few other isolation machines needless to say I'm loving the renovations
Love you guys! Binging the mind pump podcast for 2 months now and I’m on episode 180👏🏼👏🏼

I am going through MAPS Anabolic for the second time now. Always love starting the workout with a squat or deadlift - gets and keeps me going for the rest of it!
Love the way Sal snuck in his book title with that gym article. Slick!
Love all the information coming my way! I've learned that regardless of the title, there is always a little something new to pick up along the way.
Listening to the podcast while doing my Bench Press. The best motivation!!!:) Greetings from Spain
Loving the podcast on my ride into work each day. Thanks for all the insight and motivation.
Deff going to need some of those greens for me and my teens!! Day two of giving my boys a healthy breakfast!! Family goals.
I've gotten to the level of consistency with watching you guys, I'm now at the level of making friendships because they also regularly listen. Hopefully that will evolve to having more friends to run MAPS programs with 💪
You guys always seem to read my mind. I just started doing 100 body weight hip thrusts as a leg day warm up, and I've never felt my glutes more during compound lifts.
Love the show. I can't wait to try the new program
Thanks for consistently good fit tips!
So many good points! I found the eating info helpful and noticing stress levels even when we may not “feel it”. Always hidden gems in every episode! ⭐️
I learned the technique of pre exhaustion but have only applied it a few times. Another tool in the arsenal!
I do need to work on compound lifts. I tend to do my favorite exercises, and I know my technique isn't perfect. Thank you for sharing your wisdom! I would loooove MAPS Anabolic Advanced. 😃
Heyy been hearing you guys everyday for a long time now and i'd rly love to start doing one of your programs
I fell like I’ve usually had trouble connecting my glutes on squats & deadlifts so I incorporated a fairly heavy hip thrust this morning and I was much more confident & comfortable with my deadlifts. Great cue today, thanks!
How awesome is it to see gyms making changes to accommodate more strength training equipment!! I’m quickly becoming an evangelist for lifting. I have come to love it so much and have seen incredible progress by following your programs!
Mind Pump Yeah Dude!!
Mind pump for the Win!
I’m on week 2 of Anabolic Advanced and I am loving it so much! Greta jobs y’all thanks so much!!
I agree with doing the big compound exercises first but if you do technical exercises eg snatch, power snatch, clean and power clean as well as the jerk, they should come first. That's if people utilise those exercises.
I generally use 3 main exercises than add a few for Rotator Cuff or arms etc. One routine I did for along time was
Power Clean
Back SQUAT
Bench Press.
If I wanted to annihilate my back I just keep adding weight to the bar but change exercises so -
Power Snatch
Power Clean
Clean High Pulls
Dead Lifts
Heavy DBRows
I'd be f____d and sore for days.
I love this podcast and you guys! I have been learning so much the last few months. Thank you!

I’ve found that light weight smith machine good mornings really help get my low bar squat form refreshed and ready to go for some heavy training
Thanks for this info. I think I'm gonna try and add some isolation moves especially for quads and glutes. Take care guys!
You guys talk about so much real life ish thank yall always. Gains bro!
Great episode, I am trying to build some muscle after listening to you for few months, doing less cardio and focusing on strength training, thank you for all the tips.
Cool episode
Really looking forward to more masterclasses too
Awesome show again guys
Darn the first question on night eating was something I would have loved a definitive answer. I didn't realize other people had this same experience. I struggle with this so bad. I have security cameras in my house and I caught myself sleep walk eating 2 inches away from the TV screen eating a cereal bowl with my eyes closed 😂. I showed my wife and its creepy as hell. Sometimes I wake up in bed there is granola bar wrappers and I'm like nooo I did it again. I have no memory of eating the food. Now that I know this is a real thing I'll try and seek some help. Thanks, glad to know I'm not the only one.😅
Such a good video. I feel crossovers and struggle with feeling bench. I feel lat pull downs but struggle with feeling pull ups. An activation set is a game changer. It's like I needed permission
Another great episode 👏 👌 🙌
Awwsome show as always guys!🤟
The star of the show though was Brook! Thank you so much Brook for sharing your struggle! Hope you will find help and solve your problem, best of luck, you got this!✌️
Another awesome video. Great advice! One of the things I like to do is do a warm up set of the compound exercises with just the bar so I can try to get my mind right and use resistant bands. I intend to try switching things up with some of these things too!!
It's so interesting that compound movements first has been the common knowledge for years and yet in college I was doing seated leg extensions and leg curls before squatting 🤪
CNN article is spot on. I only did cardio classes and equipment for years. It was a recent weight class that got me to start focusing on resistance training.
Now I enjoy weights and resistance training way more than cardio.
Going to Prioritize compound lifts now. Thanks guys!
Great show, looking forward to the new programme,will help me reach my weight loss goal , keep up the good work guys! Subscribed!
Every morning at wake up waiting to your new video release! After to listen to you guys I can't wait until afternoon to go workout! PS: Happy to listen this new trend in gyms 🤘
I love hearing your different parenting techniques! I’m getting married this year and we’re so excited to start a family but I have so many concerns with how to raise a child as I’ve never had one before lol
I hope with the trend towards resistance training, gyms will start adding more squat racks. I can run a full MAPS workout in a squat rack when they're available. I dont think existing gyms have made this change yet, and too many times, any time of day, somebody is using them and have to pivot to iso exercises before compounds.
Yes. My lifetime had 5 squat racks. They’ve added 6 more ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I do have some feedback on the night time eating. Not saying this is true in this case but, it doesn't mean it's disordered eating. I remember something way back when I was struggling with similar things before addressing the primary issues. It could be related to gut bacteria that are sending signals to crave certain types of foods that it craves when you're at your weakest. Like you try and avoid them all day. You have no problems avoiding it but, when you're tired or feeling run down or not at your peak willpower, those cravings sneak in. Something about how the brain/gut connection that triggers you to crave certain foods.
It doesn't mean it's disordered. And just because you've had disordered eating in the past doesn't mean that's what it is now. Sometimes, simply knowing it is your gut wanting foods to feed the bacteria in your gut can be enough to calm it down with some water, maybe some electrolytes or something, and get back to sleep. I would have recommended working with their connection that does the gut tests as well as the therapy portion. Doesn't hurt to try both angles. Could be just a small dietary intake change that helps resolve it and then therapy to process what that means to you.
You guys STAY predicting things. All the more reason to listen!
Yeah I've def been driving multiple cars with just a pipe stuck in there where the converter used to be😄. Check engine light never goes off anymore, but it's fine
Thanks for the great info guys.
Love this show!!
Speaking about Mr Rogers. We have our kids watch Danielle Tiger which is like a spin off. It’s great and teaches a lot of those lessons.
Usually on my push days, I start with chest fly, then go to bench, so I feel my pecs more during bench.
I've been listening to your channel for a month now. Thank you for wonderful informations that I have learned from your channel. I took some notes while listening at work and make my day gone by faster. Also remind me to move at break time. I've been lifting on and off and I've gain good muscle tone. Especially on my upper body without using any drugs but I have never had following any program. I would like to win your program. Please considering me. Thank you for your acknowledged on your channel.
46:51 this eating disorder has resonated with me as well. These suggestions are definitely hitting home… I’ve been looking for someone who offers ketimine therapy. ❤ ….they don’t in BC Canada 🇨🇦 😢
Great show 👍
Trying to get the garage set up for a home gym.. thinking anabolic would be a good start!
I'm going to have start my chest days with flies or machine chest presses before moving to bench press.
