Farmer walks changed my life. Food taste better. Fruit taste sweeter. Girls look prettier. Deadlifts move faster. I need that STRONG program!!!

Adding farmers walks blew up my frame. Underrated work out and I don’t know why it works but it works.

This episode should be played randomly at every gym. This should also be a required listen for membership to a gym or any team sport for high school student athletes. Best episode ever! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Just got back to working out the last month and a half. I'm LOVING it. I appreciate the podcast, and boys keep up the hard work.

[@TH-il8mn]

It can be hard when as a woman I get the side glances from guys and gals when I'm in a strength phase. I love the way I feel when I go heavy and I appreciate you normalizing strength for women in the gym.

[@GhettoPCbuilds]

lol what do you mean, just lift the weights why are you worried about strangers lol

[@saldistefanomaps]

Hell yea

[@TH-il8mn]

@@GhettoPCbuilds Oh, trust me, I just lift the weights. It's just uncomfortable when people stare. It interrupts my head space. I appreciate that the fellas always express positive views about women going heavy. They acknowledge it is a thing and help to normalize it. No one stands around gawking when a guy lifts heavy.

[@anishphi1]

It is great. I've been trying to get my wife to get off the treadmill and do compound lifts. Trying to change her mindset

[@TH-il8mn]

@@anishphi1 perhaps if she realized lifting my get her closer to her goals, she'd be willing to try it twice a week. If she just enjoys cardio because of the way it makes her feel, she might not give it up so easily. Maybe is she tried it and just "practiced the movements" as Sal would say, she might find it less intimidating and could work up from there.

[@Jazistheman]

Y’all stay dropping knowledge for free 🥲🙌🏼 Im studying for my CPT rn these podcasts have really been the backbone to me fully understanding what I’ll be experiencing and it makes me even more excited to get out there and start helping people 🤗🥰

I love this podcast!! It has totally changed my workout routine, so much that my brother-in-law started noticing a difference and asked me what I was doing and I just told him, “mind pump!” And now he is obsessed!!

[@PurposeDrivenPerformance]

Mind pump helped me discover my passion for fitness and further my knowledge to become a better trainer! I always tell my clients and friends to listen to podcast or tutorials for mobility. You guys have helped changed my life 🤘🏾

[@Kuya_yan]

I started listening to you guys a month ago and it has changed my perception of fitness and resistance training so much. In a past episode, you guys were talking about how important priming was so I bought MAPS prime... Instantly my bench press that day felt so much better I really wish I tried for a PR but I don't think bench has ever made me feel this good. Loving the content, loving the stories you guys tell. Keep up the great content guys!

[@jenniferwiens3053]

It was recommended to me to check you out and Magic Spoon cereals. I am absolutely hooked. I do a bootcamp class 5-6 days a week. I'm not good at creating programs for myself or guiding myself and pushing myself. I am so fortunate to have found you guys. You have changed my life

[@drewerson6393]

Life was shit..... from high school to adult life. Break ups, Lost friends, etc. people were just leaving my life as I focused on myself and it negatively effected me and had me in this wind down for years. Now i found you guys i have only been listening and watching for about 3 weeks now and the amount of content and knowledge that is spread across your videos some I even watched more then once too deepen that understanding of what you speak about! Now being 21 almost 22 here at the 30th of April, I'm happier then ever, mind focused and more positive, Less anxiety and depression episodes, and over all better attitude due to the workout and process I have made for myself to prime my body, working out. Off days I work on mobility and trigger session so even though I'm young and very unexperienced but with the knowledge you give us I have speed up my process greatly and always looking to learn more and do more!

[@Dailycarlovers1]

Starting the last phase of MAPS Aesthetic on Sunday! I got back into training after a year off. Did about 4 months on my own and saw minimal progress. Maps aesthetic has blown those 4 months out of the water! Just bought the bundle as well, looking forward to the next step! Love the podcast, thank you guys for everything.

[@adrienner5909]

I love lifting heavy and i naturally am drawn to that but thanks to listening to your podcast you all drill into our heads that we need to do other forms of resistance training. So now I’m doing performance which is a program i would’ve never done on my own.

[@leannebahuaudbradley569]

Thank you for helping me get out of my chronic cardio and circuits. I’m lifting properly, eating to fuel my training and finally seeing my body transform. I’m dying to try both Powerlift and Strong. What a great bundle!

[@jacobtirado4009]

Ive learned more from this podcast than I ever did from any class I ever took. I should get a mind pump certificate or something lol. Best content hands down💪🏽

[@Laura-sx3ju]

Perfect timing! Been stuck in a rut for way too long... I've weight trained almost 20 years now and although have lifted heavier side, never done a structured strength program. This girl would be willing to eat in a surplus and give this a try! Love all the great content guys.

As someone who just started lifting in February, using a 5x5 program and had to dial things back because I went to hard without perfecting form, I find this episode highly relatable and informative. Thanks guys!

[@nicholasmontoto9346]

5x5 almost fucked me up too , dialing back and working on mobility and form now . Only going hard occasionally .

[@johndonovan2743]

@@nicholasmontoto9346 I decided to switch to sumo deadlift because I realized I wasn't flexible enough to stay in form during conventional deadlifts. I'll revisit conventional once I've gotten more flexible.

[@iamabean]

Adapting is different from healing is another valuable and enlightening advice. This was the mistake I've made. I thought soreness was the sign of a good workout and I often beat myself up in training. I periodically felt tired and fatigue and now I know why . my body just heal and not adapt to the stress I put in .

[@crashgsxr750]

Squat, deadlift, bench press, OHP rinse repeat Biggest thing for me, learning to low bar squat

[@petermiller1565]

You also need to row, preferably a bent over variation. If the bent over variation becomes too fatiguing when used in conjunction with Deadlift, and Squat, then do an Inverted Row. Not rowing is a big mistake, and should be added to the movements you mentioned. Also, as an optional addition, weighted pull-ups, or at least body weight pull-ups can offer incredible benefits

[@crashgsxr750]

@@petermiller1565 agreed That being said: good mornings, RDL, Bulgarian splits, hamstring curls, etc... If I’ve learned anything it’s 3-5 weeks of training, de load, reprogram

[@petermiller1565]

@@crashgsxr750 It sounds like you know what you’re doing without my help. I just wanted to make sure you weren’t excluding rows since I’ve seen many lifters do themselves a disservice by becoming anterior dominant, which not only leads to strength imbalances, but also can lead to avoidable injuries
