I was anorexic when I found mind pump. The first Jason Phillips episode and Jordan shallow episodes inspired me to gain weight. 70 pounds and a powerlifting meet later, I’m kicking ass and healthy again, and have been able to join the navy because I’m at a healthy weight

[@manvendranarula7584]

New fan of the show. I'm 6'0", 27 years old, and 113 KG. I've lost 30kg twice before with just cardio and cutting, but never could keep if off long term. I just started lifting, and I hope I can carry the habit through. Your show has been a great source of inspiration. grattitudes to you guys, and the production staff.

Been seriously thinking about this program forever that sale is amazing ,good luck to everyone.

[@Samuel220294]

This is the best episode of Mind Pump that I ever seen since I followed you I followed you on KZbin It's really stressful and it's a long journey when you're dieting. The amazing thing about this episode is that not only shows me what are my mistakes in my journey but also at the same time gives me motivation to push forward to accomplish my goals in the more realistic and balanced way because this process has to be at the end of the day something that you have to enjoy

[@christopherhood5887]

Great episode, Adam is killing it with his mind games and behavior tips, understanding how people think and look at problems and goals, love the integrity of Justin and his company. The world needs more of this, good simple tips but given in a way that really touch home. Great job guys.

[@artsybirdy]

I first got into weightlifting and your podcast 4 years ago when I was a beginner! Solid info and always recommend you guys to people who want to take care of their health and have a good laugh! Love y’all 👏

[@FormlessJKD17]

I'm turning 43 next month and just started listening and subscribed to you guys a 2 months ago and all of your advice and podcasts have helped me so far. I would love to accelerate my progress and finally achieve my best self before summer or even spring. You guys keep it real. Thank you to all!!!

[@TH-il8mn]

Always good to hear from Jason! Thanks for continuing to bring him on. Love the ongoing conversation about how psychology plays into diet behavior and can trump scientific studies. We don't live in a lab and everyone benefits from understanding their own mental connections to eating and food.

[@josephhales8054]

Every day I listen to you guys and literally when im having questions or second guessing myself on my weightloss journey you are there for me when nobody else is. I can say that you are impacting me and how I attack my days to lay a solid foundation for me and my kids future. These episodes are changing my life and im finally leading by example rather than just saying it. I hope to one day talk to you all in person or on the podcast in sharing my journey and how I want to change the health and fitness industry.

This is what I wanna try. Been following you all for a while now and the knowledge base in-between the 3 of you is wild. Keep doing what you are doing!

I’m 45 years young (haha) I have decided to get back into shape. I have a home gym. I seen you guys on KZbin and started following and also listening to your podcast on lunch breaks at work. I love your content and dedication to giving people great and correct advice with no bs. I started following you MAPS Anabolic that you put out on KZbin the first five days and I love that a busy professional can get this done. Great job guys!

[@maryssaann]

I’m a nutrition junkie! I love working out but the ins and outs of nutrition and the science behind it is my happy place. Love what you all do, keep up the great info and relevant conversations 🙌🏻

[@xxbigfishxx123]

My comment - been listening to the show for about 4 months now. Every day during lunch I watch the clips to get my mind off work and prepare myself for afternoon workout. Listening to mind pump has not only changed my thought and led me to re think my training BUT also my fiancé. We have been together for 10 years, and she has maybe worked out 5 times during that (not good). I have tried talking to her about it multiple times but obviously, sore subject. I always have the pod going in the car and she enjoys the intro session when y’all are just shooting the shit so much, that she has started to listen and recently she has re thought her lifestyle and is now playing a MASSIVE emphasis on lifestyle, diet, and training. I’ve got a home gym and now she begs me to workout! Y’all have changed her outlook on working out and made her realize the important. Thank you for all you do.

[@tiffanyanne4379]

I just started listening to you guys. 🙏🏼✌🏼I love the show. Keep on feeding me that nutritional knowledge

[@heather-jobulloch2200]

I love MindPump! I’ve never listened to podcasts before. I’ve always just walked, or jogged with music but I feel like I’m bettering myself listening to all this great info. It inspires me to research more, change my mindset and of course run/walk longer to hear the whole show!

[@MetalKnightMFR]

I love your content. It is serious quality, especially considering how much garbage is on youtube. I went from 330lbs to 230lbs in about a year with a lot of help from your advice. Thank you so much! You guys changed my life.

This was I episode I’ve been waiting for, I recently purchased maps anabolic and know with the knowledge I got from this episode I just know my results will be amazing. Thank you for always tapping in on every aspect when it comes to fitness. Never in a million years would I have thought that my sleeping habit would be the reason why I quit seeing progress. THANK YOU 🙏🏼

[@Peter-ts4hs]

you guys are so dope. just found you guys and have been binging all your vids this past week. helped change my training mindset w so much good info. thank you!

[@danidaggett]

I’ve recently started listening to you fellas and I’ve learned so much. I’m a novice and have hit a concrete wall in my weight/fat loss and lifting progression. Still watching food. Still consistently working out and lifting. But i feel like NOTHING is changing. It only took me about 100 times of hearing Adam say “we’re gonna add. We’re gonna eat more calories” to finally listen. 🤦🏼‍♀️ So here I go with adding some calories back in. 🤞🏻

[@user-dy7yt8xi4o]

Great tips as usual guys. Loving the addition of Jason in this conversation as well, you should invite him more often! Regarding the tips, you guys are absolutely correct on the tip regarding the 'falling of the wagon' when the weekend comes around. I've noticed that i'm way more likely to hit my goals when i've got my weekend diet in check. With that in mind, the current lockdown of my country (the Netherlands) is kind off a blessing in disguise since it has been impossible for me to eat out this january which definitely makes sticking to my diet easier.

[@snippitydippity3229]

You guys ask the best questions to the people you're interviewing. Great content as always

[@zaneguse703]

That was the first time I’ve heard of the four stages. It makes sense to me now. I’ve plateaued after losing 60 lbs since I finished playing college football, and looking at dieting like it’s a season, postseason, offseason, and postseason is a whole new way to approach it. I think that will help me as a former athlete stay engaged all year too. Thanks!

[@ruiruixia6645]

I love this show. Listen to it almost everyday as I get ready for my day.

[@Zivkela]

Hello guys. I had a rough time last year and a half. Fallen off any discipline I had and I just tried to keep myself sane. I had lost 2 family members, I had stopped working out and started gaining weight(17kg or around 38 pounds.) and I was stuck with a job that I didn't like that much. I've always liked the Full Body workouts, so I recently started working out again, I'm not complaining, but it would be nice to have a more structured program. Anyhow, I am trying to be happy and to get back on track so thanks for these podcasts and continue with the great job. Wishing all the best to the comment section and to you guys.

I found this podcast a few months ago and the irony is... I'm addicted. I love the approach that sees people as human beings with real challenges because we're more than sets and reps. Now, this podcast is part of my diet: I listen to it while I workout and I always learn something new. Keep up the good work guys! 💪🏾

[@carlspackler1431]

Love the comments on taking small steps. I once heard a great perspective on this. Think of movies that deal with time travel. They all say the same thing "Don't change even the tiniest thing or it can have catastrophic changes on the future".....so why is we believe that changing a tiny thing in the past can drastically change the future, yet we don't believe making small changes in the present can also lead to drastic changes in the future. Really loving your content!

[@zonthedon]

Best fitness podcast by a long shot

[@pierrelabrie99]

Great to hear nutrition advice on top of the fitness advice. Keep it up boys.

[@GratsielaLily]

Love your podcast so so much, it gets me trough most workouts...mostly, those that I don't really feel like doing. Because I still can't shake the lack of motivations sometimes. So I usually go in and say I'll do whatever at the gym...the put on your podcast and forget that I'm not in the mood for a workout, until the end of it :))))

[@JakeDenning]

As I’ve found, step count doesn’t much as much as heart rate does. 30 mins of 140BPM seems to better than 105BPM for 12k steps.

Much love from the UK. I'm on my weight loss journey from 348lbs. Competed in strongman for 7 years and I've so many ingrained eating habits which are hard to kick. Your show as been a massive help. Implementing the small changes you've discuss and others, has helped me drop 21lbs in 5 weeks. 250lbs at 6ft3 is the goal.

[@glenngilbert7390]

Thank you.

[@xXMikka92Xx]

I've never looked at dieting as a weekly total,only ever daily... I'm a hard gainer, diet tends to be good Monday to Friday eating in a surplus but I always seem to fall off the wagon on the weekend and never hit my calories... This explains why I'm not gaining the weight I want haha cheers Blokes, top work aye!

[@analyticalchick3064]

I decided to track a few meals when I got curious. I saw real quick why I would hit plateaus. I mostly tracked for a year or so. I haven't been for a few months now, but if I eat a new meal, I will often track it to see what it looks like.

[@gerald70691]

Mind pump should be mandatory for everyone to listen too!! Saw game changer results since starting maps aesthetic Going into phase two next wee looking fw to it !! My go to for working out is mind pump instead of music lol

[@ashrockrealty]

I watch your videos a lot and I have to say you guys have one of the best, if not the best, content that appeals a lot to me. This episode is a perfect example. I'm 50, about 188 lbs, started a low carb diet 3 years ago close to 200 lbs. Lost weight, went into 170s, I was thrilled. However, weight loss stalled, reversed to 188 now. I was doing low carb with intermittent fasting and usually omad. I couldn't explain it. I've been doing kettlebells, bodyweight work mostly. Want to drop body fat and muscle. Having a hard time especially with abdominal fat. I'm afraid this is exactly what's happened to me. Metabolic adaptation. Trying to figure out how to get out of this. Salman

[@dianenichols3611]

This is awesome Information! New subscriber here and I can’t wait to share you guys with all my members at my 2 gyms!!

[@brodheaded4147]

Me to the T. Diet perfect Monday through Friday and mentally fall off 7 to 9000 calorie cheat on weekends. Sometimes Saturday and Sunday. Taking the advice to look at the weekend completely differently. No cheat on the weekend.

[@jordanmiller5686]

When I first started tracking, one thing I messed up on was weighing out cooked chicken and tracking it as raw. Cooked foods are always going to have different macros then raw. That’s getting pretty tedious but still makes a difference if you’re trying to loose weight or have aesthetic goals

[@yourmomontop]

As a member of NCI, it was an honor to meet Sal and Adam during the Impact/Income live event. I had no idea that Adam was so knowledgeable with business. Sal of course dropped his knowledge bombs of wisdom that made the event priceless by itself. I personally believe MindPump has set the standard for the personal training industry, in the same way Paul Chek has changed the world with health restoration. When I initially came across MIndPump's channel a few years ago, debunking common bench press and squat flaws, I was instantly hooked. These guys have never failed to impress me since. On top of having a channel that introduces experts with posture and mobility. All of this free to us viewers to soak in that you will NOT find in any college program. Just asking for a few moments of your time to listen and take notes. Lastly, I first became aware of Jason Phillips through the MindPump Channel. That was my gateway to become part of the NCI community. One of the best purchases I made in 2021. I'm now on my way to becoming a certified nutrition coach and started my business a few months ago with so many ideas of expansion to create value, or in the words of JP, to CREATE IMPACT

[@jakebridgeman1813]

Yall heard from me many times, currently 300lbs, was doing everything intuitively eating and workouts. I think it's time to really start counting and forming my cut plan. Sure be nice to have a flagship, metabolism building super program to do while I count, lol...I've been lifting for 2 years, never cutting and body recomp has been great, I think im ready for another step foward!

[@nosirrahx]

For me the big change involved a model where I get ahead of calorie deficit instead of trying to fix mistakes later. If I know I have a day coming up where I know it would be easy to go over maintenance by a lot I will throw a super low calorie day (sometimes even a fast) in ahead of it. If I don't end up binging, its an extra bonus.

When weighing meat, is it cooked weight or raw weight?

[@IgalOsichunski]

Denmmmm you guys are awesome!!

[@mysticalbeast7808]

My personal trick is to over report my calories in the app I use. For example if I have 3 oz of salmon I record 4 oz. I'm cutting on 1800-1900 calories and try to hit that target even though I'm over recording because I know I will forget to add an item here and there so this method works for me

[@supimsatan]

[@suleiman1520]

I feel like we need to reaffirm the definition of the word diet. A diet is the eating habits of a person or peoples. When you eat youre dieting when youre not eating youre fasting. Its all about changing the way one lives over a long period of time.

[@pujandobaria1190]

just recently found this channel. I used to be 40 pounds overweight and went through a dramatic cut without resistance training to become skinny fat.
