Are You Working Out Hard Enough? The Truth About Intensity | Mind Pump 2206

[@jamesbondinspector]

You guys have changed my life! In the last 18 months. In 2/22, I lost my wife of 20 years, and at age 57, found myself at nearly 400 pounds and in terrible shape having been her caregiver for 10 years. I have since lost 110 pounds and have watched my body transformed from a couch potato to a developing muscular frame. I’m so thankful for your channel! You guys rock!

[@Paul-yk7ds]

Awesome job and congrats on your progress!

[@jamesbondinspector]

@@Paul-yk7dsthank you!

[@kimthompson4300]

So sorry for your loss. Keep up the great work!

[@jesusnunez7798]

Wow

[@bryanfrombuffalo7685]

Sorry for ur loss..been there...keep moving brother ❤

[@Natalie.Tate.]

With a long history of disordered habits with regard to nutrition and fitness, I really appreciate each podcast. It helps me remember to trust the process. I’ve learned so much and have begun to feel significantly stronger physically and mentally. Thank you very much!

[@jose.rvmirez]

I got into my fitness journey last year. Hired a personal trainer. Really did change my life but after a while he started to neglect his “coaching”. He never did teach me much. All he would do is send me workouts and change my macros every now and then. I never learned anything about calories or changing workouts none of that. It was always work out constantly. More of the “gogginsl mentality. I’ve learned so much just by listening to you guys over the last few weeks than I ever did with him over the last year. Going solo and I’m confident because of you guys!! Thank you so much!!

[@brendawatson7666]

I had a trainer about 10 years ago , who told me it was his mission to make me vomit on leg day.. I hated every work out, because I felt beat up afterwards and sore for days. I ended up quitting and have been afraid to get a trainer since.. putting my toe back in the water and meeting with a trainer in 2 days to get started on a strength program

[@GrowingThroughItAll]

Effing masochist! So sorry :/ Been there

[@fluffybunny2984]

I’m sorry you had such a bad experience. Please don’t let that deviate you from going to the gym. You got it! Don’t let any trainer push you to where you are not comfortable!🫶

[@Thistooshallpass2]

The mental clarity your videos give me is so appreciated .. you guys are my rocky ! 😅

[@tabithasantos9809]

I love waking up and starting my day with a new mind pump episode. The rare time there isn’t an episode, I feel lost 😂 the information you share, the energy and the camaraderie just sends great vibes to start the day! Thank you!!

[@Rafaeganez]

Love you guys, changed my life in such a short time. For real blessed and grateful to whatever led me to listen to you guys.

[@carolannN9712]

You all continue to surprise and delight me! I came across your show very recently and have been devouring older episodes. Many of the nutrition, fitness and holistic wellness concepts I learned the hard way over the past 18 months are what you share. I feel their wisdom and truth which makes you even more credible to me than your experience or fame. The variety of topics and authenticity with which you share are refreshing in the fitness industry and make you super relatable as fellow human beings. Thank you for being excellent!

[@RBW8774]

So needed this episode. I swear you guys always put out exactly what I need when I need it . Thank you!❤

[@Sweet_T316]

Mind Pump is the guiding light to all health and fitness! Thank you for leading us in the right direction!

[@alyssacrosby8172]

Brand new to MP and feeling like an absolute sponge. I was an obese kid, lost 50+ lbs at 17 and have kept it off for 17 more years. I’ve never quite reached the look and shape that I wanted but 2024 is really feeling like my year. Thanks for filling the health and fitness space with so much useable information!

[@MindPumpShow]

More power to you ! We're here to help

[@tinaperkins5545]

My favorite mornings are the ines that start with listening to Mind Pump! Thank you for all you do! ❤

[@MindPumpShow]

Our pleasure!

[@fluffybunny2984]

I listen during my long runs!!! Keep doing what y’all doing, you guys keep me going!

[@meredithhoward3733]

You know a podcast is legit when it's consistently almost 2 hours long and yet, whenever Sal starts to say "Look, if you like Mind Pump..." you're like Nooo, it's already over?!

[@julissarivas6992]

Awe how sweet is Max!!! "I don't know how it got in my tummy" melts my heart. I am here for fitness but I absolutely enjoy when you all talk about your families and life events. Thanks!

[@MindPumpShow]

So glad you like it!

[@karisaguetterman5794]

This was the most thorough information I’ve heard regarding how to recover from a baby and rebuild the core. It took me so long to learn that I ATP also. Thank you the valuable information.

"How beautiful this music was, how sad, and yet how comforting! She felt it within her as a current of exquisite feeling running smoothly but irresistibly through all the labyrinthine intricacies of her being." Perfect description of frisson from Aldous Huxley almost 100 years ago.

[@brianwhitcraft2344]

Love your show, just who found you guys within the last week and I've been binging since. I love how you can speak to beginners, moderates, and heavy experienced people all at the same time

[@MindPumpShow]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@stacievalley8295]

I love how you guys are in it to help everyone. Good, genuine people like everyone at team mind pump is hard to come across these days. You guys change lives every single day. If there’s any fitness advice people should take, it’s from you guys. I honestly feel this yt channel alone can seriously turn around the obesity epidemic. You guys are incredible 💯💪

[@96ivanina]

I love your show! You keep me company with the podcast in the car or while walking, and your information helped me change my view towards exercise and fitness. I've recently lost 16kg (35lbs), and now I want to build a strong body, with muscle and strength I can be proud of!

[@scottbennett3765]

All things in moderation… except for Mind Pump. Always go 100% all in on Mind Pump! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@koh_ker]

I have been listening to your podcast every workout, since then I have lost 10kg and even gotten stronger on full body workout routine. There’s so much information to analyse, apply, and test

[@hellewindelv-lidzelius6998]

Concerning todays episode I don’t come here to comment on the content as such, but rather, I want to applaud that Justin finally got/took much more time to talk and share his views between the three of you without being interrupted by you two, Sal and Adam, (whom I find often tend to dominate the space and the conversation, plus being a bit too busy about bringing your own point of view forward rather than listening to each other. And Justin). That’s my personal point of view. BUT today’s episode felt much more harmonised in terms of the space and time each three of you took and gave, and I just want to say that I appreciated that super-much! There were respect and equal space for everyone today - and that is super-nice to be a part of for the listener as well 👌👌👌.

[@coliveroc]

Understanding and implementing these differences in training are crucial for the success and longevity of people . A good trainer play a key role in designing training programs that reflect these seasonal changes and meet the unique needs of each people

[@chriscichlids5681]

As an overweight truck driver I finally found a local trucking position that allows me to be home more and focus on my health now but the lessons I’ve learned recently from implementing what u have learned from listening to your you tube channel has help me 10000 steps , eat Whole Foods, walking after meals and sleep had Made a difference I would like to know what is the MP program u recommend for weight loss

[@mineliatrujeque9725]

Been listening to you guys for about two years and never disappoint ! You guys are part of my morning routine now 😂

[@stephnorth7025]

Hello from Essex! Thanks for your wicked content, learn something proper insightful from every podcast. Real applicable stuff that has changed the way I workout. Love the masterclass series and deffo focusing more on my deadlifts and squats after learning from you lot. Also practicing my vacuums to alleviate the lower back pain I get when squating and overhead pressing. Absolute legends big up! 💪✌️💚

[@KtArmstrong]

I couldn’t agree more with you Austin. Good to know we all go through this 😅

[@Humblehundal]

Sent this to myself over a year back. Revisited & re learned.

[@huckjunoy]

As type one personality needing the message that more doesn't mean best I appreciate immensely your good work spreading out in every episode such a valious knowledge and awareness.

[@lukebennett4465]

I literally just watched that video sal mentioned 2 days ago and it instantly gave me relief.

[@RoyalAzul]

Such important knowledge! Thank you!

[@WhiskeyRiver0]

Thank you guys so much for anabolic. I'm on it right now. Diet sleep, recovery is everything.

[@MindPumpShow]

Great to hear!

[@BethVonBlack]

Frisson - pronounced 'free-sonn' (not frishon) is something I first encountered as an infant! Apparently, my Mum found me crying listening to a piece of classical music as a baby. Movie trailers often do this to me too - in the cinema when it's really loud and epic feeling, I actually cried during a trailer that used Carmina Burana. My ex-boyfriend was an incredibly talented blues guitarist - his music still gives me goosebumps to this day, over 10 years later.

[@andreahunkins9866]

Never watched rocky 🤷🏻‍♀️ The first caller was really good to listen to, my sister just had her 4th baby and I was telling her how much I have learned listening to you guys. Can’t wait to send her the episode.

[@carterpronschinske3]

I have only started listening to you guys yesterday and already have gained more knowledge into health and fitness than ever before. I am fairly new lifter so this program would be a great opportunity to put my knowledge to the test. Keep up the great work 🫡

[@tammykealiher2556]

Still laughing about the fake "vrooms." Love waking up in the morning and listening to you guys! Love hearing about your kid' stories.

[@MrSUPERJON93]

Great content yet again, the guys never disappoint with being a guide in the fitness industry to whats actually good for people.

[@MindPumpShow]

Thank you!

[@BeckyJB]

1:14:22 I got Nutrisense for 3 months and tracked my glucose levels. I have PCOS and have benefited greatly from it. My glucose levels were sensitive to things I didn’t expect. Everyone is different. I also found certain carbs didn’t spike my levels. I suggest that if you’re not able to afford it than get the glucose goddess audiobook and do it. I learned a ton from her and don’t need the monitor based on her book! Good luck 😉 ❤

[@kimthompson4300]

I love hearing all that you guys have to share. Not just great workouts, but all the extra. I am one of those people that is moved by music, thanks for sharing things like that…….Keep being real!

[@wilwolf3363]

Adam, the closest analogy for the volume and intensity message you’re trying to get across would be what I was taught in the Marine Corps. Slow is smooth , smooth is fast Basically, they were saying his practice makes perfect

[@kylemiller7892]

Loved the show, thank you again for the amazing content and insight!

[@michellejoseph8227]

Adam I think. We can learn from nature. We have a season. Winter (dromant), spring (feeding), summer (blooming), fall (autumn) slowing down, our training can similarly mimic nature.

[@killianhughes2385]

Love the podcast from ireland💚

[@MindPumpShow]

Amazing thank you!

[@nicolehalverson5225]

How do you calculate how much muscle weight you've gained? I am 56 yo, 5ft 5 inches, weighing 161 lb. I strength train 4 days per week. I have a scale that tells me weight and body fat. I also recently had my body fat percentage calculated at 31%.

[@kellydavis6945]

After a year of listening I’m 4 weeks into my first program-anabolic. I’d love to give aesthetic a go next!! ❤

[@janfauzt]

I love you guys and all the messages you spread, you guys have influenced my heavy in my fitness journey. One thing I wish you guys would do is let Sal Drop his own Crazy Clown Powder and please release it here in the Philippines. 🙏

You're welcome!

[@ant52onio]

I just listened to the Rocky episode the other day. Its episode 190 where they were arguing about Sylvester stallone and his acting, love story, Sal was like he got awards for his acting, Adam said he sucked 😂. I listen from the beginning at the gym and listen to the new ones on KZbin and i love how they touched on it. Go listen to episode 190 towards the end, it was hilarious.

[@michaeloehler8298]

I wonder how many work out intensely as an addiction. I know I used to push myself too hard because I had internal struggles that I could only put to ease by training too hard 😔. I wish I could tell some of these people who train like this how, long term, it will only break you down.

[@Oceancurve]

Can't believe Sal said Master of Puppets. Which was also the first song that gave me goosebumps!

Financial Planner here, it depends on the title of the property. They could inherit the house with a step up in basis. But property taxes will adjust to the new fair market value of the house.

Hi, is it ok to lift your head when lowering the weights while bench pressing? What about pressing the back of your head when pressing? What’s the safest position of your neck when bench pressing? Thanks!

Love the show and all the content you guys put out . Since I started watching and listening to you, I stop thinking about losing weight and started to think about getting stronger and my body has chance like never before and it ain’t me looking myself at the mirror is my ex wife telling me , Which is awesome 😂😂

[@scotlynhatt]

Interesting topic today gents. There was an interesting point on another quality channel that brought up the idea that some trainers play it safe with high-earning athletes so they aren't "the guy" who injured the star with intense training and now they are sitting out the game or even worse, the season.

Have you guys ever talked with Dr. Joel Seedman? I've followed him for awhile. Seems like his advice is solid

[@nicholasj.9105]

I workout 30 min every week day involving supersets and lifting about as much as I possibly can for the last 2 years and have gained 20 pounds when I couldn't gain a pound if I tried before cuz I was a hard gainer. Should I dial it back? I change up rep ranges from 10s to 8s. Then 5s then back to 10s now. Used to just go to failure but I don't do that anymore When it comes to triceps I can only do a couple exercises. Like rope pull downs. If I try the close grip bench press my left elbow pops and it feels weird. So I see what yall are saying. How can I fix that issue?

[@claytonwilson2036]

Subtitles nice . Thanks

[@marlenaedwards364]

I wish I could tell you guys "my story" I'm pretty much what you have probably experienced/ seen and even what you're watchers have done as well. I adopted the MAMBA mentality(my idol) and my intensity was on 1000000 up until now at 36😂😂😂... it was my body that made me slow down😢

[@tsleong1]

I've been working out then taking a few days off walking, now I think the active recovery is helpful and working more moderate, I'll do walking and light weights for a recovery day. I also have to watch Sly, so thanks for the heads up on that. I was an attorney licensed to practice with tax court, Adam is again wrong, about inheritance tax and trusts. Only six states charge an inheritance tax Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. The federal estate tax threshold is $12.92 million, so if Adam died and put his million USD house in a trust for the kids it would make no difference, in terms of taxes, depending on the type of trust. If its not in a trust and held personally the basis is stepped up at the time of death, so the kid would only pay the difference in taxes at the time of sale between the date of Adams death and the sale price. Since the trust did not die, the original purchase price would be the basis so a trust would actually increase the taxes, assuming the price of the property increased. However a trust would avoid probate and would expedite the ability to transfer the property after death, and excess state attorneys and probate fees as well as would protect privacy and facilitate transfer of property. I am surprised that California hasn't decided to charge an inheritance tax yet, because you would expect they would be on the cutting edge of all things tax.as well as would protect privacy and facilitate transfer of property. as well as would protect privacy and facilitate transfer of property.

[@evec2022]

To me, the risk of over-emphasizing upbringing or genetics is that those things are un-changeable once you reach adulthood. If those are so important and you can't change them, then that removes all the hope that we can give people that they can change no matter what. If those things are so important, why bother if you didn't get a good dose of those two things? That's the danger. The reality is that the best therapy is kindness. It's truly the most under-rated self-care to receive. If you can be kind to people, enough of those kind moments can lift a person out of a bad place.

[@limitisillusion7]

It took me 4 years of running to learn to do an easy run. Still haven't learned how to have an easy lifting session. First set is at least 9 RPE. If that means 10 reps, I'll be damned if I don't do myoreps to get 10 reps in the following sets. *WHO'S GONNA CARRY THE BOATS AND THE LOGS?* I carry the logs. Tree removal is my job.
