GAIN MUSCLE: Try These Lifting Techniques to Start BUILDING MORE MUSCLE | Mind Pump 1911

[@drew9472]

So I got out of prison almost 4 months ago. And I'm on parole gps monitor so I can't leave the house unless I schedule it. I just wanted to say thank you. You may not know that you guys have helped me stay sane. Just listening to you 3. I've continued to work out even if it's just burpees.

[@Owen-C1997]

Body weight can go a long way brother! Do some dips with weight on chairs and pull ups with a backpack full of books or bags full of water (I'm sure you did this in lock up) and stay occupied man! These guys saved my life even tho they don't know it. I was in and out of jail frequently and switched up my lifestyle to focus on being jacked and healthy and I haven't gotten in trouble with the law since. Occupy your mind 💪🏼🧠

[@annie-francebizier5006]

You keep that up, you got this!! Onto better days! I wish you all of the best!

[@simplysuelou2014]

At 55 I realized that strength was the only way forward as I age. I’ve lost 10lbs of fluff in the last 12 weeks and have been practicing compound movements with light weights just to get used to the movement. I’ve fallen in love with the process and have been going through many old episodes of Mind Pump. The only problem is trying to explain to my non-athletic husband why I’m listening to 3 guys hour after hour. 😂 Truly appreciate what you all do! Thank you!

[@TH-il8mn]

Good evening, Guys! Good to see Doug up front!💗

[@seankovarik4444]

You mean Dad?

[@jaredriley3905]

I’ve started most of my clients/consultations re-thinking the first 3 months of their training to primarily focusing on strength. It’s been a game changer.

[@aburaheimhassan1894]

Like that you guys are taking more calls from people outside of the States. Keep it up!

[@shalenbrooks2377]

Been listening to your podcast for about a year and a half now and I have to say thank you guys so much. I look forward to the podcast everyday. The information on here has changed my life. Bought anabolic and is a game changer. I’m a full-time firefighter and time is very important to me and the three day a week workouts I’ve been amazing. I am stronger and feel better than I ever have before. So thank you guys so much for your programs and all the info. Keep up the good work.

[@dannythered23]

Doug just rocked my world!

[@famehilal]

God bless all of you at mind pump

[@shannongreene7290]

Love this podcast so much! When I competed I was only around other competitors and dated a bodybuilder. The conversations were about the gym, our bodies,diets and doing shows. It left me feeling like my brain was deteriorating 😆 Your podcast never makes me feel that way. I love every show I’ve watched and how much I’ve learned from them. Mind pump for sure!!

[@SmallzG87]

Great show! I'm 35 l and just had a son in February. I assumed the role of stay at home dad to be able to minimize on child care. All summer I've been watching episodes and have adopted some of the systems out workout routines that have been suggested. I only take creatine, protein powder, and a multi vitamin. In August I did a full month of 5x5 training here at my mini home gym. Great advice! Up until then, I've only really did the basic 3x10 sets or 3x12 training style. This month of September I've reverted back to this training I've felt stronger than ever. Watching and listening to this episode makes me feel like I need to go back to the power lifting style of training for the month of October and go back and forth to keep the body guessing and hopefully start seeing results. This is honestly the most solid advice as a person who doesn't go to the gym or have the funds to pay for personal training.

[@adamgonzalez9642]

Morning mind pump brothers! I stole a can of coke when I was 8 to impress my friends. I got home the next day and one of my friends Mum was sitting with my Mum and had told her what happened. I was marched back to the shop to confess. The Turkish owner wanted to give me a whole crate for confessing. My Mum was so embarrassed. The walk home my mum told me to choose a stick to be beat with which was awful. This was the 80's and my Mum has more than made amends for her punishment back then, and we have a beautiful relationship these days. Did I steal again? Yes! Peer pressure is a bitch. This is a true story! I did not steal it from a Richard Pryor stand up. The 80's were brutal times in East London. Especially being brought up by proud Irish/Spanish parents. I love listening to you lads. Have a blessed day 💪🏼🙏🏼👊🏼

[@spinewrenched848]

Great topic! I would love those bundles! I am recovering from a 20 hours back surgery. I need to get back in shape!

[@wesleycampbell2730]

Doing all the maps programs would be pretty interesting. I'm down for it!

[@king-nick2023]

I like Doug being involved

[@wilwolf3363]

Once again, great show and even better information. The tip about putting the appropriate weight on the barbell depending on the modality. I believe it to be my biggest issue. I’ve never thought about that. I’m gonna try it out now.

[@BELLSOFSTEEL]

Pumped to listen to this one 👌👌

[@metalhead4ever69]

Another great video with great wisdom

[@Hadorus1]

Really did this show never tried a Maps workout

[@mahvzilla]

Just bought MAPS Symmetry because I've never really thought about the imbalances I have until I started watching you guys. It's challenging but exciting to be trying something completely new to me. Thanks for all that you guys do!

[@KtArmstrong]

Truly enjoy your podcast! Thank you for sharing all this knowledge

[@swparent]

Thanks for all your content. Trying to put on more muscle at 53 years old.

[@MindPumpShow]

Winner Winner! Please email Ann [e-mail] 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.

[@HellenicWolf]

Great intro guys. Good one.

[@louannestachowski3014]

I’m on week 3 of Maps Starter and have so many questions. Guess I’ll have to post them on this weeks QUAH.

[@kingking-mo7tc]

That's why I try to follow a hybrid training plan. Compounds and explosive work then accessories.

[@garagegymgranny1965]

Great tips guys👍🏻You guys really do help tons of people with every podcast.

[@travisbarber1383]

Love the show!

[@claymonaro68]

Fantastic show again lads keep up the great work 👍

[@Ariel90problems]

Just started MAPS Aesthetic. This information was helpful because I am coming from a split type model. Also I haven’t ever been able to do a pull-up unassisted so wish me luck!

[@ignaciovalverde8929]

I've been a martial artist for over 5 years and I've been lacking in the muscle mass department. Muscles won't win a fight but it can't hurt to have them especially if you train the skills as you build that physical strength. When yall mentioned Powerbuilder and Bodybuilder mentality it reminded me that I adapt my martial arts discipline into weightlifting. It's fun to be a caveman and lift heavy weights but I want my strength to serve my fighting capabilites and I thrive on the fact I can spar and increase my striking abilities. Listening to you guys helped me out tremendously as I've used your advice for martial arts from mind to muscle connection to allocating and practicing exercises to feel the muscles engage for striking. Yall are are awesome and thank you.

[@leeannpetty5486]

I am fortunate enough to have both body building and Olympic lifting experience and still do both. 3 full body lifting days and 1 day CrossFit (mostly for fun) on Saturdays doing a partner wod I like throwing around heavy stuff sometimes 💪🏼 I am able to do the mental switch between the two and I really enjoy doing both but I think body building is my favorite these days.

[@Blueyes_silverfox]

Love the perspective and how you guys communicate! I've said it before and I'll say it again, you guys put to words things I have been thinking for a long time. As a life long amateur performance athlete, this episode gives me much to consider

[@loganmoran3848]

Basically always sum up muscle growth to diversifying your bonds in different methods

[@thisdrumm9r]

BOOOM MINDPUMP TIME! come on Doug say it. 😆

[@katherinevaccare9318]

Been subscribed and notifications on, just need to add the comment! Love listening to you guys, swear you always put out content related to what I’m trying to educate myself about at the time. Beginning to add some powerlifting/strength training into my strictly bodybuilding style of training. Started lifting almost 1 year ago, so I spend a good deal of time on knowledge and education. You guys make it easy. Grateful for your content as you’ve helped me a lot along my journey so far. Thank you for inspiring, helping, and educating people like myself! Good vibes to you all from Pittsburgh ✨

[@jdot3334]

can’t wait to listen, thank y’all so much for the fitness and life changing advice you drop in every vid. The consistency is unmatched, I along w many others have seen such a crazy amount of growth since I started watching your videos ❤

[@powellshaun]

been binging your vids for a few days, really great content guys. clear breakdowns to take away 👍👍👍

[@aklakahmed8637]

Learning so much from your videos, you guys have shifted the way I think about fitness completely , it feels as if I have been fed lies all my life, I am just glad I found you guys before I turned 30 lol.

[@morokesejake5793]

Mind Wisdom.🏋🏽‍♂️ #FuelTheMind Happy to be learning from this podcast.🏋🏽‍♂️ #MindPumpShow

[@johnlehman27]

Interesting, never actually been on a dedicated +10 week program. MAPS Strong sounds cool

[@sim2013uk]

Love to see it Adam(moody😉) rocking the Jordans with the starbucks and stevia soda 😝. Also can you do an episode for people like me who have lost alot of weight like me through lots of movement and lifting but want maintain in a sustainable way moving forward in your top ten tips format.

[@BRAO_art]

Just finishing Maps Powerlift for the first time and this discussion is spot on! It was great to switch mentality to perform this program. Guess Maps Strong would be a good follow up 😆

[@patriciomaestas5333]

Always great content. Thank you all for sharing your wisdom.

[@karacrossett6842]

Guys! For first the time ever, I'm stoked for my fitness future. I ref bball, and longevity is the mindset. I have a couple of your programs, and am attempting to apply your phasing technique in preparation for the up coming season (and utilize Prime during the season). Thank you so much for being genuine, honest and intelligent. 100% worth the investment.

[@MiguelHernandez-xj1rt]

Yes! This is right where all my research into fitness and training has been pointing to but I wasn’t sure if there were any reputable sources that would agree with me I cut my teeth in the big three but I truly enjoy training for physique as well as strength and being someone that has arthritis it can be beneficial for me to train with modest loads. You guys rock thank you for putting out such thought provoking content across the board!

[@haniobeidi849]

Love more of the life advice and experiences

[@JeffreyFate]

Very timely tip - I'm starting MAPS anabolic phase 1 this week

[@erickbeeify]

Great advice, i get burned out on one training program all the time. Try it out

[@Burkhimself]

Totally agree and have had the same thoughts of powerlifting vs body building. Enjoyed this. 💪🏼

[@kaylynnemateus7387]

Our grocery store growing up had a bulk section so I had a friend who would get giant bags of candy and then self-checkout and enter the code as the cheapest option - something like oatmeal so it was way way cheaper. I still think about it when I self-checkout.

[@josholiver3425]

I feel this so much lately, grew up doing bodybuilder type workouts and just recently got into powerlifting with your maps and now on performance and its been kicking my butt from low reps and lots of rest😆 would love to try out the strong!!

[@Pastorjonlayden1]

I’ve been trying to figure out how to work on my pull-up skills. Will try those tips. Thank you guys for creating and putting out great content that is both helpful and practical.

[@irenenunez9054]

I love these videos 💪 so many great ideas. Also, I used to work at wally world for about 2 years. I can't tell you how often people would switch the barcodes on items in the self check out. The host in a self-checkout has a small screen to show the items on every self-served register.

[@coleheketoa]

Hi Justin, Sal and Adam, As a 53 year old man I really appreciate your clear, nuanced and scientifically verified health and fitness information. My question stems around building muscle, reducing my love handles and overall fitness for longevity. I only own a suspension trainer. Should I build muscle first before focusing on losing belly fat? I'm aware of MAPS anabolic, however is it still ideal, safe or detrimental for me to include 10mins cardiovascular at the end of a strength session, if my main focus is to build muscle using a suspension trainer. I'm perplexed to whether I discontinue cardiovascular for a period of time. Thank you for your time. Regards Cole Heketoa Altona Meadows, Melbourne - Australia 🇦🇺 💪

[@SMKP]

@37:55 This is brilliant 😂😂😂

[@mr.f6975]

Hey guys I've recently started getting into gym and just found you guys a couple weeks ago been listening everyday since, amazing advice and motivation that keeps me going. Keep it up!!

[@xedxed-1819]

Hey sal what are your take on moringa plant benefits… this is going to be a good topic since it has all the essential amino acids and so much more nutrients than any other vegetables..

[@alexvasquez8474]

I appreciate the content! I've been waiting patiently for the new program teased in an past listener live question. Any official time frame on the release?? Can't wait!

Doug the Dad ! 😄😄😄

[@laurynfromtheLAB]

Walmart purchased my bank I’ve been using called One Finance. They actually took away a bunch of great things about the bank including: pockets with their own virtual card numbers, a physical card that can be swapped to any pocket for better budgeting, 3% APY on up to 10% of paycheck, ability to share pockets with other members. I’m thinking of switching banks again. I don’t shop at Walmart and I can’t justify the rewards we get back from shopping there

[@raphaelramarbenasa4522]

How does fat percentage affect overall strength?

[@tylerferguson3575]

I struggle to turn off the body builder mentality. Very touch to swap back and forth like sal mentioned.

[@waynec.hittthehitthomegrou3326]

The Doug As Dad photo just had me spit my coffee all over the place 😂

[@stephendaedalus6192]

Ok, new to periodisation, having trained mostly around 8 reps. I now focus hypertrophy around 15, and power around 3. My question is, when I go back to blocks of 8, what is my focus? Strength? A mix of bodybuilder and powerlifter?

[@MartinV.]

Mind Pump Yeah Dude!!

[@joeymak2000]

Hey guys! Loved this episode, newer listener here (about 3 months). Curious on your thoughts on this. I’ve been eating about 2100-2200 cals for 2-3 months. I feel like my metabolism has increased thanks to what I’ve been learning . Training 5x5 in compound lifts and 3x10 in accessories. I’m gaining muscle as my weights keep going up in lifts but my scale keeps going down. Am I really building muscle while “cutting”?

[@stormrhode2330]

If you can't do pull-ups, perform inverted rows! Another great exercise that can be moulded to various levels and help progress to pullups.

[@stevevaldez2615]

I ran powerlifting then strong now I'm in phase 2 of performance and its kicking my butt. I have a physical job I'm consistent with my workouts. I follow them to a t and phase 2 showed me how out of shape I am. Week 2 got easier though.

[@paulbenham12]

Love the content guys. I'm trying to loose 30 to 40kg the right way. I'm lifting 4 to 5 days a week full body with a compound lift each day. Hitting my protein, cut out alcohol( except for special occasions) been consistent for 3 month. Any specific tip for people in my predicament

[@JoshuaGeers-os3hf]

No mention of calisthenics. What is your guys opinion on calisthenics or even waited calisthenics ?

[@rneikha1177]

just curious about Adam's fast do you drink water during a fast?20

[@danielbrown4395]

The first segment is literally where I’m torn on where to focus first. Would I see better results if I focused on strength training first and afterwards shift to aesthetics? Or vice versa?

[@jesstellsya]

In my early twenties, I worked for Babies R Us, and I remember employees getting away with theft buying a product , returning it, then marking it as RGD (Returned Goods Damaged). Employees can definitely cause shrinkage, and also fuck up the classification of the shrinkage as well.

[@VivekSingh-hy1dk]

hey mind pump team, it would be interesting if you guys can talk about oral health and it's relation to lifting. recently i got one of my incisor chipped off in the process of bracing up. can you please throw more light on the topic. thanks

[@takek7739]

Can u guys explain hot to break down maps program to a 4 days a week like upper lower split ?

[@SmedleyButlerIII]

The lady at the local grocery store said their biggest problem (with self checkout) was customers selecting some cheap vegetable, but putting something different into the bag... She even said "I guess when certain foods become so extreme in prices, people start figuring out ways to survive"... 😞

Boom 🎉

[@king-nick2023]

I typically don’t go over 10 reps.. 4-6 then 6-8 then 8-10

The one exception to Adams rule of sports teams being guaranteed profit is the WNBA. Most owners of WNBA teams own other professional sports teams and use the WNBA teams as write offs. I think the league in general loses millions of dollars a year.

How do you get back into working out when the military has been hard on my body? Everytime I start….I feel something is hurting me. Im 33 weight 260 and am 6 feet tall.

[@alternatephysique9940]

I eat Lil debbies cakes just about every night and kids cereal lol. If i didn't workout like i do I'd most definitely be fat. I count calories but i don't count the late night snacks which actually I'm amazed I've held this weight for over 2 years.
