How to Train Around an Unusual Schedule & More (Listener Live Coaching) - 1776

[@Bjhgjh659]

With a history of eating disorders and excessive cardio I’ve come really far and have almost eliminated cardio, am now deadlifting, benching and squatting heavy with progressive overload and am encouraged to make better food decisions based on fueling my body for health vs running away from calories. I’m studying for my NASM to become a trainer and help people understand their bodies better. I can’t believe how great i feel when the scale goes up meaning I’m gaining muscle and eating 2400 calories roughly making sure my protein is top priority when i used to be afraid of consuming more than 1200. Thanks to Mind Pump I had the tools and insights I needed to make the changes that intrigued me but I had always lacked education. Watching you guys has given me so much confidence to approach the gym and explore and have fun and feel like a new person training for longevity. Thank you for all you guys bring to the table. It’s inspiring on every level!

I deactivated all my social media a little over 2 years ago for personal reasons, it was the best decision I could’ve made. Im completely off the grid, my only source of “social media” is KZbin.

[@radioclash84]

I did that few years ago as well. Felt I have accomplished more in the time. But another big time waster is KZbin. If you aren't careful that time saved away from social media can be easily wasted here.

[@zachmiller9955]

Did the same thing myself a few years ago. I have noticed though that if I’m not careful KZbin can really suck me in too. It’s so easy for them to bring you back

[@johnray4654]

You guys aren’t lying 😓 I do find myself scrolling just the same on KZbin as before. Only difference is I don’t post anything. Just consume content like crazy. I should read a book. Lol

[@Ivan.80p]

Same here. Actually I’ve been off Facebook for over 10yrs, Instagram for 4yrs and Twitter (which is the most toxic and hardest to give up) for 2yrs now. KZbin is all I’m on and it’s mostly for fitness videos, music and how to keep a good lawn LOl

[@johnray4654]

@@Ivan.80p I feel a sense of pride when someone asks me for my social media and I say, “I don’t have any social media.” They always look at me like I’m crazy. Everyone now a days is online so it’s rare to find someone who’s not. Hahaha lawn care videos! That’s gold 😂

[@leishaharms414]

Traveling nurse here- I'm just finishing up a contract and stayed with my brother and his wife for the duration of my contract. I am leaving him a mind pump fan. I started him on the program for beginners and worked out with him for the first 3 weeks. When we started he couldn't squat more than a few inches. Now he can get parallel and his back pain has improved. Just wanted to say thank you. As far as an unusual schedule- this contract was varying shifts 😳 consistency was difficult to say the least

[@jre5811]

Leave a like guys it doesn't cost anything, these guys are the best in the industry no doubt!

[@danielfinke9125]

As a PT student, it can be hard to balance work, study and training. Over the past few months, I’ve grown not just in strength, but in not stressing out about food and training. 👍

[@ethanfrancisco5446]

Tracking macros is such a tedious thing to be doing daily for most of us. For someone like myself who works full time and goes to school full time, it’s almost impossible to be 100% consistent. The Intuitive Nutrition Guide could definitely be game changer for someone like me.

[@Pap-yy1xf]

They recommend that people do not track calories the rest of their lives, really in the beginning of your fitness journey or when you have a specific goal

[@MindPumpShow]

Winner! Please email [e-mail] with this episode number, a screenshot of your youtube profile, and the email you would like the program to go to.

[@BRAO_art]

Lamb of God for the win!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@jennasaurusrex5296]

I worked nights for years while serving in the military and it's so tough to listen to your body when it's essentially being hijacked by a poor sleep schedule and I understand the fitness struggle. What worked for me was making sure my nutrients and food was on point by meal prepping, always having healthy and planned snacks, and focusing on hydration. Otherwise it's soooooo easy to just eat whatever when you're working weird hours.

[@stewartbyrne3577]

Justin's response to "approved" had me freaking creased!!!!

[@annaball7319]

I have been listening to you for over a year. Y'all have said so many things that have made me change direction in my journey. Recently I have been stuck at 230 after losing 15. I was only eating two meals and they were low carb. If I counted right it was only 1500cals some days less. I'm not a short woman (5ft 8.5in) with good muscle before working out. But killed my metabolism years ago with Intermittent fast /OMAD everyday. And because of MindPump I decided to do a lean bulk to get my calories back up (on week 2). And I am seeing better gains in my butt and legs then I did before. And with a flatter stomach! But still at the same weight! I can't thank you guys enough!

[@tylermcintyre2993]

Thanks for the opportunity to ask my question and for the valuable advice! Keep doing what you're doing, you guys rock 🤘

[@scarrx.19]

staying off of social media has not only improved my mental health, but it has also helped me focus more on myself and my fitness and health choices, so it’s been a win so far for me. Although I know it can be beneficial for some (promoting businesses, etc.), I do think it can become a very toxic environment depending how it’s used and the content one follows. Also, staying off of it has given me more time to listen to the best podcast (Mind Pump of course)! I can relate to the difficulty of scheduling workouts around a difficult work schedule. Being a student and working full time, knowing where to best fit in workouts is hard, but worth it in the long run… as long as you get enough rest! Something that I never gave much thought to until Mind Pump kept mentioning the importance of rest and made me realize how much of a difference it actually makes!

[@gonzalesjsee]

I am definitely liking Adam and Justin giving a package away. Not that I don't like Sal doing it, but idk why it always puts a smile on my face if they do it. ESPECIALLY JUSTIN! It put a fat ass smile on my face. 😂😂😂 Now pick my comment as the winner Justin or Adam! Hahaha

[@soyness8036]

I'm halfway through Phase I of Anabolic after a successful reverse diet last winter and my appetite has gone through the roof! It's my first real program so I'm not sure how to deal with it - I thought that I had the right calories and macros but I've been hungry non stop since the middle of pre-phase. Hell, I even woke up hungry last night! I've been on top of my tracking for about a year now, and I feel it's time I learn to eat in a more relaxed and pragmatic way. The guide would be a fantastic asset for me. Thanks for everything that you do!

[@lisaday1143]

Liked the social media conversation….good points to check in what truly serves you out of those platforms.

[@ICEMAN-uv2pb]

I’m a firefighter as well. Watching this episode and going back to watch the first responder episode was very insightful. I’m looking forward to putting your advice into practice. If there is any way you can do a first responder bundle deal again, I’d greatly appreciate it! Again, i love your content and enjoy listening to and from work! Thank yall for all you do

[@cami8082]

I used to live in The Gambia, West Africa when I was serving in the Peace Corps and moringa grew EVERYWHERE! I tried to get my family and village members to drink moringa tea or add it to their meals and they wouldn’t do it because they weren’t familiar with it. I found it so crazy to come back to the states and see moringa selling for $20+

[@suhwateezea.214]

Keep this up guys. This podcast is fricken great!

[@joshcastle9257]

Much love from Australia guys, been waiting for a pod like this for a while now as I work 5 overnights per week until 8am and only sleep at night twice a week ( I am currently 6 months into muscle building phase after 100 pound weight loss )

[@juliovasquez4559]

Please guys I'm a hard gainer and your biggest fan, the intuitive guide would be amazing for me, I listen to the show as soon as it comes out

[@mikebonvie7423]

great episode, the sleep talk is pertinent to what I am focusing in on, my niche is training first responders, military, police and security guards, I did watch the First Responders episode, and I just recently purchased the First Responders Bundle, fantastic bundle, but this is a good talk about intensity and during those long shifts and odd hours to be able to recover and maintenance with what you have gained during those periods. more tools to for my tool box.

[@Ryan-gv7gy]

Great episode.

[@jmt-ri6ed]

eating intuitively really would be the icing on the untracked small slice of carrot cake for me!.. Thx for another great podcast

[@jcas7489]

Pick me mindpump!! You have changed my training over the last year and sals knowledge on digestive issues has helped me greatly

[@maeganrae]

You guys are so right about protecting ourselves in the social media context. We can't allow ourselves to have our precious time and energy be sucked in by all these beeps and boops on the internet these days.

[@troyharrington7043]

I'm starting a 10 week powerlifting program from a trainer at my gym next week, I can't wait! Someday I would love to run a maps program and that one with the macros seems great I have always tried to track but honestly it's a lot harder than I thought and I can't help but feel like I would have be way further along with my goal if I could hit my macros better, love the content guys! Thanks again.

[@chsthefirst]

Just effing lovely 💪💪

[@supimsatan]

I used to squat for 10 years and stopped for 3 years and went to Leggpress and RDL. When i came back to squating for 1 time to test my strenght, it was pretty damn high. RDL probably helped alot to.

[@mindofvalue4577]

Two things here. 1- I believe kids doing less dumb irresponsible stuff today is related to lower testosterone. Less drive. 2- Angry Sal is the only reason I'm still on Twitter. Great podcast as well!!

[@Didi-oi8uz]

Counting macros was such a drag for me. Every meal started with calculations and sometimes my food cooled before I could eat it :))) Intuitive eating is a must in order to live a normal life!

[@RennieRomero]

Hey guys thanks again for all the great content. Would love to win one of your programs.

[@HAYDENBURDGE1]

I use the leg press after squats on leg day. Superset them with walking lunges 🔥

[@claymonaro68]

Yes all the machines in the gym do have good uses, but my favourite is the vending machine, which is not the best for my fitness journey. Thanks for a great show again lads keep up the great work.

[@ob9896]

this was a great podcast

[@brandongarrison1919]

It's funny. On Monday iron culture did a deep dive into the limits of EMG. How it only measures electric impulse to contract and the kinetics are a huge factor.

[@cameronmitchell7018]

Tracking macros at the beginning of my fatloss journey was super important (lost over 65kgs), but I've started seeing a eating disorder professional to help me with intuitive eating, and not eating my emotions. And getting my head around gaining weight (muscle mass) back now im able to workout again (had a spinal injury, which required a fusion) I'm only allowed to do a body measurements once a month to check fat % and muscle mass. Which has all been going well, but still a head f#@k for someone who has been in a fatloss mode in all my adult life.

[@andrewresczenko1958]

Leg press maybe doesn’t transfer over to squat but I’ve been running maps Powerlift at Planet fitness and now go to a barbell club and my smith machine bench directly carried over to my normal barbell bench numbers.

[@gonzalesjsee]

Cover elbow pain please! If you can just talk about it, it comes and goes for like all the time and it only comes when I go slightly heavy. Example, i bench 135lbs for 15- 20 times for 4 sets and its fine. I shoulder press 95lbs for 4 sets and it's fine. But if I bench 225+ for 6-12 times the next day my elbow is jacked. Shoulder press 135lbs+ for 6-12 times next day my elbow fucking hurtttts. HELP Mind Pump. Please!

[@MrMongoose32]

On phase 3 of anabolic. Getting my A$$ kicked. Lol! Good stuff! Keep up the great work fellas 💪🏽

[@brianbrowne1181]

Hey guys. What’s the best way to incorporate squats and deadlifts into a split routine while working out 6 days a week? I’m currently doing squats and deadlifts on the same days. I saw in an older podcast you guys saying that it’s not a good idea to do both on the same day. Any help would be appreciated thanks

[@benripa3488]

In regards to training more than one person at a time, I know when I was powerlifting, my trainer owned his own little shop. He’d have a range from 1-4 people in at a time per slot. I think where it benefitted the most was with more adept lifters. So like me I was able to learn and grow very quickly, but with people who need more hands on they did receive a little less because of the style. I would say it’s beneficial for when you have knowledgeable clients that really want the programming and a little extra help, but clients that need the attention should be by themselves.

[@waynec.hittthehitthomegrou3326]

Chlorophyll… more like boreaphyll! Justin, Adam Sandler would be proud 😂

[@elizamarlor38]

Intuitive eating fascinates me. As a mom of 3 under 7 I’ve had to do macros in spurts but in my current phase of life it just isn’t feasible. I’d love to better compliment my training with solid nutrition but lack the time and knowledge to implement something that is less time consuming than macros.

When I was still in the Army we had a First Sergeant that bragged about his leg press. He did that instead of squat because he didn't feel safe doing squat. Which is fine, but he bragged about it alot. One day he was doing it and I just go: "You know what? I'm going to say it. Top, no one cares about leg press. It's about putting heavy weight on the bar, putting the bar on your back, and squatting down ass to grass."

so im kinda stuck trying to figure out if squatting is worth it. my ankles are fused from birth and i have 2 screws in my right foot essentially my talus and calcenial bone are fused how can i overcome this. knee pain is constant for me. any tipsnor tricks to modify would be great since i have no ankle mobility

No, you’ll get more gains from doing the program separately. complete anabolic and then do aesthetics.
