I take a sip of my protein drink every time Sal says period. Great show guys. I've learned so much the months I've been listening. I'll be trying one of the maps as soon as I can. Thanks so much!

[@CarrieWallace]

I drive 2,000 workers around a construction site listening to you guys and someone always asks who I'm listening to. I love being able to spread your holistic fitness and life advice whenever I can! Great show today.

[@MindPumpShow]

That is awesome! Thank you so much

[@owerluckerkexo8916]

I love you so much guys and your podcasts makes me happy. I use you like pre-workout to change my mood.

[@tobywaggoner4390]

MindPump has changed my workouts, my life, my relationships, my views on multiple topics, and really how I approach challenges in every day life. Amazing group of guys!

[@Jonathan-cz1ll]

The mind pump gospels. Truth in fitness will set you free!

These guys make my day!

[@Camposchris727]

Just recently starting my fitness journey and I really needed this shame convo. I appreciate yall, much love

[@gifbertacook4067]

My body and my thinking has changed since Ive began listening to this podcast

[@repsag1800]

The study by the AHA was terrible. There is no doubt they are connected to large, processed, chemical filled, food companies, and healthy fasting makes for a big problem for these companies. If you are fasting and eating healthy, you are not buying their food... simple as that. I am 54 and two years ago I was almost 270 lbs, I am now 215. I fasted 16/8, some days OMAD, and a few 3 day fasts thrown in. I feel absolutely amazing! At 52 I was ready to accept that I was old. My joints hurt, I took ibuprofen and tums daily, I was a mess. Healthy fasting saved my life, but I did it right. Dr Jason Fung's book was key. I found Mind Pump and have been in the gym 3 days a week since Jan 1st this year. I now fast 7p-7a and eat whole foods only. Thank you Mind Pump. Now I just need to figure out which MAPS to start with.

[@robino941]

The idea of nonviolent communication is so valuable. 💚 I am definitely guilty of being too hard on myself, but I'm working on it!

💪🏿Show time means workout time!💪🏿

[@LatimusChadimus]

Get it! 💪

[@melodyanderson7914]

I needed this after the moment I had yesterday. Thanks so much.

[@nicolehalverson5225]

Thank you for the message! Still working on grace!

[@josephregel1]

Thanks so much for doing the Q&A at the end of the show. They are so helpful!

[@alejandrochusan3145]

Thank you so much for all the knowledge you provide!! Love you guys!

[@claymonaro68]

Happy Easter, such a great show to watch with my loved ones , it started a great conversation. It looks like we are going on a family fitness journey, thanks guys

[@Technico116]

Such a great message about motivation. It's so easy to use guilt as a motivator.

[@bonniephillips5933]

Love the mindset stuff. I'm very consistent with my workouts, but my mindset around food is where I struggle. I'll take any help in that area. Thanks guys!

[@tabithasantos9809]

I heard Sal on Tom’s podcast, I was so impressed I got his book. Wrote his podcast name, subscribed and listened everyday since!

[@Szilvia_Szilvia]

41:08 that's a value judgement statement. I'm on OMAD 95% of the time for more than 5 years & the healthiest & strongest I've ever been.

[@HippityHopity]

I can’t wait for the semiglutide update. I’ve stated mine four weeks ago with the intention to not lose weight, but to turn off the constant “food noise” in my head. So far, it’s been super helpful. No more over eating, cravings are gone and I feel so much more relaxed around food. I’m just not hungry, so I prioritize my protein intake and feel satisfied with my 2000 calories a day to maintain (I’m 5’8” 145lb female) this GLP1 has made it easy for me. Game changer for sure.

[@richardedwards5075]

If every couple who were about to become parents watched your show, it may take a generation but the world would be a much better place…the best part about how you talk about your knowledge is you don’t force it upon us it’s all very natural, you cover such a wide range of topics with brilliant presentation and humour…there’s no better podcast out there, thank you guys🙏🙏

[@christineatkinson3640]

Amen to that! I love walking! I love Hydromassage. I love working out at the Gym. I am slow & weak compared to many at the Gym. If i compared myself to most people I'd probably feel really insecure & feel shame. I overwalked yesterday 28k steps. But i didnt feel tired. At the Gym i felt tired on bike cuz it was lunch & id already done 21k steps. So i lowered my time on bike from 45-30. Then i was no longer tired. Sometimes you have to listen to your body & not overdo it. Yes i walked lots & landed up in a really low caloric deficit. But i wasnt hungry. Im not going to force myself to eat or do anything.

[@youssefmalek4265]

Thank you for all the work you are doing ❤

[@christalthegr8]

Watching this episode whilst trigger sessioning 😄👊🏾

[@NikosDala]

On the point that Adam is making, that this is a natural progression that you have to go through. For the average person, you have to be disciplined for long enough until you change your mindset about your workouts and goals. So trusting in the process for long enough, would probably be the way for most people to go from, unhealthy to healthy way, of looking at fitness. In my opinion of course.

[@julieryan4812]

61 and only just learning the real benefit of resistance training. I'm a typical female and leaned more heavily on cardio with some weights. I've been listening to Mindpump for a few months and initially set my own strength training program following your principles and have now committed to MAPS anabolic. Loving it, I'm definitely leaner, have more energy and I won't mention my sex drive. I have one happy husband. Thanks guys.

[@bryanrisso7508]

Shame brought me to the gym. I met a guy that cared to teach me just a little bit. And i learned to love my time at the gym. And i feel bad when i dont go.

[@jolarocknrolla6015]

being too hard on yourself also leads to being to hard on others. A nice way to put it is "hurt people hurt people" and if you are saying terrible things about yourself to yourself you'll think that way about other people who aren't where you are - you'll either ascribe virtues to fit people that they don't really have or negatives to people who are out of shape, to put a fine point on it, you can get to be more of a jerk. just something i've observed.

[@LatimusChadimus]

You can't properly love&help others if you can't love&help yourself

[@michaelr5606]

People parrot that line all the time but it’s demonstrably untrue.

[@refinethemachine]

It's interesting, when I started training people they will first say it's weird and I realized quickly that the internal shame and perception of what others might think is a limiting factor for a lot of people. It's "weird" to stretch on a job site before working a labor job. It's "weird" to eat healthy, when it's "normal" to eat whatever is served and not discern. Even in their own homes and with friends, they are shamed. I found this way of thinking makes it hard for people to do this alone because they are shamed for doing things to better themselves.

[@thebane5822]

I developed a toxic trait from starting out working through a lot of pessimism/self-hatred while on my own journey of improving my physical health. Now I have no sense of accomplishment when i achieve something like a pr. Im just mildly relieved that its done and keep moving

[@Burkhimself]

I typically eat between 6am & 4pm….seems to help me get up to train and work at 3am. The sooner I stop eating, the easier it is to get up early….no complaints here 💪🏼

[@hayleysilbert4259]

Thanks so much for answering my question! (QUAH 2) - so exciting to hear your thoughts and it’s reassuring to hear I’m not skinny fat. I just started working w a training who has me on 2 upper 2 lower days a week and is helping me get food. I might bring up MAPS anabolic to her and see if we can do that together

[@mattwasMTB]

Someone very close to me has been struggling with weight loss, but has been cutting calories to an unhealthy level and not gotten much exercise in. She is always constantly talking negatively about herself out loud and it is so hard to sit by and watch her struggle. Just waiting for her to come around to the Mind Pump way!

[@wellesleysmith102]

Thank you, Adam, for standing up for '"no men allowed in women's locker rooms"!!!! I'd love to see Adam go in there after that guy! Muscles come in handy sometimes.

[@CptApplestrudl]

I am all for letting trans people live their best life and leaving them alone like anyone else. That being said, it is an internal issue and externally you are still a different gender. It may not be an issue for "you" but potentially for everyone else. If you are bodily a man, go to the men's locker room and vice versa. I don't think this is too much to ask.

[@OctoberOmicron]

lol nice ending there. Like an unexpected after-credits scene.

[@talonlawson]

Justin signing off with a quote needs to be a fixture of the podcast. Legend!

Let’s make it happen

Lol

So happy with my decision to NOT get the jab 🙌

[@cladgreenhero5576]

Good call with the PSA/CYA 😂 I’m still buying into WW, it looks promising

[@frogisco]

Just a comment...at my gym there is a co Ed change room that is also for kids under 12. It's clearly marked to not change clothes, etc in the common area and use the private change room in said locker room to change clothes. Works great

[@jacoblogmet]

Boom

[@EdwinViana]

Powerlift is the way

[@jose.rvmirez]

That ending 😂

Waiting on Adam’s guinea pig experiment on GLP1s 🎉

[@meredithhoward3733]

I truly respect the sentiment of coming at changing your lifestyle from a place of self-respect and appreciation, but I sometimes feel like this messaging reads as "hold off on starting your wellness journey until you've addressed the shame and only feel respect and appreciation for the road ahead". Which is clearly silly. For the love of God, start the process! I agree with Adam; for most, the pipeline of shame-to-appreciation is just what's realistic. In a perfect world, we all reach the point of joy that Sal references, but one could also argue that a fitness journey fueled by shame is better than the fitness journey never started.

[@Jonathan-cz1ll]

There is an organization in my hometown of Kentucky called friends of sinners. They are a drug free faith based rehabilitation center. Despite having the highest success rate in the state, they get zero funding because they are a Christian organization.

[@wilwolf3363]

The woman Sal was talking about is Esther Perel

[@NJD0360]

Random ? Can my creatine be taken with my black coffee in the morning or does it need to be with water?

[@newfiesig]

Shame is also less effective nowadays as many people have less of a sense of personal pride and society celebrates unhealthy habits/laziness. Not saying that all overweight/obese bodies are due to laziness, but many are. Dr. Wayne Norton argues that he used to think obesity was linked to being lazy, but changed his mind once he saw successful, hard working obese people being lazy. I disagree. Laziness comes in many forms. Many fit people are too lazy to put in the work to become successful at business. Some fit people are too lazy to alter their workout when the gym closed, etc. I play a weekly game of ball hockey at work; we run around like crazy chasing a little orange ball. However, when someone shoots the ball into the stands, we are all too lazy to get it, so we grab a new one from our stash and continue running around like we are being chased by a cougar.

Why are you taking Semaglutide?

Sadly the judgement of others on yourself dictates a lot of how people feel in their life.

Shaming never works.

Needs > Wants Amazing overall information however lately it’s like you guys are pushing this soft propaganda

[@ThickasThievesLA]

Which part is the “soft propaganda”?

[@Szilvia_Szilvia]

Minute 42: you're in muddy waters and talking about stuff you really shouldn't. It is absolutely unequivocally possible to get all necessary nutrients into your body on OMAD. But yes, only with eating real food....we just disagree on what that is.

[@Emdizzy813]

Sal, I usually agree with you, but you are dead wrong on a private company’s ability to knowingly endanger children and create an environment rife for child abuse. Love the show, thanks guys.

[@HaLo_Zz]

Thank you for this. 💪🏽🙏🏽🫶🏽
