Stop Focusing on LOSING WEIGHT, and Start Doing THIS Instead | 1801

[@CopelandPaulB]

I used to avoid squats, deadlifts, and the big complex movements because I was scared of doing it wrong. Your videos have given me confidence to do it all, and I am loving it!

[@lukepecoraro3770]

Recently stumbled upon this podcast. The general knowledge I've obtained from personal trainers, other KZbin videos, forums on how to lose weight goes against everything I've learned from this podcast but guess what? I'm up 12 pounds in muscle and down 9% body fat because of the knowledge I've gained from this podcast. Eating more calories, and building muscle is shredding the fat off of my body and I would have never gone this route if it wasn't for this podcast. Everything else I've tried just didn't work or wasn't sustainable. Thank you guys for your helpful information! Goodluck to everyone in their journey!

[@TomCaliendo]

Can you share what it was that was helpful?

[@lukepecoraro3770]

@@TomCaliendo sure! Learning that I need to speed up my metabolism and in order to do so I need to eat more calories. Staying in a calorie deficit and cardio will only get me so far but in order to focus on losing fat I should eat more and lift weights/build muscle. And ITS WORKING!

[@TomCaliendo]

@@lukepecoraro3770 that’s funny, I’ve been told my body is “in survival mode” and holding onto fat. Suggestions were to eat more (on top of your training)

What is your base line calories? Maintenance calories??

[@shannadayton6425]

This video pretty much describes me. I'm 5'2" and around 215 Ibs. Medically I'm told I need to weigh 130ish Ibs to be healthy. I've been doing a powerlifting routine consistently 4x a week since December. I do cardio for an hour a few times a week and also do some hiking on the weekends. My weight hasn't really changed at all, but I've lost a whole jeans size since December. I can actually see the muscle gain. My butt has completely changed in shape. I actually feel my butt muscles when walking. I can flex my chest muscles and biceps which I couldn't do before. A few weeks ago I put my body weight scale away so I don't get frustrated and derail my muscle building progress.

[@Marx1963]

Been listening the last year. Lost lot of weight prior too (240 to 182lbs)lots lean weight also . Since listening I’ve gained 8lbs of lean mass back (muscle memory I’m sure helped) my waist size dropped to 32 from 34. Scales don’t tell the whole truths -Abs and bear claws at 58 ,5’11” 190lbs lean ! Thanks for what you do 👊

[@erniesweat2279]

60 year old who just found you guys in the last month. This conversation is exactly where I am in my journey. I am focusing hard on being strong and healthy going into retirement but the gains are so slow in coming. Trying hard to focus on consistency and the results will come. Thank you so much for the daily encouragement and coaching.

[@MarcosLopez-nv8xn]

I've been listening to you guys for awhile, since September last year. At the time I was 346 pounds and really desperate to lose weight. After awhile of listening to mind pump I've started anabolic. In honesty I couldn't keep myself consistent on the program for awhile but the last month and a half I finally was able to not miss any days. Right now I'm 326 pounds and I feel stronger than I ever have. I never thought at my weight I'd be able to do push ups but now i can do 13 push ups out in one go. Thanks lots for the advice 👍

[@nygiantschamps9340]

Way 2 go bud keep it up👍

[@ashleykrieg962]

My husband and I have been listening since the beginning of the year, incorporating several concepts we’ve heard on the channel into our daily routines. We came here for the fitness advice but I wanted to call out the good vibes I always leave with on family values. You guys make parenting and prioritizing family sound cool - such a positive message in a society often focused on the superficial. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@mlogic83]

Preface: I'm a big mind pump fan. I run a modified version of MAPS anabolic. On Live Listern Q1, I know the question was around optimization for someone already on TRT... But I wonder how many young people listen to MP on this topic and start going down the rabbit hole of thinking they need hormone therapy. 25 years old is REALLY young for a process that can have life altering changes (good or bad). Even with a good doctor guiding you, this is still unknown territory for modern "science". TRT seems like the kind of topic that one would need multiple opinions from multiple doctors to be sure on. I guess it just gives me pause because the topic is nuanced and Sal gives a quick rundown on the benefits without giving equal time and consideration to the downsides. Because of Mind Pump, I decided to get my testosterone tested because of Sal's comment on the "epidemic" of Low T in men, and turns out I'm someone who runs outside the normal high ranges for T. They even asked me to come in and retest, and passed the results by an endocrinologist. All I'm saying is that Sal influenced me to get tested because I was worried I might be one of those people. I figure myself a pretty smart guy in his late 30's, but I was influenced and worried. Even Dr. McClain acknowledges that its tough to define the long term side effects of TRT (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYa9nYyPZayYrrs). All I'm saying is that it would be helpful to people if you offered an opposing point of view. Someone to challenge your notions here, and from what I've heard from the podcast (I listen to almost all of them), you're generally in favor of as a group. Perhaps the long terms cons don't outweigh the short term pros... Perhaps people in the weigh lifting community are apt to suffer from issues like body dysmorphia, and instead of challenging the perception that they NEED to be bigger, they look for solutions to a nonproblem.... Perhaps a young man in his 20's should commit himself to a long term weight training protocol and better diet before entertaining TRT?

[@eevert76]

Congratulations Sal, having a big family is one of the most fun and awesome things you can do, I have five kids, 4 boys and 1 girl, ranging from 26 to 15.

[@jameslarsen1086]

I'm going to insist that you all invoke Doug's voice more often. The man exudes wisdom.

[@joeldarroux7279]

Keep this content coming guys! Very inspirational, started my fitness journey a few weeks back after several prior attempts, after watching some of your videos, I switched my training to a strenght programme (stronglifts), eat at maintenance and I've been having a great time! The scale is just about the same but I feel amazing. This is week 8 to be exact so looking forward to month 8! Thank you for the perspective. Makes things much easier to stick.

[@briandolan576]

This has been the hardest thing to comprehend in my journey. I've yo yo dieted using calories in and calories out just really effing myself up but since I found you no more. You all are the holy grail of fitness. Been running anabolic and going to string afterwards and cannot wait! Thanks for all you do!

[@khayriesniper3722]

Always looking forward to your podcast. For me at age of 43, I been training for 30 years. Its always been the same procedure for me to lose weight and get ready for summer. A galon of water, good sleep and then lift weights for 3 months 5 days a week. Eat well and clean but no diet. Maintenance calories. From then and on just add 30 mins cardio every morning for a month and body fat melts off because of all my muscle. If anyone does that and don't look great after 4 months then he done it wrong.

[@mindofvalue4577]

Yo guys, thanks again! I believe this is the most frustrating part of it all. I'm disciplined, and I started working out consistently etc. I see my weight staying the same (don't give a sh*t about the scale). Meanwhile strength goes up and probably I'm changing my body composition. Yet the temptation to just starve myself is there and lurking. I'm not as lean as I would prefer yet.. Gotta be patient here. You help people stay on track.

I’m going through this right now, i have a set goal weight and set BF%. my last two InBody results have shown a drop in body fat but gain in lean mass. My weight hasn’t changed in 2 months but I’m progressing in the right direction. Realizing the “weight” doesn’t matter so much anymore. It’s all about how you feel and how your clothes fit.

Watching This channel has been the first thing I do in the morning for such a month now!♥️ I've been liftin' weights for 2.5 years by now And tried to learn alot of things throughout these years Anyway What I learned by the end of previous month with your videos is much more! I live in syria Where like we have nothing to live with We barely eat everyday We don't have electricity but couple of hours a day But I believe working out and learning more about bodybuilding is a way to get me out of this kind of life. Now I'm trying to prepare for a show after 30 days all natural. With about 2$ a day "And I make 2$ a day with 6 hours work beside of my med school." Wish me all luck guys♥️

[@nathanadams9551]

Just found this Chanel and can not believe what I have learned in a short period of time. I’ve only been listening for about 2 weeks and I have already increased in arm size and I am visible leaner. The best thing that the scale hasn’t went down. All by taking y’all’s advice. I have increased my calories and I am working out less. Before I started listening I would have thought that was crazy but the way y’all explain it makes so much since. Thank y’all for all y’all do!

[@kelsimayfieldojeda]

I’ve learned so much from you guys. I have been consistently strength training for 4 months and staying steady with calories and my weight has only gone down 2 lbs but my clothes fit better, my strength is getting better and people keep asking if I’m losing weight. I’m excited to see the fat come off over the next few months.

[@troyharrington7043]

I was so proud of my friend when he told me he takes his measurements and doesn't focus too much on the scale anymore! It's a hard sell to people to stop worrying about the number on the scale so much. Thanks for all the info as usual guys!

[@rufuslacue435]

The intro to this video is exactly what happened to me. I gained six pounds but went down in body fat percentage. Not knowing what that meant I was initially distraught. After it was explained to me that I gained the weight in muscle I was put in a whole other mind state so I decided to do some research of my own. That's how I came across you guys and have been watching and learning for nearly three months now.

[@jeleon28]

I love you guys ! I started watching and listening to all your podcast episodes about a month ago and you have no idea how much you have change my perspective on weight loss and muscle gain I’m 5’2 200 pounds and for the 1st time in my life I’m not on a caloric deficit and I feel human again I already feel better and I’m trusting in the system that the weight loss will come with the proper program thank you 😊

[@melissa7122]

I've increased my calories because of listening to these podcasts. You've convinced me to gain strength and let my body do the fat loss on its own instead of cutting calories to lose the weight then gain the strength

[@LUKA_911]

How's it going so far?

[@Lawrence_xx]

I changed my fitness routine from heavy on cardio to heavy on resistance training after listening to your show. I have struggled not to have a strong reaction to seeing the weight on the scale go up. I can see the results when I look in the mirror though. I pretty much limit the amount times I weight myself so avoid changing course in the wrong direction. I'm glad you're shining more light on this topic.

Just from watching your show from Q4 last year, I increased my Deadlift from 100kg to 160kg. Squat from 60kg to 95kg. Bench from 50kg to 85kg. Tips on nutrition and lifting cues really helped. Looking forward to looking good booty bone naked!

Lost 40lbs and only 15 from my goal. Love listening to you guys!

[@NathanStripling]

I never wanted to be over 185 lbs. I'm now 195 lbs but look and feel better than I thought I would at this weight. Utilizing mini cuts on a long bulk cycle is helping me lean out. I now use the scale as a metric rather than the sole measurement of my progress and it feels great!

[@dcrwly1084]

Just starting my second phase of MAPS Split.... before this I was running the Nick Bare Hybrid Athlete 3.0 plan which was great but there so much running. I love to run but my current goals are more focused around building strength. In just 4 weeks my DL jumped 50 lbs, Squat jumped up 35 lbs and my bench and ohp jump up 15 lbs. i've also maintained my current weight on the scale without all the cardio, focusing on getting in my protein!! love listening to you guys everyday and learning... thanks for all the great content!!

[@tiffandtimcostello3260]

As a 45 yo mother that has 8 children ranging in age from 4-19, I have tried it all over the years to manage my weight. Honestly, in my experience, I’ve never suffered much from being overweight outside of pregnancy, but I have battled the persistent loss of muscle mass when dieting and using cardio as a weight loss tool. I was the typical “skinny fat female” for decades, but since I’ve started a legitimate strength barbell program, I am eating way more than I ever had, lost fat, and gained so much muscle mass. These guys know their stuff and I am so grateful to have these podcasts to listen to because there is so much nonsense out there that doesn’t apply to the average fitness goer. Thank you for all that you do and all of the time and effort you put into this podcast as I have personally come to depend upon your advice because I, as many, can’t afford to hire a PT or even but most programs out there. Keep up the good work!

[@luckyducky224]

I've been on a fitness journey for 10 years and every "before" picture I've taken looks the same (or close to) the progress photos. I was developing eating habits that I had no idea were killing my metabolism--even with all of the videos I'd watched, articles I'd read and research I'd done. Everything kept pointing back to "move more, eat less" but eating was never my problem (well, not in the way I thought). I hate asking for help (even though I advise others to do it) so I finally decided to get help from someone and I should have followed my gut instinct when I got her meal plan and told her "no". She was a bikini competitor so I thought "she's gotten where I want to get, so she should know the right way to do things". Wrong. On a separate note, I was in the exact scenario you guys first talked about--lost 12lbs and it was almost all muscle. I wish I had found you guys sooner. I've been watching your videos non-stop for the last few weeks and have already seen a difference in training that I hadn't before. I really appreciate the information; keep up the great work!

Hey Sal, Adam, Justin and Doug, I've been listening to your content for over two years now and am now very familiar with your approach to optimal fat loss, where you focus on building muscle first and building your metabolism before actually dropping weight (or maybe even staying the same).

I ran track in high school and was a very skinny guy. I had such little muscle, had a really hard time gaining muscle, and didn't realize that actually gaining muscle could help me in running. I don't run anymore, but the lack of muscle continued into adulthood.

I had no idea that big of a change was possible so quickly.

I love listening to you guys. I played D1 softball- we soley focused on compound lifts and I ate like… a ton. But I was really strong and built a lot of muscle and felt amazing even though I would’ve been 15lbs heavier back then. Enter normal adulting and trying to get back into shape without a coach who is programming for you. There’s so much information about getting in shape and staying in shape and the internet is full of over complicated body building splits/exercises. But you guys really validated what I already knew to be true- lift some heavy stuff, rest, stretch and eat reasonably and everything takes care of itself. The scale is irrelevant 😂

I’m like 80% sure I know what my low T is from…A football injury in which I made the poor choice of not wearing a cup. Didn’t notice anything then but when I look back, there evidence that leads to that. But non the less, I appreciate the help you guys gave me. I think I already knew the answer, but really wanted to hear it from the professionals.

Thanks to you guys and your valuable information, I have changed my approach to my training. I have recently been building muscle focusing on the core lifts and less cardio and HIIT. Making progress! 👍🏽 Love the podcast! 😊

Love the content. I have this issue of gaining some muscle rather than fat loss

Really grateful to hear this. Ive been advised to do 1 hr cardio a day to lose 20lbs. I began this along with a calorie deficit and didn’t see results. I switched to lifting and increased calories since that has worked for me before and started losing weight and seeing muscle development. Its also great to know that the body arranges hormones too, the cardio would have made T issues worse when I need it increased.

Congrats Sal on the next little one! As for the cameras, my daughter was 4 and my son was 2.5 when we removed their baby cams. We didn't want our kids to think it was normal to have a camera on them at all times for their day to day life. In hindsight we could have removed them even earlier than that.

I just finished Green (and holy sh*t am I moving better - like a freakin panther baby!!!) Black would be perfect timing! Not to mention, I ran Green for a longer time period because I loved Phase 2. It’s like the stars have aligned! As if finding you four hasn’t already changed my universe!!! Keep up the great work and thank you for all you do fellas!!!
