The BEST ADVICE On Bulking and Cutting (START DOING THIS!) | 1804

[@famehilal]

I’m not the biggest guy in the gym, I’m not the strongest guy in the gym, I’m not the leanest guy in the gym. BUT I am the biggest I’ve ever been, I’m the strongest I’ve ever been, and I’m the leanest I’ve ever been. Thank you guys for helping me fall in love with the journey rather than comparing myself to everyone.

I’m 19 and I’ve been listening for about 6 months now and now I’m almost done with my CPT course I’ve learned so much from MP I’m excited to finally get into training!

[@sylmg]

If nothing else….. this podcast has helped me understand that carbs and calories are not the enemy. The nuggets of advice in these shows are extraordinary.

[@aj7907]

Eager to win the RGB bundle :) Adam, Sal, Justin and to the rest of the mind pump team - You have been instrumental in changing my thought patterns about working out and fitness in general. 1. Cardio: I was a huge cardio guy, who thought that cardio was the only effective way to lose weight and fat. The more cardio I did, the better. You absolutely shattered this belief when you explained about strength training and building muscle mass, which in turn would increase metabolism leading to faster fat loss. 2. Full body workouts: I was told by my 'trainers' that bro splits and pushing yourself to failure on every set was the only way to get big muscles. No pain, no gain right!? You explained about effectiveness of Full Body workouts and how they're beneficial for the average person, because the more frequency, the better the muscle responds, rather than intensity. Also, I love "Leg exercises" finally because I can walk after a full body workout now! 3. Nutrition: You explained about mini cuts, mini bulks and how to cut effectively by maintaining an adequate amount of protein intake. Consuming a gallon of water each day, and most importantly sleeping for 7-8 hours for our bodies to recover fully. Thanks to you, I've been training in the gym consistently for 5+ months now. I tried to workout earlier but couldn't go pass a month, as I used to lose motivation. You explained about having dedication, and just working out even if for 30 mins. Love you guys, and thanks for all the knowledge that you've shared with us all. I've been binging your content since the past couple of months and can't wait for your next videos to drop!

True, I was a cardio freak too, and mind pump has changed my relationship to cardio, I'm now more strength focused!

[@thenfppodcast]

I’m 8 months post-partum with my twin boys and have gained muscle and lost body fat by eating more, lifting heavy, and doing less cardio! Thank you MP for shaking up my previous false beliefs about exercise and body weight and health!

[@tracyhart706]

I'm in the UK. I find some of your content (political etc) isn't so relevant but I still watch the whole episode because you guys are so entertaining, you have a great rapport with each other 😂 your advice and knowledge helps me massively, thank you.

[@maryssaann]

Just found out this week we’re expecting baby number four! I was very blessed to have to have only tried for a few months with my husband ❤️ I credit it to my good health and healthy lifestyle in part thanks to Mind Pump! First trimester has got me so tired but still hitting the gym three days a week and doing more hypertrophy work with leaving plenty in the tank. Really listening to my body has been a challenge since I was doing such heavy lifting for progressing for so long. Still keeping my calories up to maintain the muscle while I scale back. I will continue to train the entire pregnancy god willing 😁

[@thenfppodcast]

Congratulations Maryssa! I hope you can keep lifting throughout pregnancy! I had twins last September and I was able to lift until I delivered! It makes labor and birth so much better!

[@ericmiller8139]

The content just keeps getting better and better. You guys are so helpful in clarifying fitness for so many people. Thank you.

[@jesuscaudana835]

My first time listening but it won’t be my last. So much wisdom shared on this channel. Definitely got my mind pumping 🤯💪🏼

[@bushfamily12345]

My husband showed me you guys a little under a year ago now & we always listen separately to compare our take always from your podcasts & videos! The complexity of the information you share at such a simplistic & digestible way has profoundly impacted how both him & I view different aspects of implementing techniques & approaches !! Quality value with great humour 😝 thanks loads guys!!

[@bigpicturegains]

I want to thank the Mind Pump team 🙏 You have all helped me stop being so phobic about allowing myself to eat enough to fuel my body. I was doing low calorie for a few years, eating around 2,000 calories a day. I’m now starting to see how counterproductive and harmful to my overall health my past habits were. Now focusing on hypertrophic training while feeding myself well, around 4,000 calories a day. Night and day difference! Growing like a weed in all the right ways! Long-term starve yourself diets to achieve a body composition are truly the enemy.

[@michellexlalic]

Devouring all the videos in mind pump since 2 weeks ago. Learning so much even though I’m not new to fitness. Been working out for 8 years but after following some of the tips from the videos, I’m already seeing the improvements. Mentally not just physically 🙏🏻

[@carloscontreras4440]

You guys have completely changed the way I look at fitness. Thanks for all you do and keep up the good work.

[@gfitfitnessstudio]

I’m SO grateful for the three of you! I’ve been binging Mind Pump for the past few months and, not only have you rekindled my fire as a Personal Trainer of 20 years, but you’ve convinced this 53 year old to move away from calorie restriction and try my first actual bulk after over 30 years of strength training! Thank you…THANK YOU!! 💛💛💛

[@brettnugentpt313]

As a personal trainer approaching his 50s this year, I am thoroughly enjoying Maps Prime pro and Maps symmetry. Addressing mobility and imbalances has been a great focus for me as I have been diagnosed this year with lower right abdomen inguinal hernia. I think this is a result of ignoring a 30 year right knee arthritis issue, and training in different sports without addressing it. Maps Symmetry is highlighting the weakness in my right leg and hip and I love it. Truly humbled. As I progress, I am looking forward to putting on muscle in my 50s with your programs, and would love the combo you guys are giving away. Love from the Gold Coast in Sunny Queensland, Australia!

[@djs134]

I made the mistake back in 2017 when I started intermittent fasting to drop lbs, I was sticking to a 16/8 all the way up to a 20/4 and had amazing weight loss results. Unfortunately, I didn’t come across the info about strength training while cutting so I ended up at 170lbs 6’2 and a dad bod. Now the up side is I managed to make a lifestyle change in the years since and managed to fluctuate between 170-178 lbs. I started weight training in January and have seen amazing results since, “newby gains” . Just really wish I came across your channel back then. Unfortunately, good information is way to hard to find. Your channel and Sean Nalewanyi, have made a huge difference in my fitness journey. There needs to be a better way for newer weight training people to sort thru these channels, and get to the few good ones. Love the channel boys, keep up the great work. 💪🏻

[@woody558]

Found y’all a year ago through a random KZbin clip and listened to every episode since. The truth can’t be stopped 👑

[@garyseaward605]

I love your guys content, it’s priceless. I have never worked out in my life until 9 months ago started. I’m 36 years old. Down 60 lbs now but still not lean. Could really use 1 of your programs to get me to my goal. I wish I had heard of you guys when I started exercising, probably would have done it different than I did the first 6 months. Crash dieting and extreme cardio, but now shifted to just lifting weights and trying to rebuild my metabolism. You guys are great. A treasure trove of exercise knowledge

[@jamesg1974a]

Crash dieting is bad. You need a conscious nutrition change that is sustainable. Get MyFitnessPal and start tracking. Consistency is key.

Yea, I wish I had did it differently as I did. Now focusing on strength training and rebuilding my metabolism.

So far I have anabolic, aesthetic, butt mod, and got the April bundle with the primes. I prefer when you three demonstrate and narrate the exercises.

Hey guyz..just wanted to let you know I benefited tremendously from your videos and I can’t thank you enough…my goal at the beginning of the year was to just lose weight but since stumbling on your channel in February, I changed tactics completely..I am 6ft3 and weighed around 265pounds in January..I started with a drastic calorie deficit and eating only 1800 to 2000 calories a day..while I lost some weight(251), I did not notice big changes in my physique..I started lifting weights again after a 2 year hiatus(covid) and increased my calories to around 2800-3000 calories…weight went back up a little bit but boy oh boy the difference in my physique is just astonishing..note I have been fit before and used to be around 10% bodyfat and muscle memory as you said is a wonderful thing…I will continue down that path for the next 3 months and make some tweaks here and there on my training regimen..thank you guyz!!! You are really a game changer in the fitness industry!!!

[@kdaddy9229]

When I was working as a trainer I would always preach the importance of focusing on building muscle and getting stronger. I would always get a lot of resistance from clients who wanted to “tone up” with high reps circuit training or excessive calorie restrictions. It’s such a tough idea to get into peoples heads that they should focus on building more muscle/getting stronger and eat accordingly if they’re wanting to lose weight. So many people want to focus on “now” results rather than setting themselves up to maintain results later. You guys do a great job of getting that message across and I’m glad you guys are out there doing the damn thing.

[@jonathanbarrera5310]

I've been lifting for the better part of a year and 2 weeks in from the free maps anabolic on KZbin and I see changes in my body. Honestly I was skeptical beacuase I was in the ida that I had to go ham everyday but those trigger session are helping🙌

[@pauldavid2887]

Don’t make “perfect” the enemy of “better.” -Sal The only person I need to beat is the Man in the mirror. He is smarter than me, better looking, faster, stronger, has more endurance, he’s never wrong, his diet is on point, he sleeps better and he’s always 10 steps ahead of me. As long as I’m striving to beat that guy in the mirror, I will reach the level he is at but by then, he’s going to be another 10 steps ahead, always providing new goals. I am always striving to better myself and satisfied knowing I can always get better at something.

This is always the first thing I watch to start my routine each day. So glad you covered this topic. When caller Michelle called in and you mentioned the 3 week cut and short bulk I have found this is getting great results for me. I maintain a slight deficit for 3 weeks and the week before my monthly cycle I have horrible cravings for carbs and sweets so that is when I do my bulk to reset everything. So far this is helping me a lot and not binging at all in the 3 week cut because I don't have the hormones making me want to binge and my body got its stores built back up.

[@kadimagratitude583]

I went to take my CPT and failed it by 5 points. Im disappointed about the exam is that most of the stuff is out dated and I just learn much better when I perform a movement and understand the body better too. Then I found you guys and I learned much more than me reading that thick textbook. Obviously CNS is important and how to body moves, what moves first. But the questions on the exam they don’t ask about CNS. The exercise questions they ask are ridiculous and I have never seen a personal trainer use the exercises from the text book. They need to update to today’s science .

[@titantic26]

I've been so confused on this whole bulking/cutting thing. I'm not sure if I'm skinny fat or just have more fat to get off me. I'm 5'3, 127lbs but I still see belly fat. I managed to lose a lot of weight over the last year & I'm well aware that you can't spot reduce. This is so confusing. I cut down on the cardio as I was doing 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week & 30 mins of light weight lifting. In January I increased weight lifting to about an hour & 15 mins of cardio, 5 days a week. But my mind is fighting against increasing nutrition although I did increase protein to a gram per body weight. Lately I've slowly started to increase my calories to around 2000 cal per the indirect advice from these guys, Lol. Pray for me because I'm scared but I do feel they are the most genuine I've seen on KZbin outside a few others.

[@andyxprophet]

You sound like you’re on the right path! Eating 2k calories as a woman is a good sign. Is your weight going up or down or staying the same? At your weight, I would recommend you do a small bulk and keep weight lifting. You’ll see the scale go up but you won’t gain a ton of fat. Do like a 3-4 month bulk then reevaluate. If you’re getting stronger and haven’t put on much fat, keep going for another 3-4 months. This excess amount of calories will raise your metabolism and will make cutting that last bit of belly fat much easier! That being said, women tend to store a bit of fat around the reproductive organs so you could be battling Mother Nature. The amount of cutting that it would take to get it off could put you in the unhealthy lean area. Good luck! Sounds like you’re doing great!
