[@troycastecka1410]

As a dad that lifts, nothing brings me more joy than when my daughters come and “workout” with me in our garage-gym. My three year old is a HOSS and will dumbbell deadlift the 5lbs dumbbells just so she can workout with dad. Side note: ever admire how young children have great natural squat form. Squats are such a fundamental movement for humans. Y’all should all be doing your squats! Best anti-aging exercise there is!

[@katie405]

I think we need a full episode with Justin and sal conspiracy theories and Adam questioning them. Lol

[@mxryj2216]

NO STR8 UP WE NEED THIS EPISODE 😂

[@janfauzt]

UP! WE NEED THIS HAHAHAHA

[@itme7297]

Yesssssss

[@garettbarton1609]

Tackled my alcohol addition two years ago and have listened to you guys everyday! I feel like we’re best friends but have never met lol, finishing up anabolic and can’t wait to get performance, thank you guys you’ve changed everything about working out for me 🎉

[@michaelcozzitortoiii5350]

Nice job man keep it up.

[@courtneyderouen]

Excellent! 💪🏻

[@jamesbondinspector]

Congratulations!

[@robertgarn4769]

Listening to you guys has not only helped my life and training but has vicariously helped my family. Iv convinced all 3 of my younger brothers and even my mom to start resistance training, had to explain all the additional benefits to convince some of them, but about 5 weeks in and I can see the confidence and physical improvements they have experienced! A family that lifts together sticks together! Keep up the great work💪

[@zachthemick1152]

I'm 40 years old, and I've learned more from you guys in the last 2 years, than in the last 20yrs of bro science and bodybuilding magazine education. Thank you guys for what you do! Can't wait to try Anabolic Advanced, sounds like another winner!

[@theejohnnycakes5367]

I think Stallone resonated more with me than Arnold despite arnolds physique. Stallone just was so shredded in rocky and those rocky montages always motivate me and make me wanna lift 💪

[@jwusalla]

I just love listening your podcasts while at work, while working out in the gym, and while at home doing chores or just relaxing. Congratulations on 10 years of the MAPS Anabolic program. More power to you guys and to all working behind the scenes.

[@kirab8923]

So much useful information. I've been watching and listening to this podcast for around a month now and I've learned so much. And even though, at this point, I'm very motivated to exercise already, Mind Pump Show never fails to give me an extra motivation boost. Keep up your fantastic work! 🤩

[@emmamacdonald4882]

Sending love and much appreciation, all the way from Scotland! I have been listening for 3 months now, currently making my transition to becoming a PT. with your much-earned mind pump fitnesses 'wisdom" I can truly say you guys have gifted me so much practical knowledge. I cannot wait to begin earning my fitnesses wisdom on the gym floor, helping people in their health & fitnesses journey. Thank you so much Emma

[@stevenestrada8908]

Been a maps workout user for 8 years. The first Maps anabolic program changed how I worked out for the better. Time lives; congrats on getting to 10 years on maps.

[@gabrielalvarez2889]

Mid 20’s right now and i’ve learned and applied so many golden nuggets from you guys, i’m truly grateful for your presence and eagerness to give back to the community. Also i’m a hard gainer so it’s been a struggle for me gain size with bulks due to my strength specific training, in a tough spot right now financially but when I get up on my legs again, I will very much buy my first program ever online, and it will be the maps anabolic. Can’t wait! Thank you once again guys, we appreciate all of you so much.

[@krisobrien91]

You guys always help me stay focused on my goals, through injury, and all of life’s other sh**, so grateful for you guys 🙏🏼

[@gracescheffler8642]

Love the episodes! Been listening for 3 years and you guys have completely opened my eyes on how to have a sustainable relationship with exercise. Was definitely a cardio/hIIt junkie for many many years before stumbling upon you all. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@jkquinn2010]

Hey guys, 56 yr old Dad here and relatively new listener ( ~ 2 months). Can’t believe how much I’ve learned so far watching and listening. I’m halfway through MAPS Anabolic right now and can’t believe how it’s already showing benefit compared to what I usually do. Scale dropping fast, and dare I say I can see some muscle growing!? Lol. Thanks and keep the good info coming

[@richardcisneros5474]

A lot of people don’t give him credit, but CT Fletcher is the first one I heard talking about imagining the bicep growing with every rep. Fletcher is a great coach and influencer.

[@kb4638]

I grew up watching/spotting for my Dad while he lifted. He had some equipment he set up in the basement. So naturally I started lifting. I was kind of consistent lol but once I hit early adulthood I found pumping iron and would watch that while I worked out. It helped keep me consistent and motivated.

[@janaabelovska5691]

I was thinking for a while to get my first Maps program and then this happened! Can’t imagine a better timing. Only discovered you guys 2 months ago and now I binge watch your YT videos and podcasts all day every day 😂

[@danielceballos9452]

Started listening a few months ago and I am hooked! Best fitness podcast out there!

[@daniellang2315]

Being a better parent by being a better person really hits home. I've got three little ones and although I've always been a pretty patient person, I can tell I'm more easily triggered/agitated when I've not been taking care of myself physically/mentally. That doesn't mean you have to sacrifice time with your little ones in order to take care of yourself, but understanding how little actual 'downtime' of doing nothing or relaxing I actually need has been an important insight. Like trigger sessions or active rest, parenting is similar, we have to be able to find the progress and satisfaction and rejuvenation even when we may be actively doing things all day long. Finding ways to recharge while still pushing forward is monumental. Side note, just tried magic spoon this morning for the first time finally (the fruity one) and I'm hooked! Love the content as always!

[@manu4source]

You guys have not just helped me lose weight.. you've helped me change my lifestyle ❤️

[@manu4source]

Like a bunch of big brothers!!

[@jessicamccollum4009]

Absolutely love you guys! Listen to your videos almost daily while working. Thanks for sharing the amazing content & humor.

[@meisdetermined]

Ladies and gents, I have a tip that hasn’t been discussed on this channel that WILL 100% hit your chest better-take something like the Abmat hip thruster pad and put it on the lower back area of your incline bench. The extra 1 1/2 inches will help your chest stretch further than normal because it can arch back a little better. Start with medium weight and you WILL feel it.

[@AndresX900]

Been listening for a couple years on the podcast app and starting to see you guys on KZbin more. Keep up the good work guys!

[@mdjardinado]

Starting Aesthetic next week and I can't wait! you guys have really helped me stay consistent and I greatly appreciate it!

[@billyzalig3043]

I love this podcast. It’s the best podcast ever. You guys are awesome.

[@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.

[@billyzalig3043]

@@MindPumpShow wow thank you so much

[@codyjosephbennett95]

Excited to run the new program, probably start late this year already about to finish anabolic and about to start OCR. Love the programs and the results.

[@scottbennett3765]

Great episode! Best podcast in the health and fitness space. I recommend it to everyone. Solid perspective and reflection on parenting here. We all do the best we can with the information we know to turn out great children. Even as mine get older, I appreciate hearing new ways to sustain and improve our relationships.

[@mamac2601]

The joint "hmmm" when Adam gave the example of lifting after a fight with his wife had me cracking up. Might as well have shouted Preach Brother! 😂😂😂

[@sag7478]

Love you guys. You guys are making a huge positive impact in the world. I look foward to trying out your program.

[@JayDen-gm7cf]

I'm driving for at least 2 hours a day for work so listening to mind pump is PERFECT for the drive. Get to have a few laughs, a conspiracy tickle here and there and ofcourse, the "Mind Pump" with all the invaluable information. As always, thanks guys 💪🏽

[@Gavin-kl4bp]

Thanks! I appreciate what you guys do. It's just freakin awesome, how many years of training and real life experiences, that you share. You guys rock.

[@SavvyBroadcasting]

It never occurred to me, that your thoughts could play a part and affect muscle growth, Thanks guys for another great show.

[@sethmiller9589]

I knew thinking about muscles could help them grow but I didn’t know that you could take it even further. I also love the fact you bring up that to be a better parent you have to be a better person. Keep it up!

[@theironforce3000]

Doug is on vacation again 🙃 Great opening segment again ✌️ And Kuddos to the editing once more . Very cool adding small clips / pics of what the subject is being talked about.

[@silverpunk2427]

I used to spend all my concentration focusing on my form. Trying to get it perfect but I wasn't putting any focus on targeting the muscle. Now that I've gotten pretty good form on most exercises, I'm finding I can focus on targeting the muscle.

[@kristykinzer607]

I love all of the extra info you give along with the excellent fitness advice!

[@FYFCoach]

I trained with Christine Avanti yeeears ago when she was still in the Bay Area. She used to say things like “see two, get two” to get me to take my reps further. Power of the mind!

[@Bowfisher6363]

Your videos make my morning and afternoon commute fly by and your information and guidance has changed my lifestyle for the better!

[@anabelf87]

I am so happy to hear the first callers concern with training with scoliosis. I too have it and am currently doing Anabolic but have substituted some exercises that I know irritate my back. I’m kicking myself in the butt for not purchasing Symmetry when it was on sale. Also glad I heard the second callers concern with Anabolic’s minimal leg exercises! VERY INFORMATIVE podcast, thank you so much!!!

[@Ceez80522]

Just started listening and I am hooked. Great content. Great motivation. Keep up the great work fellas.

[@mpac418]

You guys are awesome. The best podcast on the internet. I love it you guys give the best fitness advice. I love your programs, and also the conspiracy theories, history, etc. Always a pleasure listening to you guys

[@wendydejesus8155]

You guys are amazing and I’m s beyond excited I found you guys ! I watch you every day !! Life changing

[@Webslinger760]

I'm on my last week of phase 1 of Anabolic. I've seen strength gains for the first time. MindPumps programming is second to none.

[@heathersretirementshenanig6785]

Thanks for another great podcast y'all, so much to learn from you and you're such a riot too. I've been training since September 2022 and I always try to practice mind muscle connection. I practice flexing muscles even when I'm not lifting. I feel like I'm seeing most of my results in my back and shoulders. It's funny I can flex my butt cheeks separately when I'm not lifting but struggle to activate during lifting 😂. I'll keep practicing and get it all down eventually. I'm enjoying Maps Starter Bundle currently. Thanks for all you do!

[@lilabre]

I always visualize killing my workout before I hit the gym (it works!!) and I've definitely hit PRs with no clue as to how much weight I was lifting. As always, you guys are entertaining and educational!!

[@caitlyndonald6564]

I’ve been listening to you guys on apple podcast for about a year and love all your programs! Keep sharing love y’all!

[@ranjitsagoo]

Amazing how after ten years the show is still fresh and relevant as ever!

[@irena-mariequinton3549]

Applying what you guys are teaching me around nutrition and scaling down and seeing the needle move. Thanks gents.

[@anadeem4555]

Help, support or charity can always be given in Kind and not always necessarily in cash. You guys are just doing that through educating all of us and providing free programs through your channel. Stay blessed always.

[@rugbymaycryoneil]

Congrats on 10 years guys. Excited to see the new program. Unfortunately was laid off during the most recent RIF so I can't buy the program but would love to win it.

[@AimfitAu]

Always! Mind over matter, it's like where the mind goes the body follows. Again in time for my workout!

[@judypols5181]

This was such a funny episode, I am laughing like an idiot at my desk with my headphones on.🤣 Justin is very talkative today and I’m here for it 😂

I can't think of a fitness and diet question I've had that your videos haven't answered. Thanks for the great content.

[@John-ud2du]

Really appreciate everything you guys do. Thank you for empowering people of all experience levels to improve their quality of life.

[@reieli87]

3:34 WTF.. This happened to me the other day. I added extra 10kgs to my bench press because I wasn't able to load my workout and decided to go by memory.. I wrote down and compared to my actual plan.. And added 10kgs to each set except for my drop off set... So I went from 75kgs/80kgs/85kgs to 85kgs/90kgs/95kgs.. For 3reps each set 😅 drop off set of 75kgs to RIR of 3. I feel great and safe and strong 💪.. Thank for all the great content I've learned so much on the daily because of Mind Pump podcast. keep it up 😊

[@jonathansalgado9265]

I love the parenting convo. My wife and I are caught up trying to figure how much of our daughters attitude comes from outside influences or our failures or technology and poor development of like Adam said not being able to deal with her feelings because she’s not exposed to them enough. She’s a great kid I just don’t wanna fail because I didn’t ask these questions.

[@TocoaPuffs]

I will listen to this on the ride to work in the morning.

[@bencolopy6788]

I think this is one of may favorite episodes! Made my day!

[@xavierarvizu2838]

You guys have helped me smash new PR’s with your programs. I hit 4 plates on deadlifts with anabolic/performance and 410 on squat from powerlift. Much love to you and the mindpump crew. Keep up the good work. Favorite host is fat faced killa

[@ZachBurney]

Loving all the programs. Can’t wait to get my hands on the new and improved anabolic!

[@VanessaBlanco]

Currently on MAPS anabolic phase 3 and you all keep saying push the intensity…but I’ve noticed since the volume is pretty high, I feel like I have to drop the weight so much because I’m gassed out 😅 I’m feeling pretty weak to be honest as I’ve usually trained in the low rep ranges. How do I know if I’m actually gaining strength/muscle if I have to cut the weight down due to the volume?

[@Proatcod10]

If you can add weight as you go on with the phase . Or you can do 20 reps instead of the 15 of the same weight . Or you can slow the tempo down with the same reps

[@MrSaturdayNightSpecial]

I have a question. I have an odd injury to my right bicep, I went to far, to long and to hard about a year ago or so. The pain only comes when I flex the right bicep in a horizontal way. The first muscle flex most learn. When I contract the muscle and squeeze, pain, just a bit of pain near the crook of the elbow and near the bottom of the short head on the bicep. Is there actually a way to heal this or am I just stuck with it?

[@calvinboone3539]

Thank you for the great entertainment!!! Been working out for awhile now. I sure could use the new maps. Rapper name skid marks. Have a great one gentlemen!!

[@outpost31737]

I've gotten better at the mind muscle connection. I really focus on whatever muscle I'm targeting. Mirrors help I bought a gym mirror it's not glass but reflective material it makes such a difference. Simply going through the motions and you will not grow! Think, prepare, lift, rest :)

[@palangston1]

Absolutely LOVE the Dad talk. You guys are so right on, and I couldn’t agree more that tablets create little demons of our kids.

[@honzordr8517]

Adam is talking about Oklahoma having an NFL team, Justin's rocking Kim Jong-un's line of Vuori, Sal coming in with crazy lightning sound effects and mind control for mucsles!! Yeah, this episode has it all.

[@nrgizer28]

In my opinion as a total spectator and a bodybuilding fan, Adam is totally right about the bodybuilding competitions. The 1980 competition was totally biased. So many others had a better physique.

[@amybrooke45]

Love the show! I listen to it every day when I walk my dogs and tell my trainer about it when I workout so I look super cool!

[@MindPumpShow]

You rock!

[@davidjarzynka4760]

I really like the idea of focusing on muscle squeeze to failure or close to it and then grinding out 2 or 3 more reps focusing on moving the weight. Really neat training idea.

[@garbarnes8569]

Great show guys! Sal defo wins the award for best Arnie impression! Grip strength is limiting my deadlift and mixed grip gives me rhomboid pain so I'm considering using hooks. What would be your advice? Thanks

[@SwiftySanders]

I've started listening to your episodes while working out at my gym. I am currently working on Maps Aesthetics. I am really trying to work on my diet. I have the ability to be absolutely ripped. I have a fat layer I want to get rid of and I want to make sure my body is symmetrical while growing my muscles.

[@kenw30]

Will you still have the classic anabolic for sale? If so, which would you recommend for someone starting out with maps

This episode was hilarious. I loved the stuff about the presidents an Adam's story with his son is my exact same story 🤣

[@gregoryouellette1023]

I’ve learned that mindset for a lift is such a big difference. The difference between a PR weight wise, is the mentality has to be, I’m going to throw this bar threw the roof! However I find very difficult to overcome the nervousness of the lift going wrong, have yet to find a tip or trick to over come that. Did hit a new bench PR on accident as mentioned though! 365 lbs with just wrist wraps,mostly for a mental boost. Want that 405 raw bench!

This is a sweet setup the lights and guitars on point

Kinda unrelated to the episode but do to circumstances I currently have a planet fitness membership due to traveling for all barbell lifts would you recommend the smith machine or doing the dumbbell variants which is gonna give me more Benefit thank you guys love the show changed my whole lifting style
