Why Less Is More In Strength Training | Mind Pump 2344

[@corysstories2.0]

I gave up my college soccer career to become a heroin addict when i was 22. It's been a long(almost)15 years since then. I've been a trainer for almost 5 months. Almost every day for the first month, I woke up wondering what the hell I was thinking, trying to train people. This was my best week so far by a long shot. I haven't been making enough money yet to pursue any new certs on top of the basic CPT, but I think that's about to change. You guys have taught me more than I learned from NASM, and I wouldn't have the clients that I have now if it wasn't for Mind Pump!

[@stephencronin1080]

Amazing, congratulations on that

[@Mercury688]

That’s wonderful. Congratulations! . You could specialize in helping people turn their life around like you did. You could even compare heroin to sugar as far as how addictive they both are. You could help with any kinds of addictions

[@paulpallante3394]

Way to go. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

[@Anonymous68021]

I remember being fearful and full of anxiety about something bad happening to my children. I finally decided to trust God. I prayed for their safety and decided to trust that God loved them even more than me and that no matter what happened, He would provide the grace I need through Jesus. Not that I never was anxious again, but I would turn it over to Him each time.

[@Babygirl71r]

Thank you for this podcast … I went from 6days of week workouts for a 53 yr old woman and now returning to school kills me to not workout but I continue to do something and tell myself anything is better than nothing even just walking the dog over 1 mile

Mike Mentzer knew the path forward for people who 1. Did not have the genetics for recovery and for pro bodybuilding. Do not overtrain your whole life for nothing. Go in. Hit it incredibly hard in a very, very brief amount of time. And get the hell out.

[@bonniephillips5933]

Even when I think something isn't really going to pertain to me, the next thing somebody says is so relatable. I always get something from listening. Thanks a million, guys!

[@fishercad]

love this after years of being inconsistent 3x4 months too heavy burning out getting injured.i now just started learning barbell compounds going back to basics using sals pdf from his book for sets reps and phasing because i cant afford your program yet but loving mindpump info everything i was doing previously was wrong for me too much intensity too much fasting now im focused on eating more gaining strength and energy playing the long game thankyou all for solid advice

[@jeffilli1663]

every dang question starts out with "I dont want to take too much of your time." Then 20 minutes later they ask a 30 minute question.

Great show! Having a hard time getting to the gym these days. Landscaping plus weightlifting is a hard mix. Good to know I should be good with a couple times a week.

[@kyle.plattner]

You convinced me! This is a truth I denied for so long. Thanks Mind Pump for changing my perspectives in the best possible way! Love you guys!

[@briannelson7843]

You guys are the best! I listen to you every day, sometimes multiple episodes a day. Excellent training advice and fun conversations. Mind Pump rocks!

Just finished week one of prephase anabolic and I'm loving it! Had been following nutrition info for awhile before that. Yall helped me cut my bad bloodwork values in half in less than 6 months!! Thank you so much for all that you do!

[@shannonme34]

Overtraining is my biggest weakness. I go to the gym 3-4 days a week and go hard every time. I have so much trouble even taking break days and I am sure this is not good for me 🙄

[@winstonsmith11]

Take 1 or 2 of those days and focus on mobility. That way you can still go to the gym, without overtraining.

[@shannonme34]

Thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate any advice 😉

[@ashleyedwards6036]

I love the original Twilight Zone. I used to watch it with my dad. I love the information you guys dispense. You've taught me so much that I've taught it to other women in my life. I tell them to subscribe to this channel. Thank you for everything!

[@elizabethc4821]

Love this podcast! It has changed my whole perspective on strength training. I am so excited to keep learning as I continue my weight loss journey.

[@CasualLearner]

Please let me win one time!! Solid podcast thanks for the info. I started that new workout app and the volume out the gate is high. I went from one set to failure to that and my recovery is certainly feeling impacted. This is perfect to balance along with some movement in the schedule. A 15-30 min workout with cardio, swim, stretch in a weekly rotation is actually workable.

[@yisel-pq4qc]

I’m so excited for the Muscle Mommy program I’m doing extra shifts hoping I can get it by next month ! Thank you guys the show is the best and I always laugh and learn ❤🧠💪🏼

Great show guys. I am really enjoying MAPS 15. I'm pushing 50 years old, and it has many great benefits besides just the strength & muscle building. It helps me with joint/muscle pain, too (especially lower back pain). Keep up the great work, guys!

I love all your stories and your content is amazing! I have learned so much and am putting some things into action. But in the kindest way.. Sal can you please stop cutting the other 2 guys off mid sentence so they can finish lol. I love what you all have to say and would love to hear the end of their sentences to get their full thoughts. You guys are all so amazing and I love to soak up everything you all have to say. I am a huge fan of you Sal but getting to know Adam and Justin during this podcast is super fun. Love this podcast!

[@theironforce3000]

To chime in on what the guys are saying regarding the Twilight Zone series, yes the original one from the '50s is extremely and highly recommended for all those who keep an eye on the news/ question what's happening behind the curtains/conspiracy theories, etc . Rod Serling was a clairvoyant writer with those early seasons of TW. Many episodes reflect in what has been happening in recent times . The first two seasons are very long, nearly 30 episodes each! But so damn good ⚡ I rewatched all of them on the Amazon Freeve app channel . I'm sure it can be fun other platforms, too.

[@sharonphillips3700]

RGB baby! I binged your shows! 🎉

[@LatimusChadimus]

Since going down from 4 training days down to 3, I've definitely seen better progress, better recovery, especially since I get that fourth day of active recovery work which includes a lot of transverse plane training+conditioning

[@etienneeunson6993]

I'm new to Mind Pump after my girlfriend introduced me to this podcast, I've always been scared of gaining weight but since I started Maps Anabolic, I've seen tremendous muscle gains and I eat more than I've ever eaten all thanks to this podcast. ❤

[@keithplusthree]

Follow up question in regards to the sciatic/piriformis issue. What workouts can I do if any to avoid future issues other than mobility? And what workouts can I do for now? I have the same issue as her

[@justingriffin7127]

I don't think I've had a decent night of sleep since my 1st kid was born. That was over 8 years ago. We were so inundated w/ the fear mongering of SIDS that I was constantly waking up to make sure he was still breathing. Just haven't ever recovered.

[@MrTraveller.]

Great content, valuable advice & channel. Thanks Guys 🇹🇼

[@2ndstreetmarvel]

💪🏿I’ve been doing 6 days a week because I had the time, and was able to manage my recovery. I’m getting ready to back it down to 3 days a week as I begin to put in more miles on my bicycle. Come July and August I’ll probably only be doing light workouts to maintain during peak riding season. At least I keep telling myself I’ll do this one year. I always end up just riding and neglect my lifting, but what can I say when I’m riding 300 miles a week?🤷🏿‍♂️

[@carperdiem8754]

Twilight zone is one of my favorite shows ever!

[@installinggames5135]

Gimme the bundle please!! You guys are 🔥!

[@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821]

I agree the original twilight zone song use to scare me as a kid. I use to hate horror movies as a kid as a teenager i got into horror movies. The horror genre is a genre ive hungout with the last 15 years of my life. Derek jeter was and still my favorite baseball player.

[@TheSime0n]

Another great episode! My degree probably has a similar ROI compared to biology degrees. I have an environmental science degree and a lot of the jobs overlap with biology jobs, pay poorly or are seasonal, and have very little turnover in the higher paying positions. On the topic of environmental science, past temperatures are calculated using proxies. These include ice cores and the ratio of oxygen isotopes, tree rings, borehole, lake and ocean sediments, and a few others. All of these proxies are calibrated against independent temperature measurements and then used to calculate past temperatures!

I've been doing strength training for 5 consistently. And I have been melting off fat

[@ryandeffley7652]

An 18-hole round of golf is about a 5-mile walk, and the bag is 20-25lbs fully loaded. But even still, there are a lot of stops with friends. So I'm honestly surprised that he gets that worn out from 2-3x per week in tandem with just two full body lifting workouts. He may actually do well adding in some zone 2 max incline treadmill walking (not holding on) for 20-30 min after he lifts to build up a bit more work capacity and general fitness.

You absolutely can. Simply follow the program as is when it comes to exercise selection, sets, and reps. If there are 8 exercises in one session, do 4 exercises and the other 4 the next day.

[@RE71476AD]

To add, regarding research papers and subsequent alarmist headlines ("warmest for 2000 years"), funding requests for research is often much more successful if the researcher has something alarmist or on-trend in the title of the proposed research. E.g. something on gender divide (usually how bad men treat women etc); AI; climate change etc are pretty much guaranteed funding no matter how stupid it might be....and the more alarmist the better since it is then more likely to capture the news headlines and therefore advertise the research institute/university.
