MindPump exposes the RAW TRUTH about health, fitness, nutrition and more... Hosts Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer & Justin Andrews pull back the curtain on the mythology, snake oil and pseudo-science that pervades the fitness industry and present science-backed solutions that result in increased muscular development and performance while simultaneously emphasizing health. No fitness institution or fitness "truth" is safe from their quick wit and over 40 years of combined experience in the fitness industry. Produced by Doug Egge. Find Mind Pump and the Mind Pump hosts on Instragram @mindpumpmedia, @mindpumpsal, @mindpumpadam, @mindpumpjustin & @mindpumpdoug and at mindpumppodcast.com.

All squats matter. (1:42)
Squats, the king of exercises. (3:11)
What makes something a ‘squat’? (6:19)
The 4 Types of Squats Everyone Should Be Doing
#1 - Traditional Squat (Pros: heaviest load, biggest muscle builder, Cons: injury risk). (7:30)
#2 - Front squat (Pros: great for posture, great for quad strength, Cons: less posterior chain, hard to learn). (15:38)
#3 - Split squat (Pros: very athletically functional, great pelvic stability, Cons: less load). (21:11)
#4 - Cossack squat (Pros: lateral strength, Cons: incredibly low load, requires lots of mobility). (27:34)

2348: How to Build Wide Shoulders, Macros Vs. Calories for Fat Loss, the Best Peptide for Recovery & More
In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer four Pump Head questions drawn from last Sunday’s Quah post on the @mindpumpmedia Instagram page.
Mind Pump Fit Tip: When it comes to fitness, more is NOT better. (2:18)
Do kids act differently with mom than dad? (9:38)
The selling point of having PE in school. (17:37)
Why regulations to protect kids are necessary. (23:08)
Virtual vs. the real world. (26:44)
Fun Facts with Justin: Why Beethoven went deaf. (33:17)
You can patent anything! (37:19)
Hair and fashion rules. (41:30)
Important updates with Transcend/MP Hormones. (45:32)
Shout out to Mind Pump Live! (47:57)
#Quah question #1- I’m not feeling lateral raises much in my side delts, what can I do to activate them and see progress again? (49:01)
#Quah question #2 - To lose fat is it all about calorie deficit or is it about macros? (51:24)
#Quah question #3 - What's the best peptide for just overall body soreness/healing? Depending on the MAPS program I’m doing, I train BJJ 2-3 times a week and strength train 3-5 times. (54:31)
#Quah question #4 - People come on as live callers saying they have followed you guys for years, and follow up by saying stuff like, “I eat 1600 calories a day”, “I run 15 miles a week” or “I weigh myself every morning”. Why do you think people can hear you speak all this knowledge so often and just don’t get it? (58:42)

Great Fitness Podcast
If you’re into building muscle and burning fat and getting healthier. This is the entertaining podcast for you.
Only drawback is the intro/ad voice and the guitar which makes me want to commit murder...
Best Training advice on the internet
As the title states, these guys have the best training advice in the internet imo.
I’ve been working out for ten years now and the advice I get from Mind Pump is by faaaar the best advice I’ve ever gotten.
Not only do they focus on building muscle and getting the body you want. But more importantly, how to make this into a lifestyle that you can continue to the day you die. They really focus mostly on the whole human and not only superficial things like looks, which is a very welcomed change of pace from the rest of the fitness industry.
Their detailed and easy to understand way of conveying information has been a true god sent.
I still continue to recommend this podcast to everyone who is interested in health and fitness.
I’ve been running MAPS STRONG and am currently in week 10 (phase 3) and I’ve never felt weight training like this before. I’ve never felt better in my own body and this is just evidence that these guys know what they are doing.
Once a Pump Head, Always a Pump Head.
Much love and appreciation from me to all these guys! 💪💪
Lots of love
So, I’ve been listening to the podcast since I was 16-17 years old. In October, I’ll be turning 22, and I cannot even start to explain not only how much I have learned, but also how much the podcast has helped me mentally! I have improved to much in both my physique, strength and mindset. I feel like I have 4 cool uncles to talk to every day. Big fan girl:P
Thank for everything!
Julia
