Welcome to the Mental Muscle-Up Podcast, the no-BS show that is the cure for Male Mental Masturbation.
If you're a podcast junkie, self-improvement buff, and fitness fanatic like me, then this podcast is for you.
To quote Derek Sivers, “If more information was the answer, then we’d all be billionaires with perfect abs.”By focusing on quality over quantity when it comes to the content calories we consume from podcasts like Mind Pump, Modern Wisdom, Wits and Weights, The Tim Ferriss Show, and Huberman Lab, we will use gym principles like Progressive Overload, and Specificity to
Raise the Bar in Our RelationshipsMuscle-Up Our Mindset and Mental HealthPower Up Our Sense of Purpose, andBuild Bodies That Personify Peak Performance
Every episode of the Mental Muscle-Up Podcast inspires you to cure Male Mental Masturbation - which is defined as a term for overthinking or engaging in intellectual pursuits without practical application - as we go from passive consumption to immediate implementation with what we call the PodWod - your Podcast Workout of the Day.
Just like a training program in the gym, each PodWod gives a specific number of sets and reps in the form of questions and actions as we work on achieving the best podcast pump possible.
Since life is the ultimate workout, it’s time to start training for it. So hit subscribe, and stay tuned as we take the best of what works inside the gym and apply it outside the gym to Muscle-Up every area of our lives.
Welcome to the Mental Muscle-Up Podcast.

Customer Reviews
Such a great listen!
Carl brings a depth of knowledge and genuine care to helping men get out of their own way and become their best selves. I enjoy the energy and direction of the show!
A man of action.
Inspired by Impact is a podcast that is part of a system. The host has lived the life he is helping others to change. Carl walked the walk and is literally talking the talk to man seeking to improve their lives inside the gym as a full time professional fitness and heath trainer and outside the gym as a guide to a system that he’s managing to put together that applies the same strategies we use inside the gym, to our everyday lives. He’s genuinely created a daily routine to use as a guid in our “outside the gym” with his “mental muscle up”. This system (free) let’s you pick the muscle group (in your life, not the gym) and create a simple thought routine that when applied properly, the reps can be counted and and the results are shown through your work…. Just like in the gym! He has a network of like minded men in a “Brotherhood” that he encourages to become “workout partners” and develop friendships with. Carl is a wizard with his podcast guests, asks for questions from his followers to get answered by the guest then opens up a forum, in some cases, to make a follow up podcast of Men, talking about the takeaways from the podcast… This is a fantastic podcast/ system and Brotherhood that has helped me move from feeling alone to feeling empowered in my life …. Highly recommend…. If there were 10 starts Id pick 10!
Powerful and Vulnerable
Carl is one of the most real, raw, vulnerable hosts and this podcast delivers in so many ways. You can tell the conversations with guests are natural and dig deep with questions that even I start to ask myself and reflect. The message is to always be taking action, and his MMU approach is a helpful tool for this (if you do the “PREP” work: purpose, relationships, emotions, physical). And he uses analogies that apply principles from the gym to real life, which speaks to me! Looking first to seeing this one evolve!
