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.

The coolest dudes to hang out with
I just discovered these guys after starting yet another fitness journey a few months ago. I have started listening from the beginning and listening to the new ones. These guys are so down to earth and real, they remind me of the best buds I have. I feel like I know these guys so we’ll and they always give ma a laugh and teach me something n every day. Thank you Mind Pump! #Salforpresident
Love! Entertaining, informative, and fun.
I started listening to these guys about five months ago, after a recommendation from my cousin. I listen daily, and I feel as though I have learned so much in a short time! They are so hilarious that sometimes they make me almost missed a rep on my workouts because I start laughing! I also really appreciate how much they value their families and children. The content has variety which makes it interesting and informative on multiple fronts. The programs are also amazing! I have gotten so much stronger from following maps anabolic! I have also recommended them to my family and have successfully gotten my mom, two sisters, and a brother on some of their various programs. Can’t recommend enough!
Best Health and Fitness Information Out There
Not only do these guys provide quality information on how to train properly, but more importantly how to APPLY these training protocols to improve your life. All aspects of health. A podcast everyone should listen to!
