Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

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.

  • #ListenerLive question #2 - Is the number of calories I’m taking in to gain weight but still lose weight normal? (1:06:32)

  • #ListenerLive question #3 - Regarding your programming, I have noticed a trend I can't make sense of while running through the MAPS programs. During the heavy weight/low rep phases, I seem to peak during week 2 of the phase (for example Phase 1 Week 2 of MAPS Anabolic). I will go into week 3 of the Phase expecting to be able to add weight but I can't even hit the previous week's weight. Is this to be expected? (1:15:45)

  • #ListenerLive question #4 – Any advice on what program I should run next? Currently, my goals are to look the best I can on my 39th birthday and for our family’s spring break trip to the Dominican Republic. (1:33:44)
