Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
Jay Campbell is BACK... and this time he's talking about all the cutting edge peptides for building muscle. We're talking follistatin derivatives with 19 day half lives, super retatrutide that you might only need to inject once every TWO MONTHS, and why these compounds could be the future of building lean mass without the brutal side effects. Jay tells stories about the legendary Dan Duchaine. You'll learn the REAL history of cyclical ketogenic dieting, why going zero carb all week then carb loading on weekends was revolutionary for bodybuilders in the 90s. Here's where it gets...

If you've been cutting calories and grinding cardio to lose weight and it still isn't working — this episode is for you. Sal, Adam, and Justin break down why the cut-first approach is not just ineffective, it's actively working against you. A new study out of Brazil shows that people with belly fat but adequate muscle had ZERO increased risk of death — while those with belly fat and low muscle had an 83% higher risk. The message is clear: muscle is the variable that matters most. Then four callers join live for coaching on everything from Lyme disease and exercise anxiety to running a half...

If you've been doing seated shoulder presses, you're leaving real gains on the table — Sal, Adam, and Justin make the case for standing overhead press as one of the two best exercises you could ever do, and explain why it's nearly disappeared from gyms. Then they go deep on BPC-157, covering the animal studies that are almost hard to believe, where peptides actually fit in the hierarchy of diet, exercise, and supplements, and why even younger doctors still have hormone therapy stigma. Plus: California's new home kitchen law, rage rooms, the work-life balance myth, and four listener Q&As....

This is one of the BEST interviews we've ever done on supplements and cutting-edge supplement technology... We had Dr. Scott Sherr on the podcast — a board-certified internal medicine physician who practices health optimization medicine and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This guy KNOWS his stuff and we break down some of the most powerful compounds you can get your hands on to improve cognitive function, athletic performance, and longevity. Here's the reality... 94% of US adults are metabolically UNHEALTHY. That means your mitochondria — the powerhouses of your cells — are struggling to...

1 Hour of Strength Training Per Week Adds 13 YEARS to Your Life (Plus Live Coaching Calls) What if we told you that just ONE HOUR per week could add 13 years to your life? Yeah... you read that right. In this episode, we break down the insane ROI of strength training for longevity — and why nothing else even comes close. We're talking about the data that shows a 17% increase in life expectancy from minimal resistance training, why muscle and strength are better predictors of longevity than body fat, and exactly what a perfect minimalist longevity routine looks like. But that's not all... we...

Most people think burning calories is the key to fat loss… but that’s not the full story. In this episode, the guys break down why building muscle is actually one of the most effective ways to improve body composition—and why the common “calories burned” argument completely misses the bigger picture. They dive into the science of metabolism, why muscle doesn’t just burn more calories (at least not in the way you think), and what’s really happening inside your body when you strength train. Plus, live coaching calls covering weight loss recovery, balancing cardio and strength,...
