Release Date: 07/02/2025
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
In this episode the guys break down 5 easy ways to fix obesity that are sustainable long term — injecting more movement into your daily life in small ways, avoiding hyper-palatable drug-like processed foods, lifting weights occasionally (even just once or twice a week is enough), connecting through activity with friends and community, and turning off social media an hour before bed. They also discuss the obesity epidemic now hitting Italian kids as processed food arrived, the milkshake study on how belief changes physical response, Adam's internal battle between ego and caution while...

Buy one get one free, pick your combo: One of the most common questions the guys is also one of the simplest: what program should I run next? It matters more than most people think.

In this episode the guys break down the five rules for building a lagging body part — train it longer, train it more often, train it first in the workout, take volume away from the rest of the body to fuel it, and eat in a calorie surplus.

In this episode the guys sit down with IFBB pro bodybuilder and science-driven performance coach Ben Pakulski for a wide-ranging conversation on peptides, performance, identity and the hard lessons of a 20-year bodybuilding career. Ben breaks down the peptide landscape — why he's optimistic about the science but deeply cautious about sourcing (90%+ of research peptides come from China with no quality guarantees), the most exciting peptides he's currently working with including SS-31 for mitochondrial repair, and myostatin inhibition and where the science actually stands. They also cover...

Sal shares how...

MAPS Upper Lower — https://mapsupperlower.com (code: launch)Most people over 30 who try to lose fat end up in one of three traps: they lose the weight and gain it all back, they lose muscle along with the fat and end up softer and slower than before, or they hit a wall and feel like their body just refuses to cooperate. In this episode, Sal, Adam, and Justin lay out the six things the fitness industry consistently leaves out of the fat loss conversation, and why ignoring them is exactly what keeps you stuck. The biggest shift you need to make? Stop treating fat loss like a demolition...
