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.

  • #ListenerLive question #3 - After completing MAPS Anabolic, should I continue to chase the strength gains in a program like MAPS Strong, or should I move into something like Performance? While I continue to get stronger with every workout, I'm beginning to experience progressive stiffness throughout my lower back that I cannot seem to shake even with increased mobility work. (1:35:02)

  • #ListenerLive question #4 - I am currently 175 lbs., dropping about .5lb per week. Ideally, I’d like to get macro-focused again, so I can decrease some of the cardio.

I’m scared to scale back too much and gain weight. (1:42:36)
