Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

By: Sal Di Stefano Adam Schafer Justin Andrews Doug Egge
  • Summary

  • 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.

  • 2571: How to Be a Great Leader & More (Listener Live Coaching)
    Apr 9 2025

    In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin coach three Pump Heads via Zoom.

    • Mind Pump Fit Tip: 7 attributes of a great leader. (2:09)

    • Ginseng, the master adaptogen. (43:27)

    • The guy’s frustration with the current state of the trainer space. (45:57)

    • The differences between farmed vs wild-caught salmon. (52:25)

    • #ListenerLive question #1 – Why does NASM recommend static stretching before resistance training if it turns on your parasympathetic nervous system? You guys say not to do any static stretching before your workout. (56:19)

    • #ListenerLive question #2 – I’ve recently hit a plateau despite staying consistent with workouts and diet. I understand from your podcasts that sometimes increasing calories for 2-3 weeks can help break through a plateau. The problem is that I am on a GLP-1, my appetite is still low, and I can’t comfortably increase my intake much. Do you have any other suggestions or strategies to help break this plateau, considering my situation? (1:08:46)

    • #ListenerLive question #3 – Do you have any advice on how to push past a mental and physical plateau? I want to be a good role model and show my boys that age is just a number, and that a man takes care of his body to care for his family and others. (1:22:31)
