1681: The Optimal Body Fat Percentage for Building Muscle, Staying Disciplined, & More

I enjoyed your talk about consciousness, quantum theory, and observer effect... What's interesting is that consciousness itself is hard for science to explain.

Sheeeesh! Guns r insane

If you can make a market, you can break a market

Hey Sal look up chuck misler talking about 10 dimensions I think it would be a good topic for you guys

I put electrolytes in my water for my work outs now that I do keto religiously. I honestly did it to get something flavorful in my water but good to know it’s an acceptable thing to use at the gym for you guys!

One of the great things I love about this show; your honesty and how you are not afraid to talk about anything. Keep up the great work!

20% body fat percentage is the best anyday

1 caveat to jumping between programs - I have several interests which contradict each other - Marathon running, boxing, powerlifting, yoga; I split this into 3 months a year where I focus on 1. This keeps my training exciting and I am definitely improving on each year on year.

shameless pluggs lol

When they were talking about the alternate universe and being so deep in... thats a rick and morty episode lmao

Look the statistic for a black man of rich biological parents being successful compared to a white man of rich parents.

What about intra workout or intraworkout meals when you’re in the building phase of a prep just because you have so many meals to get in? If you’re in there 2-3 hrs, you can easily get behind on meals. At least, I can.

I just want to say I did MAPS aesthetic and my butt is now enormous. I love it. Booty gainz. My husband thanks you. Also, my strength skyrocketed.… and for that, I thank you.

If we’re all made up of light then I want more light particles on my biceps! Love the hypothetical talks on these interesting topics.

Talk more about the brain melting stuff! I nerd hardcore over that. If you do I’ll even buy one of your sponsors products 😉

You guys need to have more conversations like the simulation and double slit theory that shit was interesting as fuck. Also I watched Midnight Mass because of Sal's recommendation, amazing show 9/10

As a trainer this has helped me explain workouts and ideas to my clients so much more easily. So glad I have came across this channel months ago. Great content and a lot of value.

Zollow has the capability to pre-approve applicants for a property loan. They are already more than just a property listing site they were in 2015-2018

If Zillows handed all of the financing part of purchasing a home...they have it nailed. They need to operate outside of Fannie May/Freddy Mac and they have a Monopoly you guys are talking about. Best Prices/Menu pick one out and agents have to work for Zillows. It would be the Amazon/WMT of real estate.

Bikini ready Adam = Goals 😉

New drinking game, take a shot everytime Adam says "I, Me or My"....jesus christ 😂. Even Zbiotics wont help you

I've never been more motivated to stay consistent with my diet and exercise, after listening to this podcast for a few months. Mind pump, you've given me a totally new outlook on fitness, food, and life!

Man, you guys provide exactly what the casual gym goer needs in a podcast. Sal gives out classic bodybuilding knowledge and gym rat methodology. Adam gives out the knowledge of a former competitor. Also side note: Adams fat loss journey from some years ago inspired me to push harder in my cut. Justin’s functional mindset ties the “total wellness” aspect of the pod in perfectly. Keep it up you guys, you’ve made me more conscious of my training and diet at 19 years old and I now feel like I have an edge up because of you.

So much knowledge that I gained since I started watching you guys podcast.

I found your podcast about 3 months ago and have made changes to my workout programming. I have created my own 10 week program based off of my 36 years of training and your "advices" I would love to compare your Maps Split to what I have been doing and see what I can improve on.

This is the best body buildingish podcast in the world

While I cannot condone his actions, I do understand them...

If anyone listens to the Power Athlete podcast, the hosts sometimes talk about how one of them was eating liver every day and developed vitamin A deficiency, essentially putting him in constant ketosis and making him sick. A little goes a long ways...

p.s. I only listen to other podcasts when I've caught up on Mindpump episodes.
p.s.s. Split is one of the few MAPS programs I don't have 😉

Jeeez. Frick’n existentialism not only ruined philosophy, it’s now coming dangerously close to ruining my favorite podcast. Will there soon be no place for us moderate realists?

I'm that person that loves the novelty of new workouts, binge watches Mindpump TV 😉, and can't wait to try the new movements but it is so difficult for me to stay on a training program without feeling bored. I bought the Superbundle out of excitement then can't get out of phase 1 of Anabolic. Not sure what to do at this point aside from just owning it and make myself more disciplined. I appreciate the honesty because it really made me look at MYSELF as the reason for inconsistencies, not that the programs are "boring". Thank you!

My first thought was the same Justin, where's my hoverboard 😆

.Adam listens to Planet Money!

Feels like am cumming…

Justin‘s zingers are always brushed over. I see you Justin, comedian extraordinaire

I can't figure out how y'all get so many calories. I eat a primarily meat diet due to my crohns and I struggle to clear 2k calories a day with shakes. I love watching the shows, they keep me on track despite any perceived difficulties on my end.

Always great content. I’m currently working toward my CPT , and, recently purchased maps anabolic , nice change up from ppl I’ve done for the past year.
At 63 I’m not sure what the end game is, but it’s great gaining the knowledge.

Guys! Metaverse and Quantum Physics banter. BLOWS. MY. MIND! and had me begging for more 🤯🤯😻🤣🤣

Thats a big fucking gun mate💪

Only thing more split then Americas Democrat vs. Republican divide is the Maps Split program that I hope I win.

Sal " they knew the opportunity" WOW 🤯

Lickety Split

Best banter session in a while! This is why y’all are the goats 🏆

Best cheat meal snack is a grill cheese with mac and cheese inside with bacon and a corn dog cut in half out in the middle!! Only had one in my life and need another soon! Love the show guys! 💚

Liver is good if you know how to make it, cut it then put in bowl with milk for 15minutes, then roll it in flour and then fry it with onion, I often do it with hot spices but salt and pepper is ok enough...

I'll die for my wife I'll kill for my son.

Two years ago, I was a LEO who had gotten overweight with "skinny fat" after no longer training and got stuck in the routine of working and sleeping and eating garbage because it was easy. I hated the idea of stepping into a gym because I was afraid of what people thought. After realizing I needed to change something so I could help ensure I could come home to my family everyday after shift, your show has helped me overcome my fears, and changed my eating habits, and gain more confidence. After trying other cheaper programs, I finally bought one of your programs and am loving it. Looking forward to trying more of them! I also love listening to your podcasts and enjoy filling my mind with tons of helpful and new information.

Thank you and keep it up!
