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.

In this episode the guys break down the exact formula to build the most muscle you've ever built in a 90-day window. They cover dropping all superfluous isolation exercises to focus your energy on compound lifts, training your whole body three days a week with bench, squat and deadlift as the anchors, stopping two reps short of failure, rotating rep ranges every 3-4 weeks, eating clean whole foods frequently and hitting very high protein, optimizing sleep every night with glycine, theanine and magnesium, and staying hyper consistent every single day — even on non-gym days. They also get into Sal's lateral hip pain being completely resolved with lateral sled drags, isometric lunges for hip and hip flexor pain, the longevity and anti-cancer potential of PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra and Cialis, the grapefruit enzyme interaction you need to know about, LMNT before workouts for pump, Caldera Lab's new citrus bar soap, and Lifetime Fitness building a residential wellness complex in Arizona. Then they answer questions from Instagram.
