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.

The number one fitness goal is weight loss. But for a lot of people, building muscle is the better move. The guys break down 5 signs you need to build muscle, not lose weight: you have a skinny fat look, you need more strength, your bone density isn't great, you're always cold or tired with a sluggish metabolism, and you've already been dieting for a while. Adam also shares how two high calorie days broke his plateau.
