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.

What does "functional" really mean? It means the strength you build in the gym carries over to real life. The guys share the 5 most functional lifts: the big 4 (bench, deadlift, squat and overhead press), sled work in every direction, heavy carries, Cossack squats, and pull ups and dips. They also talk about Organifi Beauty Gummies, why full body three days a week works so well, a four minute strength study, an inverted iron cross, the single leg RDL on a landmine, how GLP-1 users lose key nutrients, and the Caldera Lab regimen. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com.
