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.

    2018: How to Reduce Cardio Without Putting on Body Fat, What to Do if You Lack Stamina During Lifts, the Best Way to Incorporate Isometrics Into Trigger Sessions & More Feb 24, 2023

    In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer four Pump Head questions drawn from last Sunday’s Quah post on the @mindpumpmedia Instagram page.

    • Mind Pump Fit Tip: Lifting to failure is TOO much intensity most of the time for most people. Unless you program it RIGHT! (2:20)

    • The Di Stefano’s meltdowns in Monterey. (16:20)

    • Teenagers aren’t impressed. (21:38)

    • Organifi’s Green Juice is CLUTCH when traveling. (1:02:57)

    • Shout out to Dr. Andy Galpin. (1:03:54)

    • #Quah question #1 - How do I reverse out of excessive daily cardio? I lift 6 days a week and will continue to do so but fell into a heavy cardio trap. I want to decrease but I’m afraid my body will “blow up” if I don’t reverse correctly. Please help! (1:05:07)

    • #Quah question #2 - If I’m severely struggling to complete a lift due to feeling out of breath, like when performing the Bulgarian split squat, is that a sign I need to start doing more cardio? (1:11:09)

    • #Quah question #3 - What’s the best way to incorporate isometrics as a form of trigger sessions to enhance mind-muscle connection? (1:14:09)

    • #Quah question #4 - Is semaglutide a good tool if you are struggling to lose fat? The recent discussion on episode 2014 made it sound like it was. I thought using pharma medications was not a good thing. (1:17:58)

    1932: Lifting Heavy Vs. Lifting Light Oct 27, 2022

    In this episode Sal, Adam & Justin cover the pros and cons of lifting heavy vs. lifting light.

    • There are two main ways to strength train. The first one is to make heavy weights feel light. The second is to make light weights feel heavy. (1:40)
    • Which avatar benefits more from switching lifting methods, the bodybuilder or the powerlifter? (4:12)
    • The mentality MATTERS most! (10:04)
    • The Focus, Pros, and Cons of Lifting Heavy Vs. Lifting Light.
    • Lifting Heavy: Maximizes efficiency, focuses on movement, and doesn’t focus on “feeling” the muscle. (13:40)
      • Focus: Psyching up, and perfecting the smooth movement. (16:55)
      • Pros: Great for overall muscle, real-world applicable strength, and builds a solid body. (19:12)
      • Cons: Higher injury risk, feeds the ego, and it's hard to bring up lagging body parts. (25:50)
    • Lifting Light: Maximizes inefficiency, focuses on the target muscle, and it's all about the “feel.” (30:08)
      • Focus: Calm collected, and visualizes the target muscle. (35:08)
      • Pros: Brings up target body parts, and lowers injury risk. (41:25)
      • Cons: Doesn’t build as much total muscle, and strength is less applicable to the real-world. (44:52)
