• 2870: 6 Signs You're Not Training Hard Enough (And How to Fix It) 01.06.2026 24min

  In this episode the guys break down the six signs that you're not training hard enough — and why intensity is the most important factor for making progress in the gym. They cover what strenuous actually feels like, why using the same weight for years is a red flag, how to know if you left enough in the tank, and why some people are just wired to avoid hard effort. They also talk about the two groups most likely to undertrain — people coming back from injury and older adults getting started with strength training — and why both groups are capable of far more than they think.

They cover why the squat, bench press and deadlift are the most underrated tools for building a great physique, how strength is the only objective metric that tells you everything is going right, why powerlifting programing beats bodybuilding programing for most people, and how focusing on strength is one of the best tools for getting people out of body dysmorphia.  They also get into Brian Johnson's perfect 100 sleep score streak on Eight Sleep and his girlfriend's vaginal microbiome flex, the four reported species of aliens now being covered by mainstream news, Justin's son qualifying for nationals in gymnastics, and the AP x Swatch collab that caused global pandemonium.

• 2867: Groundbreaking Technology for Pain, Sleep, Athletic Performance & More Jay Dhaliwal - Super Patch 28.05.2026 1h 19min

  Jay Dhaliwal, founder of Super Patch, joins Mind Pump to break down one of the most unconventional technologies in health and wellness — haptic patches that alleviate pain, improve sleep, boost athletic performance, and more with zero compounds or drugs.  Sal opens up about being deeply skeptical until reviewing the peer-reviewed studies, and the guys walk Jay through the entire origin story — from a passion project to help his mother with MS, to 17 years of research, $40 million of his own money, and 16 published peer-reviewed studies.  They cover the neuroscience of how skin receptors communicate with the brain, what the studies actually show (50% pain reduction, 85% sleep improvement, 5–8% athletic performance gains in D1 athletes), and why half the teams in the NFL are already using the product.

  In this episode the guys break down exactly how to bulk and build muscle without gaining excess body fat. They cover how to find your maintenance calories, how much of a surplus to eat, where those extra calories should come from, why sleep is the most overlooked factor in a bulk, how protein helps minimize fat gain, why junk food will derail your bulk even if the calories look right on paper, and why staying active with daily steps actually speeds up muscle building rather than working against it.

• 2860: Short Daily Workouts vs. Full Body 3x a Week: Which One Actually Gets You More Results? 18.05.2026 28min

  Short daily workouts or full body sessions 2–3x a week — which one actually gets you better results? Sal, Adam, and Justin break down both approaches with equal total volume, so it's a fair fight. They cover why daily 15-minute workouts tend to produce more total volume over time, build stronger habits, and put less stress on the body — plus the real cons, including why they don't work well if you're commuting to a gym. Then they make the case for full body training: more enjoyable for some, better for strength stamina, and a solid fit for gym-goers. Sal also shares how he hit a personal deadlift PR at 45 years old training only two lifts a day.

  In this episode the guys break down how a planned deload week can boost your gains by 21% — the science behind supercompensation, how Soviet Olympic athletes used periodization to crush records, and what it actually looks and feels like to properly deload. They also get into the government registering alien-related URLs, the FBI greenlighting UFO/non-human entity disclosure, GLP-1 use doubling from 5.8% to 12.4% of adults in just 18 months, and Sal's conspiracy theory about why all of this is happening now.

  In this episode the guys break down 5 weird but proven ways to quickly trigger muscle growth — one set to failure, blood flow occlusion training, the all-day workout method, doubling your protein intake, and post-workout sauna. They also get into a 1967 Senate committee that predicted we'd only work 22 hours a week by 1985 (and how wrong they were), the birth control predictions that went completely the other way, why alcohol consumption is dropping (hint: it's not because people are healthier), and a Harvard multivitamin study showing two years of use made people five months younger at the molecular level. Then they answer questions submitted through Instagram — covering weekly vs. daily step goals, how often you should expect to progress in training, preventing stretch marks during weight loss, and the best high protein high calorie snacks.

Sound familiar? In this episode, Sal, Adam, and Justin cover FOUR simple steps that actually produce real, lasting fat loss results for women over 30. Not theory. Not what some twelve-week study says. What decades of real world coaching experience has proven works again and again. Why simplicity beats a perfect 15 step diet plan every single time How cutting processed foods caused every single one of Sal's clients to lose weight Controlled studies show people eat 600 to 700 more calories per day when eating processed foods Up to 40% of weight lost on a typical diet is muscle, not fat, and why that tanks your metabolism Why two women can both weigh 160 pounds at five foot six and look completely different based on body composition Why meal prepping one or two days a week is the convenience solution that makes whole food eating actually sustainable The 30 grams of protein per meal target that preserves muscle, keeps you full, and drives enhanced fat loss Why going too low on dietary fat destroys estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone Why carbohydrates should not drop to zero Why rigid meal plans fail within a few months How adding small improvements to what someone already eats works better than a new meal plan Timestamps:0:00 Intro 2:01 Nutrition for Weight Loss After 30 4:09 Consideration 1: Simplicity and Why It Wins 7:19 Consideration 2: Convenience 9:58 Consideration 3: Pro Muscle 14:49 Consideration 4: Hormone Health 15:43 Step 1: Stop Eating Processed Foods 20:25 Step 2: Meal Prepping 23:51 Step 3: Prioritize Protein 25:53 Step 4: Protect Your Hormones 27:42 Custom Coaching
