Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

MindPump's first episode officially went live January 5th of this year. Until yesterday, our studio has been Doug's living room. Now, we have a new studio right next door to a WHAT?... In this episode Sal, Adam & Justin christen the new studio and reveal a bit of what is in store for PumpHeads around the world.

As personal trainers Sal, Adam & Justing have had some strange requests from clients. In this episode they cover spot reducing, toning, women with 18"arms, the power of the lab coat,drinking wine for resveratrol and horny senior citizens.

Sal likes to spring random topics on Adam and Justin. This is one of those episodes. Do women prefer shredded 6-pack or a little belly fat? You may be surprised what they say...

Now more than half way through his 90 day challenge, Justin is stepping up his game as he enters the final 45 days on his Road to Ripped . In this episode find out the adjustments he is making to accelerate his progress!

Who is healthier, the world champion triathlete with 6% body fat or the person who does moderate activity and has 15% body fat? The answer is, it depends... Here is a fact... Just because you are fit does not mean you are healthy. What does it take to be fit AND healthy? Sal, Adam & Justin answer this question in this episode!

There was a time when Sal, Adam & Justin didn't know what the hell they were doing in the gym. Like most people, they ended up following a lot of pseudo-science and half-baked advice along the way. Now with over 40 combined years as personal trainers, they share their own personal evolution which has led to the science-based MAPS/Team Level Up training philosophy.

Justin is now halfway through his transformation and he has only 45 more days to go! Is he on track to hitting his targets? Did the Easter Bunny derail his plan? Find out in this episode.

Q&A time once again! Every week Sal, Adam & Justin answer as many PumpHead questions as possible but they can never get to them all. If you have asked a question on Instagram (@Mindpump) and it hasn't been answered yet, keep asking! This week they answer questions about their favorite exercises, Branched Chain Amino Acids, the best time to do cardio and the best time to work out.

You can learn a lot about someone by how they spend their money. Especially if they have money to spare. What would you do if you won $100 million? Sal, Adam & Justin explore this question and reveal a lot about their personalities and values in the process.

Justin is 5 weeks into the process of dropping excess fat and transforming his body into a lean, mean, aesthetic machine. What is he currently focusing on? How is he progressing? What are his greatest challenges? Has he been lured to the dark side by a rogue pizza? All of these questions answered in this week's update.
