I’m enjoying this conversation. I’m on a GLP1. I’ve used it as a tool to help me to lose 128 lbs. However, I eat when I’m not hungry to fuel my body to prevent muscle loss. I’m losing on the scale slowly but I’m happy about it because I’ve built muscle and haven’t had a lot of muscle loss. I don’t have the “Ozempic face & booty”😂

I’ve been following Mind Pump for years and what I love most is how you cut through the BS and give practical fitness knowledge that actually works in real life. At 35, I’m chasing the best version of myself — stronger, leaner, and healthier — not just for me, but to set an example for my family. Winning a program wouldn’t just be about getting workouts; it would be about continuing the journey with guidance from the team I trust. Whether I win or not, I appreciate the impact you’ve made on my fitness and mindset.

Bulking for the first time in 16 years of training.. made more progress in the last 5 weeks than years of training 🙄🙄🙄👌🏼 wish I’d done it sooner!! I call it a build rather than a bulk to make it more palatable 😊👌🏼

Guys, thank you so much for all the knowledge you share. I found Mind Pump late last year and I can’t help but wish I had discovered you 10 years ago. For over a decade (since my 20s), I’ve tried several diet hacks and workouts, always trying to transform my body but never getting the results I wanted. Most of the time, I just ended up sliding backward with my health. Now I’m in my 30s and for the first time I’m finally seeing real results because of everything I’ve picked up from you guys. I’m not at my end goal yet, but I’m truly grateful to be on the right path now. I’m actually able to enjoy the process of becoming a healthier version of myself, and that feels incredible.<br>.<br>.<br>.<br>P.S. Trying to do intense workouts on a < 1,200-calorie diet is not a good feeling. Learned that the hard way. 😅

It took me so many years to learn this lesson. For decades I ate less than 1000 calories a day (low fat, higher carbs) and ran on the treadmill and elliptical for hours (60-90 minutes per day). I was able to mostly stay fit, but it was always a constant struggle to not gain weight. Then everything changed when I started eating more protein and doing strength training. Staying fit is SO EASY now! Thank you for educating and reinforcing this message. 🙏

Thank you so much for addressing women lifters. I've always been into fitness but have become much more interested in the past couple of years in building muscle and you are giving me more incentive to keep going. I definitely love the way I feel with more muscle especially as I age.

I was on a cut at 1800 calories a day for about 5 weeks. I switched to 3700 a day with proper macros for me and WOW I feel so much better and I’ve actually gotten leaner and I’m packing on great muscle slowly and surely
