I came here to comment about this! First thing I noticed! They've removed most of what was on the walls and in the background, and the lighting looks warmer. They're also all wearing black Mind Pump shirts. Looks super professional!
After covid and being diagnosed w sixth nerve palsy I let myself go and lost all motivation to look after myself. I, like many others found myself watching podcast and videos and becoming addicted to you guys. Life changing advice and no bs, just pure genuine help. God bless all of you!
This conversation is actually really helpful when thinking about a home gym. Money and space are limited, so you have to select which tools you want first.
The new lighting is on point, guys. I love watching the progress y’all have made over the last 5 years. Keep at it and please keep making kick ass programs and content.
Not only does this channrel help my health, but it honestly helps my mental state as well. So many ways to affirm some of my doubts about my fitness routines. I appreciate you guys!
what you guys do for The people around the world is absolutely LEGENDARY. I tell people about your show all the time! Ever since listening to your podcast has made me a better trainer and lifter I appreciate y'all so much!
Winner Please email ann@mindpumpmedia.com with this episode number, a screenshot of your youtube profile, and the email you would like this bundle to go to!
I’ve been using only dumbbells only for 2 years of body part split training, and while it has been effective in keeping me somewhat active and in shape, I’m currently on phase 1 of anabolic and the use of barbells and other gym equipment is already making me feel bigger, even if it’s maybe just the feeling of getting stronger properly for once. Thanks for the great content, truly life changing for many
Hoooly production value!! This new style looks really really clean! Makes watching on pled screens so much more enjoyable! Really dig it guys, nice work
As a former college athlete, I am glad that I have stumbled upon you guys. Going from having a schedule that revolved around being on the court, and having weight training built into my schedule. It has been hard to find the motivation, and getting in the right mindset to even lift because where I was is nowhere near I am now. Enjoy the content. Keep it up.
I’ve had to take a significant amount of time off training because of some pretty nasty injuries. Broke my ribs twice In an 8 week period and on the second time I broke my ribs I also got a really bad concussion. After spending roughly 4 months being completely sedentary because of not being able to move I think I’m definitely gonna need to hit up the Prime pack. My ankle mobility is shot and my hips are tight af. Thanks for putting a program like that out there for someone like me who needs to loosen everything up before I get back into squatting and deadlifting. Without something like that I doubt I’d be able to get my mobility/flexibility back. I’ll definitely be hitting that up once I’ve got some $$$ saved up. You guys are the best! Keep that awesome content coming
I am a aspiring personal trainer, and your channel has been a blessing to me. Listen to every episode whenever I am on a move or sometimes even working out. The combination of love for working out, science based reporting and experience is unravelled. Thank you very much for what you are doing, much love!
Love your guys' content. It had reignited a desire to work out again after falling out of love with it. Even after hurting my back, possible pinched nerve, I have been telling my doctor that I want to fix this as soon as possible so I can get back to the gym and continue chasing health. Keep doing what you guys are doing. I also try to tell anyone at work that has an interest in fitness and health that they need to listen to you guys for the wealth of knowledge you all dispense in every video.
You guys have motivated not only my weight loss journey, but a complete lifestyle change. Listening to you guys is very informative and it brings up a lot of topic points at work. I appreciate you guys for all you do
I wanted to make a quick comment on the weight you can do with DBs. I need to conserve space and ended up purchasing a really nice set of 80lb adjustable DBs. I quickly realized that Front squats were causing more strain on my shoulders and found an amazing addition. I purchased a 65lb weight vest, now I can comfortably squat 155 (which feels heavier than a barbell for some reason) .It doesnt work as well with the Deadlift but holding 80lbs per hand isnt that bad
Great information guy, you are all changing the game and educating us on issues we may have thought we’re either lost causes or just the way it had to be because the information was available. Thank you for all you do!!
i love what y'all did with the lighting! aesthetically pleasing and i feel like its easier on the eyes to watch. its probably the darkness and less visual noise in the background. ❤
Hello guys, I wanted to say that I really appreciated your work, and for me, that I'm an international student here in the US, you have been a fundamental pillar in my education to be a better trainer and a better person. I would really love to have this bundle because I have heard that is a MUST for trainers, and that is going to help us make better assessments to spot the deficiencies in our clients. The last thing is that you deserve where you are today, as one of the best UA-cam fitness channels ever, and I’m very happy for you. Greeting from Chile.
I tend to use more dumb bells as someone who is just starting but looking forward to more barbell use to pack on more weight for strength. great content as always
Mobility has changed my life! I implement it as much as I can for myself and my clients. I would love to try out prime and prime pro to even further my experience with mobility and recovery. You guys are amazing! Keep it up! 🤙🏻
Preference aside, unless your goal is to compete, dumbells are more than you will ever need and are better in every way. Better range of motion, more versatile, much safer on the joints (bench press).
I recently found your channel and am so excited - I have been looking for fitness content like this for a long time! I love fitness and exercise but have had a lifelong battle with injuries and pain from working out. I am interested in a few of your programs but Prime and Prime Pro are at the top of my list as I think they would be game changers for me!
You guys have such great knowledge. Obviously use both. But there is always pros and cons. I'm glad I got my wife into your videos. She's even taking notes and asking me about them. Once she pops out our first she is head strong for the gym and practicing technique.
This really helped me better understand what I'm missing from lacking DBs in my home gym. I've done my best to utilize different kinds of intensities and tempos to make up for that lack, which has been ok. But like you guys have been preaching for years, any new stimulus will promote growth. So it stands to reason that adding DBs to my gym, (albeit expensive in the short term...) will aid in my progress. Thank you!
Man, thank you for this episode! I have been wondering about this for the last few weeks now. I appreciate all you guys and what you all do! Keep it up! 🤘🏻
Love your guys channel. Been watching for about a month now after seeing in my recommendations and I’ve learned so much. Right now I’m 6 days post shoulder surgery so shooting my shot for prime so I can study in my off time to learn as much as I can. Overall I’m a barbell guy, mostly because my left shoulder has been an issue for about 10 years and the barbell always was easier to work with for me. Definitely gonna switch between both when I start working out again.
Upcoming trainer that just finished an interview at a gym yesterday and im ready to get started, i found your podcast about a month ago which further promotes my calling to dive into training all of your advice about priming, rest days, and the differences between what the body can tolerate vs what the body needs definitely changed my programming and to give a little description of my job is residential Sanitation(early mornings, High intensity labor for 4+ hours) so dynamic stretches, flexibility tips has done wonders more in my performance. I was already thinking about buying both programs since first you recommended for any trainers to have and plus overall therapy for the body. I appreciate you guys podcast keep doing ya thing Ps. I definitely want the prime bundles🤣
The content you guys put out is amazing. I have been an athlete my whole life training tennis (and many other sports recreationally) with high intensity which led me to so many injuries.. All of my joints are somewhat difunctional as a result of me and my coaches not giving them the proper treatment (recovery, mobility work) after the injuries. So, I am enjoying hearing you guys promoting smart programing and taking care of clients/athletes health (fixing imbalances, deficiencies, improving mobility) since I have opposite experience with irresponsible coaching. Also your series on mobility and flexibility have been a great help in my journey to get my body back to normal, loosen up the rock solid tissues that formed around my joints as the body's defense mechanism to prevent me to move when injured and stop the chronic pain. I am constantly stumbling on some old jewels (videos) of yours and learning some new things. I really appreciate what you are doing and just keep on doing in. Also I would love to hear content targeted for experienced athletes even though I am well aware that the majority gym goers are of the recreational type...
Great information - thanks! For those of us who train at home, I think one additional advantage that dumbbells have over barbells is the initial investment cost. With barbells, not only will I need to get the bar and weight plates, I'd also have to invest in squat rack or power rack.
Great chat, I've just purchased one good quality adjustable kettlebell. I love the way they feel. I currently use both adjustable dumbbells and a barbell. I'm looking forward to incorporating more kettlebell movements. I don't think I could pick between the three but if I had to choose it would be the barbell....perhaps because I can load it so much more and it's great for lunging, squats and deadlifting. But this debate is a reminder to me about how important they all are. Thanks again for sharing such awesome information.
As a beginner, this is a great topic. I love dumbbells and gain mass with them. Now I'm using both and they are excellent in their own rights. Thanks for this.
Awesome discussion of something not usually covered. I’ve often wondered about this and tend to use dumbbells way more. They are also more accessible with more home gyms. Thanks 😊
I am so glad you guys did this episode!! I have worked out at home since Covid and slowly built up my home gym. Until this week I have only had dumbbells and a flat bench. I just got a barbell and have an adjustable bench and squat rack coming. After this episode I feel more confident where to use the barbell. It will be interesting to see how much I can deadlift and squat with the bar, my 45lb dumbbells have been difficult so I thought I was at my highest there.
I'm with Adam on this one!! Being over 50 now, I use dumbbells quite a bit more than barbells. With that said, I'm so glad I don't have to pick between them.
I’ve only bought maps aesthetic! My fiancé and I are on a mission to get close to how we were looking two years ago before our wedding in the fall. Subscribed and notifications on 👍🏼
As someone with bilateral shoulder injuries dumbells always work best for me, the ability to make slight adjustments to accommodate my injuries is priceless in my case
On my very first trigger sessions for MAPS anabolic sheeesh this is an amazing program hope to run performance in 3 months ...not gunna lie I thought I was experienced ...im in the pre phase and all I can say Is WOW 👏 effective!!!!
Love your channel guys I’ve learned so much from you guys and I’ve used all I’ve learned in my training and nutrition and have been helping my girlfriend and she and I both are having a lot of success.. thank you guys for what you do
I think dumbbells are best purely because of the stretch you get at the bottom. More research keeps coming out about stretch mediated hypertrophy and it is starting to surface that exercises that offer the best weighted stretch build more muscle. hence why heavy farmer walks build more trap muscle than strict shrugs.
Thanks for making this program, guys. I'm still having trouble with deadlifts and squats , as well as feeling my back or chest during exercises that target one of them. Even my right shoulder tend to act up after an upper body workout. It's not ideal XD
At first I was like "Meh, what's with the new lighting. You had such a nice living room atmosphere." but I think it might be doing Justin a huge favor. Justin, you appear more participating, relaxed, confident and make longer and more elaborate contributions (much like when you skyped in). Keep it up, would love to see more episodes with you being this active :-)
Love your channel guys, I’ve gotten significantly stronger since following your advice and I’m an experienced lifter. Can you all do a workout on a tonal and give your opinions?
Been listening for a few years now and absolutely love the content! Thank you for the great insights. As for today's discussion topic. I feel much stronger at the gym moving around a barbell, so I like that feeling. However, from a home gym perspective, dumbbells definitely for the win as they just take up less space and you can modify the exercise to make them work for pretty much everything.
Even with solo sports like snowboarding, cycling, skate boarding, there is certainly a dominant side… but i still prefer barbell movements. And btw, you guys kill it with these chats🤘
Excellent breakdown of both styles / tools 👍 And interesting new video setup here. Darker background, video angle , mic sound, etc.. New approach or did it just come out that way 🤔
Loved the episode fellas! I purchased MAPS Anabolic to help me get off the nail with my personal fitness and was pleased to see that you all took time to provide an "At Home Mod" that provides dumbbell alternatives. For someone who's rebounding from shoulder impingement, being able to get back into the groove of pressing by using dumbbells as opposed to barbells is an absolute game changer. I also picked up MAPS Prime to work on my Zone 1 mobility (Justin I dream of having your shoulder ROM). One area that I would love to hear the team's feedback on is in regards to hinging movements. I find that I get a better stretch with dumbbells when doing single leg or straight leg deadlifts but desire barbells for hip thrusts and conventional deads.
@@abhinitadas9474 the recommended approach is to hold the dumbbells at your sides while maintaining thoracic extension, hinging at the hips before bending at the knees and getting a great stretch at the bottom of the eccentric portion of the lift. As mentioned by the team, the ability to load the movement can be limited by a few factors. It took me quite a bit of practice to learn the movement pattern; primarily because of my lack of thoracic mobility. MAPs prime has helped me gain the mobility to maintain an upright torso (when I'm consistent in implementing it) while maintaining depth (I like to keep an upright torso to prevent the feeling of toppling over). The experience of a DB squat and BB squat at the end of the day though simply are not the same but DBs beat bodyweight. I also like to implement TUT (Time Under Tension) approaches to DB squats being that I'm currently capped at 50lbs. A 5 second eccentric and concentric work wonders when using lighter weights.
If I could only had 1 for life it would be dumbells. I won't get into which exercises you can use vs each other in most cases you can do the same with either. My the reason I'd go with dumbbells is the flexibility and range of motion. The flexibility of your movements is so beneficial especially when you have small injuries/pains. You can slightly tweak certain movements and grips to relieve pressure/pain that may be unavoidable with a bar! One other thing that I like is keeping things symmetrical! Dumbbells prevent you from strengthening one side vs the other and also avoids injuries that may be incurred by one side working harder than the other.
I love the conversation. Have you all seen the Thor hammer kettle bells? What do you think about them? Also, I like how your room/set looks without the spot lights. It was more informal and comfortable. Keep up the great work!
I’ve used them and they’re a lot of fun but not as versatile as a kettlebell. I wouldn’t say they’re gimicky since you can do shoulder rok/mace exercises with them decently well along with swings, but if you’re really into functional training, kettlebells would be better.
NEW LIGHTING! DARK BACKGROUND!!! YES!!
Give your media team a raise, especially the person who came up with the lighting idea

Weight vests are so underrated. Try some weighted step ups and your legs will grow like you’ve never seen before
You talking about Nuobells?

I think dumbbells are best purely because of the stretch you get at the bottom. More research keeps coming out about stretch mediated hypertrophy and it is starting to surface that exercises that offer the best weighted stretch build more muscle. hence why heavy farmer walks build more trap muscle than strict shrugs.
So glad I found your channel. Great tips and advice....recently been using the weight sled and farmer walks bc of you guys! 💪🤙

I find that I get a better stretch with dumbbells when doing single leg or straight leg deadlifts but desire barbells for hip thrusts and conventional deads.
Hey how do you modify the barbell back squats with dumbbell??
@@abhinitadas9474 the recommended approach is to hold the dumbbells at your sides while maintaining thoracic extension, hinging at the hips before bending at the knees and getting a great stretch at the bottom of the eccentric portion of the lift. As mentioned by the team, the ability to load the movement can be limited by a few factors. It took me quite a bit of practice to learn the movement pattern; primarily because of my lack of thoracic mobility. MAPs prime has helped me gain the mobility to maintain an upright torso (when I'm consistent in implementing it) while maintaining depth (I like to keep an upright torso to prevent the feeling of toppling over). The experience of a DB squat and BB squat at the end of the day though simply are not the same but DBs beat bodyweight. I also like to implement TUT (Time Under Tension) approaches to DB squats being that I'm currently capped at 50lbs. A 5 second eccentric and concentric work wonders when using lighter weights.
Love the new set 🙌🏽
Barbell with landline attachment should be part of the argument for barbell. (Upper chest, rear delt, side delt, iso rows, etc…)
Good quality as always
The "THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW TEE" in your guys' store is pretty cool. Hope you guys could have Large back in stock. I would totally purchase one!
Adam’s hairdo looks great in this new lighting
You can do landmine variations with a barbell for unilateral work so I would definitely choose the barbell
I don't like the new studio, but I still love you guys.
I use to go to a gym. Because of covid i had to buy a foldable bench and adjustable dumbell. For squats i do bulgarian split squat instead
If I could only had 1 for life it would be dumbells. I won't get into which exercises you can use vs each other in most cases you can do the same with either. My the reason I'd go with dumbbells is the flexibility and range of motion. The flexibility of your movements is so beneficial especially when you have small injuries/pains. You can slightly tweak certain movements and grips to relieve pressure/pain that may be unavoidable with a bar! One other thing that I like is keeping things symmetrical! Dumbbells prevent you from strengthening one side vs the other and also avoids injuries that may be incurred by one side working harder than the other.
I love the conversation. Have you all seen the Thor hammer kettle bells? What do you think about them? Also, I like how your room/set looks without the spot lights. It was more informal and comfortable. Keep up the great work!
I’ve used them and they’re a lot of fun but not as versatile as a kettlebell. I wouldn’t say they’re gimicky since you can do shoulder rok/mace exercises with them decently well along with swings, but if you’re really into functional training, kettlebells would be better.
