This message needs to be heard far and wide!

[AJAC @AJA_Cortes]

False belief is you "lose the weight first" and then start lifting after

Guaranteed to fail this way. You will lose lean mass as you diet

Might lose fat, but will be weaker, skinny fat, still lacking lean body mass, metabolism will be sluggish

Start lifting from the beginning

PR’s that don’t matter

1. Leg press
2. Hip thrusts
3. Any machine anything
4. Calf raises

Stop bragging about how much weight you can do on these.

[Sal Di Stefano @mindpumpsal]

Workouts change and strengthen your body because they are a STRESS. Without the stress, there would be no growth or change.

God works this way too. Spiritual growth is hard and stressful but He is shaping you. Have faith in his goodness.

[Sal Di Stefano @mindpumpsal]

Today we have more food, shelter, safety, entertainment and leisure than ever before yet we are more anxious, depressed and lost than previous generations.

Why?

Lack of faith. The generations that endured far more difficult times had faith in Christ.

[Sal Di Stefano @mindpumpsal]

I can’t think of a more evil modern policy.

How anyone can support something like this is all the evidence I need that proves the devil is real.

@mindpumpsal And they clap..... Wow!

[Sal Di Stefano @mindpumpsal]

I was always a bit different. I wasn’t into the same things as most kids. As a result, although I had friends, I never felt like I fully fit in.

That all changed when I went to the gym. In the gym EVERYONE who worked hard fit in. Nothing else mattered.

[Sal Di Stefano @mindpumpsal]

This trend of “angry conservative” who is just another bully is just evil grabbing at “the other side.”

When you hear hate turn away even and especially if it reflects your own inner anger.

Christ specifically said “pray for your enemies.”

Lord help us.

[Sal Di Stefano @mindpumpsal]

5 reasons why I love the gym

1. It’s full of people working to become better.

2. It’s inclusive. If you are working hard you are respected regardless.

3. Great vibes. Feels good.

4. It’s a community of support.

5. It encourages being present.

Been training pure bodybuilding style for over 3 months now (more machines, pump focus). I’ve noticed:

-It definitely gives me a different “look.” Rounder muscle bellies.

-Easy on the joints.

-Definitely lost functional strength.

-Mobility suffered.

[Sal Di Stefano @mindpumpsal]

It’s interesting that proclaiming you are a Christian can feel awkward. It’s more socially acceptable to believe in “the universe” or even another religion.

Even more awkward is to speak about how Satan is real and aims to destroy us.

Satan is effective.

[Sal Di Stefano @mindpumpsal]

Fasting is a stupid approach to fat loss. It encourages a “restrict/binge” eating behavior.

Fasting is excellent as a spiritual or detachment practice.

Of course the fitness industry perverts it and turns it into a “diet.”

[Sal Di Stefano @mindpumpsal]

I’ve been a fitness professional for over 25 years and I’ve personally been into fitness for 30 years.

I still struggle with overtraining, obsessing over my body and taking too many supplements/peptides etc.

Coaching others is the best reflection for me.

The most important “job” is raising children. This impacts the most vulnerable of us and it’s what determines our future.

My career exists to support my wife who is raising our children.

To say her job is more important than mine is an understatement.
