You are listening to Sal de Stefano introducing Adam Schaefer who's producing and Justin Andrews, the best one. And this is Mind Pump, guys, by the way,

before I continue, let's get serious for a second. mind pump guys by the way before I continue Let's get serious for a second. Have you guys been on mind-pump? Always serious. Have you guys been on mind pump media.com and look at the testimonials? Doug shared that with me last night and did you cry like I was like a sobbing? I'm not gonna lie dude. I'm not gonna miss you though. I didn't get miss you I actually had a tear fall down wow my face My face. And I don't cry for shit. And I sat there, I just couldn't cry a lot. But I was watching it.

I was looking at some of these testimonials. And I'm getting emotional because what I expected these testimonials to say would be things like, I lost 10 pounds, I built more muscle. And that was, that's what they're saying. But it's way more than that. Like they're talking about like life-changing shit. Yeah.

It's freaking humbling, man. No, you know, I hit me like right in the love muscle. It's seriously in the love muscle. Yeah. Man, like right in the core. I'd actually like to, uh, I'd like to open it up for anybody that's been listening to my, I mean, it totally got me all like, wow, you know, I would have never guessed that, uh, you know, what, what, what it's changed. I mean, we know of course maps is phenomenal. We knew the program was bad ass. We knew people were gonna do that. We knew we're gonna change people's physics,

but I'm actually most impressed with how many people have changed their relationship with food and trying to be a better person. Those are the ones that got me kind of emotional. When they start talking about stuff like that. Well, there was a lot of people on there who would say things like, I used to work out five or six days a week.

There's a couple of females on there saying, you know, I used to train so hard, and then my body just wasn't cooperating. I was eating so little, I was exercising every day with super high intensity, and I was gaining body fat. It just wasn't working. And then I started the maps program, and now I spend three days a week in the gym,

and I do some trigger sessions on off days. I'm incorporating intermittent fasting and eating this particular way and I've changed my relationship to food and boom, I lost X amount of pounds and now my body's starting to respond again. That's life changing shit. Now I'm making it sound like, you know, D-D-D-D-D, but this is very, you can tell by the looks on their faces and how they're delivering what they're saying, that this is a big deal. Oh, it's very sincere. And I mean, I all joking aside, like I, I really did. I got moved, you know, especially from the original passion that I think we all

share being personal trainers. Like that's, that's what you want to hear as feedback from your clients. Like you want to know that you're taking them in a direction. You're making a difference. Yeah, well, it's giving them back. It's empowering them. It's allowing them to experience what we know and love fitness to be and like how it's supposed to help you. From a health perspective, not just from a physical visual sort of appeal.

Well, if you're, if you're listening right now and you're in need of a little motivation or you want to feel, you know, you might feel like you're having a struggle right now with fitness and this is, or maybe you feel like this isn't for you and I'm never going to be fit. I'm never going to feel good. Go on there. Mind pump media.com and watch this. These are regular people pouring the hearts out. Nothing produced. It's pretty awesome. We just started, we just opened this up yesterday

for our forum members and thought, oh, it'd be great if you guys shared what's been going on. And then people just started leaving these videos. So I actually think it would be great to open that up. Is it possible? Can they just email the mic? Can we open this up to anyone that's listening, even if you're not in the form with that?

If you've been listening to MindPump for a long time, if there's how it's impacted you, whether it be your fitness journey or nutrition. Yeah, how would they do that? If they want to post a video over on our Facebook page, is that correct? Justin? Yeah, I believe so. Yeah, we have just a fan page, I believe, on MindPump. That's how they find it.

Just MindPump. I think it's MindPump show. something. That's how they find it, just Mind Pump. Yeah, I think it's Mind Pump Show. Yeah, Mind Pump Show, like it's Facebook slash Mind Pump Show, I believe. Beautiful. So they can go there and leave and just talk about. Okay, I'm sure. Right on.

That's awesome. That's very nice stuff there. So guys, I got a subject I want to talk about. I actually have, I had a client the other day. Let me tell you why I got this idea. And this happens to me all the time, because I like to train. I have a decent percentage of my clientele base

to be an advanced age. So, you know, I train probably. Silverbacks. Yeah, I train, maybe, let me think. I'm gonna probably, over five or six clients I have are over the age of 75. And that's a pretty big percentage. Most trainers won't even have one, let alone more than five.

So I've got a decent amount that I train. And inevitably, they're always so blunt and honest with me, which I love, one of the reasons why I love training them. And when I first start training them, one of the first things that they always, always comment on, men and women, well always comment on is how all of a sudden they're having a sex drive.

All of a sudden they feel like they're getting a stronger sex drive. Go granny. I actually had, I actually, Go granny, go granny, go granny, go. So I had one client, like one of them, you know, when I first started training her, she came in after about,

I don't know, we'd been in a train maybe first started training her, she came in after about, I don't know, we've been in a train maybe two or three months, and she comes up to me, she goes, so I'm noticing a lot of benefits and changes, from exercise, so it's awesome. It's like beating her on the bush. Yeah, I'm like, that's pretty cool. And she goes, no, no, no, like different.

It's so horrible. I'm so sorry. It was unintentional. Takes it too far. No, but intended. And so she's like, I feel, she's like, no, no, it's like I get different kind of results. I said stronger and she's like, no, I said, you know,

so I'm going down the list and like, what do you mean? She goes, I feel more alive. She can't look at me funny. And I said, do you have an increased libido? Think, by the way, right after that left my mouth, I think I've turned that. I thought to myself, by the way, right after that left my mouth, I think I'm determined. I thought to myself, please fucking God, let that be what it is,

because that would be a real uncomfortable thing. You're really reading into this. So I'm looking at you right now and I'm thinking, you must be horny. Look at his eyes. And that's everything. And she's like, yes, yes. And that's totally a normal side effect of exercise.

And so this prompted me to think, you know what? Exercise with your very good looking 37 year old fucking intelligent man makes you horny. I think sounds pretty anecdotal of me. I know I bet that has more. I know you want to you want to attribute this to his great training. But more likely it's because you're probably you're the trainer. Yeah, you're both at the end of the episode. We've solved this. We've solved this riddle. You want to get horny or just train with me. No, exercise and diet.

There's certain supplements that have clinical evidence that show that they benefit libido that they increase sex drive. And we need to talk about this because... Absolutely. Sex drive and libido is like this taboo. We don't talk about, when we talk about health, it matters everybody. Well, yeah, when we talk about health, we talk about everything,

but you're sex drive. You know what I'm saying? We'll talk about your, how do you say it? Everybody gets so squeamish and, oh, oh, yeah. Nobody wants to talk about it. Yeah, it's about sex. So we talk about, you know, we sleep, you know, how well do you sleep and how well is your,

oh, your gut function is good. Oh, you're strong or you're flexible. Nobody asks people, how is your libido? It's like this inappropriate question, but it's a very important gauge to your health. It's a very, very important gauge. Now, we're talking about healthy libido. I'm not talking about like there are certain conditions

where people have this excessive libido, you know, horniness like Doug does right? Right this way you get him a stuffed animal Go to town Doug Doug's forearms are Got him a mind pump bear I think That's easy on a whole sample. Oh my god You're so inappropriate tonight. So bad. It's the topic.

It brings it out of you. This is why the motherfuckers don't want to talk to you. I'm sorry about their healthy libido. Because anybody else, you have to get in here for me. That's what you know. You have to be serious. You have to be serious. Let it be.

No, just really horny right now. Here's a bear. Go fuck it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. either bear a child or care for a child. So one of the first things you'll notice that'll go down when you're tired or sick or over trained

is your sex drive. And what I find fascinating among some of these people I've talked to these competitors, Adam, I'm sure you can attest, you were in that world. These are shredded, muscular athletes, men and women, many of them even on testosterone, no sex drive. That's like the first thing they complain about when they're dieting real hard or whatever that they lose their sex drive.

Yeah. And that's because their body is telling them, we're not going to procreate because you're not having enough food. You don't feel good. You know, I have to say Katrina's mom, she's 65 and she's such a forward thinker. I remember when we when I first started dating her, when I was 30 and her mom was like really adamant about her and I going and getting all our hormones blood, everything all checked and like, track the right where you're at right now because, you know, it's you age, you're going to see that's going to change, you know, want to know,

you're going to want to know what you can be doing to change that and and attribute to that, be exercise or nutrition or if you go the hormone therapy route or whatever it may be because that'll become important. You'll find out how much the difference you'll change emotionally, mentally, all those things that is is affected by this. And we just don't take that a consideration. I mean, that's, I mean, that's such great advice that like you'd never even consider, right? You know, and that's why I thought of that. I lagged on it for a long time too, and I remember when I finally did, I was like, man, why wouldn't I do that? Now I know where everything is at, where I'm at right now, how I feel. And you know, it's only inevitable as I get older, a lot of those things are going to decrease and other things that are going on with my body hormonally too could get worse and change my metabolism, change my mood, change my energy levels, change my sleep patterns, and I want to know.

I want to know. Then I also know that we're all so much into manipulating our foods and figuring out how foods make us feel. There's a lot of stuff that's related to that. A lot of people don't understand that. Your fat intake is directly related to. That's a huge one. It's a too low fat diet. A low fat diet that's too low on fat, your libido will be destroyed. You'll be crushed. Fats are extremely important for

obviously the integrity of your cells, but also for hormone production, especially the cholesterol. When your fat intake is too low, you're not gonna be producing this hormones that Adam's talking about that'll make you feel good with a good libido or where you have no libido. So food is a very, very important one. And I would say make sure you eat healthy fats. By the way, if you eat shitty fats,

like the kind that are from highly processed vegetable oils and fried foods. Yeah, hydrogenated, yeah, oils. You're going to, that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about eating those healthy fats. Well, what that's gonna do is in a promote estrogen. You're gonna promote those levels. And when your estrogen goes up and your testosterone goes down,

you're gonna feel different. Let me tell you, being somebody who has been up and down with his estrogen and testosterone levels, there's a major difference when it's not right, or it's not normal for you. Do you feel like a different person? Absolutely. Absolutely. And you notice, over time, I feel like that a lot of people don't realize that when you're 50 and you all sudden start maybe feeling, maybe you think you kind of notice, but then

you don't really pay attention to it or maybe you just think you're just tired because of that long weekend or whatever. But over time, like at one point, you kinda scratch your head and you go like, oh shit, I definitely know that 15, 20 years ago, I was a lot more vibrant or maybe even more positive, like, because it affects your mood like that too.

A lot of people don't realize what an impact that has. And you know, talk about trying to stay motivated, to be healthy and working out. I mean, it becomes compounding when you don't eat correctly, and you're not working out, and then your hormone levels are starting to go down. It's hard to get out of that hole, you know? So I definitely feel for a lot of clients

that go through that. Well, exercise in general, if done properly, will improve libido, and there's a number of different that go through that. Well, exercise in general, if done properly, will improve libido. And there's a number of different ways it does this. One way is just activity. Moving causes you to feel better. So if you feel real tired and you get up and you do a few jumping jacks and a couple pushups,

you'll automatically feel better. And when we feel better, we're more likely to be horny. It's just a bottom line. So there's that. There's also the feel good chemicals that are released with exercise, which puts you and make you feel more in the mood and increase your libido and make you feel better.

But then there's the positive andabolic effects of exercise. In particular, it's resistance training. Resistance training will affect your hormones more than any other form of exercise, hands down, bar none. Nothing comes close to resist proper resistance training when it comes to balancing out and creating a more youthful hormone profile. This is for men and for women. Doesn't matter.

Now, wouldn't you say, too, that you could even go further and say there's specific exercises that are going to promote... A hundred percent, of course. ...of course, more than others. The exercises that are going to build the most strength and the most muscle also happen to be the ones that affect hormones to have the biggest impact in a positive way on your hormones. So they've done tests on this and they found that because there is an immediate testosterone

response to exercise, which happens relatively quickly after exercise. Squats, barbell squats are the king. And barbell squats also happen to be- The most demanding for sure. It's not only is it demanding, it's just using a big signal. Yeah, big signal, big roast motor movement. It's a very natural movement. Right.

And they find that squats, barbell squats are number one and deadlifts are like number two. And incidentally, those happen to the exercises that we always recommend. And we don't ask why we got massive boners. That's, I could deadlifts without my hands. So there's that aspect always recommend. I feel that's why we got massive boners. That's, I could did lift with that my hands. They, so there's, there's that aspect of it. I just think that's important to point out because I know we've been asked before.

You know, we don't, we don't, we talk a little bit about when we go and we program design and the trips that we take and all the, the thought process of, of hashing out between all of us, what goes on, but we don't really get in a detail. But this is an example of something that we take in consideration when writing a program that it isn't just about the aesthetic side or what's going to burn the most fat or build the most muscle. We also take into considerations like this, like your your hormonal levels and how important that is.

And your program design too that, you know, hey, yeah, you could probably do this exercise with that. But if we know this is also going to benefit you by making sure we incorporate this two or three times a week, I mean, that why? Why wouldn't we, you know, that'd be silly not to one of the number one weird side effects testimonials. I'll get people will message me.

I already know you're going to you told me at least five times. So it's the weirdest fucking thing. I'll get a message for you. Phase one every time. I'm really hungry. And I'm really on. Yes. Phase one. Phase I'm really hungry and I'm really on it. Yes, phase one phase one of red maps or maps and a ball. How many times do we hear that?

People tell me that it makes them feel I didn't believe it. I didn't believe them until it started happened to me too where people started. Yeah, we know. Yeah, we do. And that's a good sign. That's a good sign. Yeah, that's awesome.

Yeah, another important factor is sleep. The loop. Yes, exactly. Another important factor is sleep. If you don't get enough sleep, that's awesome. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, another important factor is sleep. The last example. Yeah. Another important factor is sleep. If you don't get enough sleep, that will affect hormone levels, increase stress hormones, and will also reduce your libido quite a bit. In fact, I've had clients who all they did was change or sleep and have dramatic changes.

Well, isn't there also like with antiidepressant medications and like some other medications that may be contributing to this, let's call it dysfunction? Yeah, erectile. Yeah, and that's not... What else did you get? What else did you get, Sean? No, no, no, I was trying to be like all kind of scientific, you know, like backhanded, right?

Yeah. Yeah, but that's more of a chemical signal having to do with the serotonin receptors, but again, if you're on medications that affect your sex drive, but you need to take those medications, then you want to do the other things that offset it like exercise right and eat right. And then there's there's supplement, there's certain supplements that are out there that improve libido from a go eat horny go weed And man has been shown to improve erections and

spur mobility and then there's a maca maca root is another one Man and when is that like a civil volume I'm a interesting maybe For that maybe just in center just in zone that. Maybe Justin's on a roll. He's on a roll today. Hey, you guys. Mark has a good one. I feel like he just won't talk about fitness.

He wants to talk about something else. He does. Sorry, Alan. He's tight back in. Here we go. Come on, Sal. Save us. Have you guys ever heard the term coregasm?

Coregasm. Have you ever heard this? No. So I obviously run the subject. This is apparently it's not that's like a thing like apparently if women this happens women if they do certain core exercises they feel like they're going to orgasm. I'm not making the sure you guys are looking at me like I'm five. I have you me kegel exercises. What's going on in pilates? Does someone miss a lot? No, dude. No, I'm telling you right now. I swear to God if you put Google if you Google that in core

Orgasm no just core gasm or orgasms from working the core does look that up for me. Oh I'm telling you right now really that shit. Yeah It has to have something to do with that though when you're tightening down your core. I mean Oh, there's definitely a nerve or something that's getting, you know, that's getting stimulated, that's causing that sensation or whatever. Yeah, but it's an interesting thing. I've heard, I've had a couple of clients,

totally about that. Not while we're working out. The 75 year olds. Again, huh? It's the 75 year old again. Yeah. I have a feeling, I have a felt. Yeah, the more and more you keep talking about

the this client, I think that it might have something to do with their hot trainer Was she still the one that pinched your butt that one time you mentioned that no I wasn't a client that did that I mean that was someone at Malib Hill. I was reaching for supplements old lady She pinched my ass And she was a human being and she was like 90 dude. She was really Yeah, and she was a human being and she was like 90 dude. She was really It's you I look that I looked at her and she just deadlocked me like looked at me in the face like and then smile like she turned I'm like turn tilt head. Let's just like I'm the one that did that and she like a little bit. I'm like wow Thanks granny. That was hot. I'd rather have a candy. I feel like dogs have a really hard time finding this.

What is he doing? And poor gasms. Yeah. Thanks a lot, you're good. You're good. You're good. You have to get through all the garbage. Yeah.

People who are promoting corgasm exercises. Right. So that's just a marketing thing. But apparently there is a study that says corgasms with exercise are real. Whoa. I haven't read the article. This happens to be another time, Sal was right. Let's write that.

Yeah, according to the script. Wait, just disregard the last one of our colleagues. Hey, do you guys ever work out with your girls? Is that like a sexy thing or no? Yeah, man. Is it really? Yeah, yeah. It works. Yeah, it's good.

I mean, it's both ways. It's good. I mean, like, she likes to watch me. I like to watch her. It's this weird thing. You know, we try and leave the gym before it gets real weird. Yeah, no, for reals though, it's a, it's a, no, but it's good. Yeah, it just helps to kind of get the blood flowing and, you know, everything else.

I think it's a sweat in the pharaoh months too. What about you Adam? You'll work out with your girl. I know it gets weird when I work out with you. But I'm wondering. Well, man, you know, Horn is all those hips-ass you do. Yeah, no, I definitely, my girl and I work out every weekend together and it is I'm very focused though when it so I'm not like distracted like oh, I'm horny really as much as I am probably afterwards

So for me it's I'm saying I'm like the work out does that yeah, but I use that but I'm not like like eyeball I take a grab an impermanent yeah Yeah, you know, say like you see some couples that are in the gym with that where they're kind of you know They're grabbing around that pd a stuff. Yeah, either mine. I do it all ninja that yeah, yeah Yeah, get a little credit card. My little deadlifts a little deadlift credit card Little pinchy pinchy that's the move I yeah, no super little it's not anthrusts Especially with my girl PR's that turns me on when she lifts like heavier weight

Yeah, she would you when she hits a new yeah, when my girl gets all competitive. She'll see some girl doing like the Smith machine She talks shit there Look at her in a Smith machine with ten And she's like putting like 135. Yeah girl And Justin's like I'm going so I'm so going down on you later I'll be there all night. No. Just there. So exercise, sleep, nutrition.

What about foods? Foods you can eat that should help with libido. Soy. No. No, actually, it's fats. No, it's good fats, but you're right, Justin. That was a joke. You're right.

Too much, too high of a consumption of soy can potentially have negative effects because of the phytoestrogens found in soy. Is this also the same phytoestrogens? Is that the, or is that Xenoestrogens? It's from phystic. Yeah, Xenoestrogens are man-made plastic type of, or chemicals, excuse me, man-made chemicals that can interact with the estrogen receptor. Phiddle estrogens are the same thing they just come from plants.

Now, if you eat soy like a normal amount, you're okay, but if you eat a shit ton of soy or you're always drinking soy milk, it's gonna kill your dick. You can potentially have problems with your dick. Can you make that the mind pump me into this episode? This is a soy dick, it's gonna kill your dick. We start a soy, we start a this episode. I'm like, this is gonna be a good, this episode is a soy day. It's good. You know, we started soy.

We started this episode. I'm like, this is gonna be a good serious episode. What did you expect? Are you serious? I should have known. We're talking about libido, bro. It's already hard for us. That's an interject penis conversation.

It's like, yeah, it's like it's throwing me softballs a soul episode. Well, in my face, ladies and gentlemen, I'm trying my hardest to get back on top of it. Please forgive my... Here's another thing, which we're leaving out. When you work out, you look better. And you know what I'm saying?

It gives you more confidence. Of course. And that's gonna make you... You meant to last back a bit for sure. Total meant to last back. That's a big one. Yeah. I mean, do you know, when you're feeling fat, Adam,

do you feel horny? No, no, I'm definitely that guy for sure. Also just flexibility too, flexibility and mobility. I mean, how much are you more likely to want to have sex and you feeling that way when you can actually get up and move around? Yeah, move well and you feel good. Yeah, I mean, stiff. You're right. It's all about how you feel. Yeah, it's just like, if I'm feeling like all, like I had too many calories and I'm just all gassing like You know the backfire Trying to hit a PR
