2937: The Best Workout Program To Grow Your Butt & Reveal Your Abs

Adam Schafer, Justin Andrews, Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer, Justin Andrews
Show Notes

Mind Pump hosts Sal, Adam, and Justin introduce their new MAPS Abs and Butt program, designed to target the two most requested yet undertrained body parts. They explain why many people fail to develop visible abs and rounded glutes despite consistent training, often due to incorrect exercise execution, poor mind-muscle connection, and insufficient nutrition. The episode covers the evolutionary basis for why these features are attractive, the science of cross-education, and the program's unique phase structure that prioritizes muscle activation before heavy loading. The hosts also emphasize the critical role of eating in a calorie surplus to build muscle in these stubborn areas.
