The MENtal Muscle-Up Podcast: The Cure For Mental Masturbation
185 episodes - English - Latest episode: 3 days ago -Welcome to the Mental Muscle-Up Podcast, the no-BS show that is the cure for Male Mental Masturbation.
If you're a podcast junkie, self-improvement buff, and fitness fanatic like me, then this podcast is for you.
To quote Derek Sivers, “If more information was the answer, then we’d all be billionaires with perfect abs.”
By focusing on quality over quantity when it comes to the content calories we consume from podcasts like Mind Pump, Modern Wisdom, Wits and Weights, The Tim Ferriss Show, and Huberman Lab, we will use gym principles like Progressive Overload, and Specificity to
Muscle-Up Our Mindset and Mental Health
Power Up Our Sense of Purpose, and
Build Bodies That Personify Peak Performance
Every episode of the Mental Muscle-Up Podcast inspires you to cure Male Mental Masturbation - which is defined as a term for overthinking or engaging in intellectual pursuits without practical application - as we go from passive consumption to immediate implementation with what we call the PodWod - your Podcast Workout of the Day.
Just like a training program in the gym, each PodWod gives a specific number of sets and reps in the form of questions and actions as we work on achieving the best podcast pump possible.
Since life is the ultimate workout, it’s time to start training for it. So hit subscribe, and stay tuned as we take the best of what works inside the gym and apply it outside the gym to Muscle-Up every area of our lives.
Welcome to the Mental Muscle-Up Podcast.

FACT - Like a physical disease, a mental disease isn’t something that just happens overnight. Rarely do we just have a breakdown out of nowhere as opposed to it being something that, if we simply paid attention to the warning signs, we would not only be able to predict but more importantly prevent. 🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we’re gonna be st...

Terms like ‘be the man’ or ‘man up’ are tossed around all the time when nobody seems to have taken the time to clearly define what doing...
4 Mistakes Nobody In the Health & Fitness Industry Is Talking About
July 04, 2024 10:00 - 37 minutes - 25.9 MB🤔 EP010 - Do you value your PHYSICAL Health & Fitness? Ask most men this question and they’ll answer in the affirmative. Most if not all will even tell you why they value it. But if actions speak louder than words, and our collective actions can be expressed through some pretty depressing stats in terms of obesity, life expectancy, and the leading causes of death being preventable, do we as men appreciate the very real-world and immediate impacts of either prioritizing or neglecting our Ph...
