MindPump exposes the RAW TRUTH about health, fitness, nutrition and more... Hosts Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer & Justin Andrews pull back the curtain on the mythology, snake oil and pseudo-science that pervades the fitness industry and present science-backed solutions that result in increased muscular development and performance while simultaneously emphasizing health.

1366: The Benefits of Gymnastic Ring Training, Training for Performance Over Aesthetics, How to Program Full Body Workouts & More
In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer Pump Head questions about gymnastic rings, good performance goals to focus on, the primary and accessory exercises to program into a full body training routine, and their thoughts on bootcamps.
- Adam versus the bear. (6:30)
- It smells like a campfire in the bay area. (20:01)
- Updates on the evacuation notice for the Andrews family. (20:47)
- Putting things in perspective. (30:00)
- The online market is exploding for trainers. (37:09)
- A conversation surrounding the value of going to college and how statistics are misleading. (42:43)
- #Quah question #1 – What is your opinion on gymnastic rings? (50:14)
- #Quah question #2 – You guys often push to achieve performance goals versus aesthetic goals. What are some performance goals that I can focus on achieving, such as greater mobility or strength goals? (54:33)
- #Quah question #3 – If you were programming a full-body routine, what primary exercises would you build it around and how would you rotate in other accessory exercises? (1:04:41)
- #Quah question #4 – What are your thoughts on boot camps? I’m a trainer who focuses more on one-on-one training, but there are other trainers in my gym who do more group HIIT training. My concern is that the average person has high stress and performing these high-intensity exercises is only exacerbating that. I am supposed to be taking over some of those classes, but I worry that they are doing more harm than good. (1:12:56)
