The Pump 17+

I have lifted weights off and on most of my 63 years. I have seen bigger gains here in just 8 months than any other time. I’ve lost 5% body fat and haven’t modified my diet (I was already eating healthy). I haven’t been this strong in a long time.
As a experienced lifter, it took some adjustment to only lifting 3 times a week. I stuck with the Foundation though and started Next Level after. The Next Level is no joke! I made it 3/4 through the program and switched back to the Foundation.
I think the key to the success of the app is locking in new users to the Foundation. It helps people new to working out stick with a program and really builds a strong foundation for more experienced lifters.
I also love that I don’t have to think about what I’m going to choose for a workout. I open up the app and just do it. If you can’t do an exercise because of limitations or access to equipment (busy gym) the app gives you alternative moves.
This app also provides a really positive community. Arnold, Adam, and Daniel answer questions, provide up to date information, and allow space to share your wins and setbacks

Arnold, Adam and Daniel run the app. They are always on and interacting with us. I say “us” because we are all in this together. Everyone on the app uses the messages / comments feature to support and advise one another. I don’t really have anyone in my life that works out and it’s been hard to choose to use my time for exercise. Too many distractions and reasons to say I should take it easy and relax. My cholesterol and related numbers were all too high for the third physical In a row back in January. I started the app when it first came out in April and because of the village I’ve worked out three or four times a week, every week and all my numbers are now on the middle or low end of normal.
Arnold, Adam and Daniel are always working to make the app better and I know they’ll never stop. They take pride in the app and in knowing how much it’s helping us. You can’t go wrong giving The Pump a try. It may not be for everyone but I can guarantee you will never feel like the time you spent with it was wasted.

This app is many things. First, it’s a weightlifting app that gives you access to routines and programs that, for someone like me who hasn’t lifted in 20 years, make it easy to be successful. I love watching Arnold, Daniel and Adam explaining exercises. It’s hilarious and gives you some insight into Arnold’s intensity, and the down to earth feels Daniel and Adam bring to the program. Second, there’s also some mental health components to the articles and comments where positivity rules in the app and it’s really uplifting. I love logging in and reading when I need to change my mood. Third, there’s some nutrition guidance in the articles. All three tie into the group’s other projects like Adam’s book on nutrition, You can’t screw this up. And the podcast/newsletter. I use all three resources now and have lost a little more than 50 pounds and put on a lot of muscle. It wasn’t easy and required some dedication but the Pump, the podcast and Adam’s book make it attainable without gimmicky diets. It’s been life changing.
