What exactly is Mental Masturbation? 

• It’s listening to podcasts passively versus immediately implementing what you learn
• It’s being part of a men’s group where you talk about your problems versus what you’ve attempted to do to solve them
• It’s writing in your men's or gratitude journal about your thoughts and feelings so you can manage the stress of being a man versus writing out the action steps necessary to deal with your very real-world problems

Long story short, Male Mental Masturbation is knowing what to do but not doing what you know, and talking the talk without walking the walk.

It's like going to the gym but not actually working out because you've convinced yourself (with a lot of help from society) that getting to the gym is good enough.

That all ends here!

As you'll soon discover, every episode of the MMU Podcast delivers what you'll come to know as the PodWod, aka your Podcast Workout of the Day. You'll get specific questions and actions - exercises with sets and reps - so you can crush it both inside and outside the gym.

If you're a man who is looking to Muscle-Up in every area of life, hit subscribe, stay tuned, and answer the only question that will matter going forward - How do YOU MMU?

Stay tuned for the first official MMU Podcast Bootcamp, a 5-part series specifically designed for June, which is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month:

• Part I - Are You Guilty of Mental Masturbation?  
• Part 2 - Top 5 Hidden Symptoms of Mental Masturbation 
• Part 3 - The 3 Big Lifts for Overcoming Mental Masturbation
• Part 4 - Developing Your Own Mental Health & Fitness Program 
• Part 5 - The Top 3 Supplements for Optimizing Your Mental Health & Fitness Program
