The MENtal Muscle-Up Podcast: The Cure For Mental Masturbation
Carl J. Berryman
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
- Raise the Bar in Our Relationships
- 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.

🤔 EP018 - If you’ve hit a plateau with your physique and you’re not happy with the body you see staring back at you in the mirror, what’s the anchor you need to weigh so that you don’t stay stuck where you are permanently?
FACT - 30-40% of us men are not happy with the way we look, feel, and perform and a good 85% of us wish we had more muscle. And since our bodies - whether we like it or not - are a clear sign to the world of our level of masculinity, how trustworthy we are, and how much we care about ourselves and our families, what is it going to take for us to flip the switch on masculine health and fitness?
🎙️ In today's podcast, I’m going to talk about something super embarrassing when it comes to my body in hopes that the transformation I have been able to make - both in mind and body - inspires you to take a good, honest look as to whether or not you’re selling yourself short, holding yourself back, or both.

How to Make Or Break Habits That Make Or Break YOU!
The MENtal Muscle-Up Podcast: The Cure For Mental Masturbation
10/16/22 • 43 min
Episode 023 of IBI was inspired by James Clear both from his interview with Rich Roll on the Rich Roll podcast as well as from his book Atomic Habits. We're crushing five Morning Muscle-Ups today so take em all in or check out the ONE in the description below that hits you the hardest at first glance.
This episode of IBI is for you if...
MMU #1 - You can't seem to stay consistent when it comes to working out and eating healthy and you want a tried-and-true way to up your motivation to stick with it long-term (3:09)
MMU #2 - Your romantic relationship is lacking in romance hard and you want to know one of the biggest mistakes couples make without even realizing it so you can fix things before it's too late (10:53)
MMU #3 - You're not known for having a ton of patience and you'd like to get your emotions under control so that you don't lose your shit so easily (17:52)
MMU #4 - You struggle to build new habits and you want to know the two biggest mistakes people make when trying to start a new habit and how to avoid them. (26:36)
MMU #5 - You're an entrepreneur or wantrepreneur who feels stuck and you can't seem to find the right path for you. (36:13)
Which MMU will you do?
One of the best lines I got from this podcast was when James Clear said, “This is what in the book I call the difference between motion and action. Action can actually deliver a result but motion is related to that but never will.”
If you just listen to this, you're simply going through the motions.
If you want to take ACTION and actually see results, here is what I am challenging you to do right now:
Whichever MMU hit you the hardest, DO IT!
Need some support?

Huge shout out to Rich Roll for inspiring this episode of IBI.

Self-Sabotage: What Most of Us Get Wrong and Why It Keeps F*cking Us Over
The MENtal Muscle-Up Podcast: The Cure For Mental Masturbation
08/16/24 • 14 min
🤔 EP027 - If we are our own worst enemy, and this enemy typically shows up as self-sabotage, how the hell do we manage or even eliminate self-sabotage so that we stop taking 2 steps forward only to take 3, 5, or 768 steps back?
“Habits seem to make little difference on any given day, and yet the impact they deliver over the months and years can be enormous.” - James Clear🎙️In today's podcast, we're going to take a very different look at self-sabotage and discover not the root cause but the seeds of self-sabotage that we need to become aware of if we ever hope to level up our PHYSICAL Health & Fitness.👉🏾 Do You Want to MMU?

What Does It Mean to Be A Man’s Man?
The MENtal Muscle-Up Podcast: The Cure For Mental Masturbation
07/09/24 • 42 min
🤔 EP011 - What kind of a man are you? While a seemingly rhetorical question, this is one that will ultimately determine the quality of your relationships, and therefore the quality of your life.
FACT - Masculinity has never been so ambiguous as it is today, which means it’s getting harder and harder for men themselves to define what it means to ‘be a man’. 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 those things entails.
🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we’re going back into RELATIONSHIP Health & Fitness and answering four very simple yet powerful questions:
💪🏾 PodPump#1 - Are you a sofa friend or a treadmill friend, and what does the answer to that question tell you about the kind of man that you are? (3:52)
💪🏾 PodPump#2 - What is one non-negotiable aspect of manhood and being an example for the men around you that is usually overlooked and renders men impotent pawns in a world that seems to demonize true masculinity? (12:15)
💪🏾 PodPump#3 - How the hell do we make friends as adult men? Seriously...where do we go to find men we can interact with and once we do, how the hell do we go from simply interacting to actually connecting? (25:03)
💪🏾 PodPump#4 - With everyone pointing to the Goggins’ or the Jockos of the world for examples of what a ‘real man’ is, are there equally as good (perhaps even better) examples of good men we can look to as role models right in our own backyards? (33:21)

🎙️ “Don’t talk, just act. Don’t say, just show. Don’t promise, just prove.” - Unknown

Is your wife or girlfriend your BEST friend? If so, you could be in trouble.

How to Avoid Taking Your Dreams to the Grave With You
The MENtal Muscle-Up Podcast: The Cure For Mental Masturbation
10/19/24 • 17 min
🤔 EP051 - If you’re an entrepreneur with the goal of disrupting an entire industry because you’re tired of seeing people suffer from the bullshit advice they get from the so-called gurus, what is the unseen war we must wage and win over and over again to avoid taking our dreams to the grave with us?
“Success is not a goal to reach or a finish line to cross. It is a system to improve, an endless process to refine.” - James Clear
🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our PURPOSE Health & Fitness.
FACT - One of the things that really sucks about losing weight is the longer you wait to do it the harder it is to get started. On top of that, there’s the obvious downfall of the amount of weight you put on increasing in proportion to the time you waste deciding to take action.
When it comes to getting our message out there and doing what we love not only for profit but just as importantly for Purpose, the same rule applies. The longer you put shit off out of fear of failure the more your failure compounds, and one day you’ll wake up and realize that the work you have to do is substantially more than the work you should have done.
