Jun 23, 2023

In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer four Pump Head questions from  the Sunday @mindpumpmedia Quah post.

• Mind Pump Fit Tip: Eat more protein to mitigate fat gain during a bulk. (1:36)

• Mind Pump Training Updates: Adding in unconventional lifts, hitting a 700 lbs. deadlift, and maintaining a healthy physique by doing less. (7:15)

• Arnold Schwarzenegger, the epitome of the American/immigrant dream. (19:29)

• The idea of exercise-induced ‘hyperplasia’ (growing new muscle fibers) is taught as a myth. (33:27)

• Weird compliments. (36:02)

• Seed, the BEST probiotic in the business. (45:34)

• Shout out to Patrick Bet-David. (46:30)

• #Quah question #1 – On your most recent podcast you talked about how cardio isn’t good for weight loss but if you are living a sedentary lifestyle and your job requires you to sit for most of the day, is it ok to walk on the treadmill at a steady speed for about 30 minutes? (47:21) 

• #Quah question #2 – When do you know it is time to change up your workout routine? (50:53)

• #Quah question #3 – What is the optimal dose of creatine? (55:18)

• #Quah question #4 – Do you see value in adding rotation to horizontal pushing or rowing movements just like you do in an Arnold press? (58:13)
