2123: How to Activate the Glutes During an Exercise, the Truth About Processed Foods, How Hand Position Changes Exercises & More

In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer four Pump Head questions drawn from last Sunday’s Quah post on the @mindpumpmedia Instagram page. 

  • Mind Pump Fit Tip: GET your testosterone levels checked! (1:41)

  • The demonization of fitness is getting more nefarious. (11:46)

  • Casa Bonita, the ultimate restaurant experience. (39:32)

  • Fitness and epigenetics. (43:57)

  • The importance of 3rd party testing with your favorite protein powder. (46:22)

  • Everything is amplified today. (47:57)

  • Why are electric vehicles piling up? (53:26)

  • Shout out to Brandon Harris. (55:50)

  • Hiya is an excellent multivitamin for kids. (56:14)

  • #Quah question #1 – From watching YouTube Mind Pump clips and Squat University, I realized a wider stance with toes pointed outwards substantially adds depth to my squat. How can I tell if I’m masking ankle/hip mobility issues or if it’s just my anatomy? (58:05)

  • #Quah question #2 – How does a supinated, pronated, and neutral grip change or affect an exercise? (1:02:01)

  • #Quah question #3 – I am someone who can’t connect to their glute muscles very well when I squat so would it be better to go lighter on the movement and work on the mind-to-muscle connection or just continue to go heavy? Will I still see gains if I drop the weight? (1:08:20)

  • #Quah question #4 – In a recent episode, you guys mentioned avoiding processed foods as in anything in a wrapper or package. Does this mean that while eating a whole-food diet we would need to avoid Cheese!? (1:10:59)
