Summary
In this episode of Quah, sponsored by Organifi (organifi.com/mindpump, code "mindpump" for 20% off), Sal, Adam & Justin answer Pump Head questions about how to proceed with your workout when all the major equipment is taken, where to pick up after a hiatus from working out, if it is better to do a slow, more gradual cut as opposed to a shorter, more drastic “mini cut," and how body dysmorphia can sabotage our health and fitness goals.
- Why the guys want to get an autotune machine. (5:37)
- How KISS is the death of all metal. (6:50)
- Why time and patience are extremely important when it comes to facilitating change. Adam updates the audience on his recent testosterone levels using the Everly Well tests. (12:38)
- The paradox of being around a lot of people: The rise of loneliness in big societies. (22:38)
- The popularity of delivery services: How we now are justifying going to the store or not. (31:50)
- The CBD market craze and how companies like Ned stand out in the crowd. (38:40)
- The importance of vetting sources in the proven guilty till innocent era: Buzzfeed vs. Tony Robbins. (44:04)
- The underground war of information: The US vs. China tariff trade war. (52:55)
- #Quah question #1 – When the gym is absolutely packed and all the major equipment is taken, what do you suggest doing? Improvise using lighter weights with higher reps or choose different exercise? (58:23)
- #Quah question #2 – After a 2-week period of no workouts during a program (like MAPS Anabolic), is it better to continue where you left off or to start the program all over again? (1:10:46)
- #Quah question #3 – Is it better to do a slow, more gradual cut as opposed to a shorter, more drastic “mini cut”? (1:16:30)
- #Quah question #4 – Can you go in depth on what body dysmorphia is and how it can sabotage our health and fitness goals? And how it can affect our daily life as well as physical and emotional health? (1:21:48)
