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 why people can leg press a much higher weight than they can barbell squat, whether poor food choices slow down the amount of muscle you build, how getting older affects progress in the gym, and whether there is any validity to “health at any size.”

  • The GAME-CHANGING benefits of the ChiliPad ‘Ooler’. (4:49)
  • How Justin enjoyed the ‘comedy’ of the Twilight series. (11:50)
  • Recapping the Mind Pump Live event in Seattle, WA. (14:28)
  • Anti-manspreading chair designer receives 'backlash'. How memes are today’s political cartoons. (23:18)
  • Mind Pump Recommends ‘The Great Hack’ on Netflix. How people are NOT that hard to manipulate. (26:27)
  • How the times have truly changed... Teen 'Fortnite' champion won more than Tiger Woods at the Masters. (38:47)
  • What is good leadership all about? (42:44)
  • Mind Pump sends their deepest condolences and prayers to all affected by the Gilroy Garlic Festival tragedy. (44:30)
  • #Quah question #1 – Why can I leg press a much higher weight than they can barbell squat? (46:22)
  • #Quah question #2 – Do poor food choices slow down the amount of muscle you build for the hard gainer? Or does it not really matter as long as you hit your surplus calories? (55:47)
  • #Quah question #3 – If you are over 40 years old and train, you get better and stronger but are still getting older. How does getting older affect your progress in getting fitter? (1:05:17)
  • #Quah question #4 – What are your thoughts on the whole body positive, fat acceptance movement? Do you believe it’s a step in the right direction for self-acceptance or is it normalizing eating disorders and obesity? Do you believe there is any validity to “health at any size”? (1:12:08)
