Summary

In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer Pump Head questions about how to lose 50+ pounds, whether you lose muscle mass as you age, the difference doing seated vs standing exercises makes, and organizing the payment side of a personal training business.

  • Adam shares his experience visiting the ‘magical’ place that is Organifi HQ: Good vibes + excellent culture = success. (4:20)
  • Does having a higher IQ mean you're more at risk of developing a mental illness than the rest of the population? (20:42)
  • How Kayne West is finding himself through religion. (24:36)
  • The importance of being the example rather than the preacher. (27:30)
  • What has the feedback been like from the Nir Eyal episode? (32:56)
  • Sal’s daughter is hooked on her Felix Gray glasses. (33:46)
  • Why LeBron James is full of shit. The importance of standing behind what you are doing. (35:50)
  • #Quah question #1 – What is your best advice for someone who wants to lose 50+ pounds? Where to start, how to stay motivated and how to transition from unhealthy to healthy habits? (43:08)
  • #Quah question #2 – I've heard the older you get you begin to lose muscle mass. Is this true? If it’s true, can it be reversed with weight training? Is it harder to make gains the older you get? (54:52)
  • #Quah question #3 – When it is appropriate to sit or stand for an exercise? For example, seated dumbbell curls vs standing dumbbell curls. What difference does sitting vs standing make? (1:04:53)
  • #Quah question #4 – I recently went full-time with my training business and I’m trying to organize the payment side of the business. How do you recommend going about payments, so you can scale the business better? (1:10:40)
