Summary

In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer Pump Head questions about daily undulation, keeping your feet and knees straight during a squat or deadlift, how to reduce volume when overtraining, and what a good relationship with food looks like vs. a poor one.

  • Using photobiomodulation for brain disorders?! A new study shines a light. (4:45)
  • We are NOT supposed to play god. The guys discuss the Netflix series Unnatural Selection and just because we can do it, doesn’t mean we should. (8:08)
  • Never take health advice from a bodybuilder. (13:50)
  • The creepy things people can do with technology. (18:40)
  • The guys share their service industry stories from HELL! (22:36)
  • What’s up with Bill Cosby?! (36:06)
  • #Quah question #1 – What do you guys think about daily undulation? (39:27)
  • #Quah question #2 – How do you work on keeping your feet and knees straight during a squat or deadlift? I’ve tried keeping them that way, but it’s more comfortable to point my toes slightly out. (47:15)
  • #Quah question #3 – When overtraining you talked about lowering the volume. Should we reduce the volume on big ‘key’ lifts or smaller lifts? (52:52)
  • #Quah question #4 – You always talk about the importance of relationships with food. Can you give an example of what a good relationship with food looks like vs. a poor one? (58:44)
