Summary

In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer Pump Head questions about whether upright rows are safe, touch-and-go vs. dead-stop for exercises such as deadlifts, the benefits and detriments of rucking, and whether it is possible that humans could evolve to safely consume McDonald’s-type food daily and require less exercise.

  • The power and influence of YouTube celebrities. (5:25)
  • Are people more interested in seeing people fight who they KNOW, rather than see fighters that ACTUALLY fight for a living? (8:20)
  • The guys recap the feedback heard at the recent CPPS Coaches training course held at Mind Pump Headquarters. (17:20)
  • How everything we perceive is through a filter. (19:56)
  • Sal recommends One Child Nation on Prime Video. (26:34)
  • Adam and Sal are ruffling some feathers over on Twitter. (30:50)
  • Justin causing a ruckus at his kids’ latest flag football game. (36:14)
  • How using red light therapy can increase your free testosterone. (38:07)
  • MIIR continues to give back for an excellent cause. (42:43)
  • Justin’s secret “Mind Pump Mule” revealed in the latest newsletter. Subscribe TODAY! (43:53)
  • #Quah question #1 – I have heard the dangers of upright rows, but see them in MAPS Spilt. Are they safe? (46:44)
  • #Quah question #2 – What are your opinions on touch-and-go vs. dead-stop for exercises such as deadlifts? (52:06)
  • #Quah question #3 – What are your thoughts on rucking? Does it combine some of the benefits of resistance training with cardio? What impact does it have on posture? (56:40)
  • #Quah question #4 – Sal often says evolutionarily speaking, so I’m curious if you think it possible that humans could evolve to safely consume McDonald’s-type food daily and require less exercise? (1:01:06)
