Summary

In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer Pump Head questions about using chalk and grip strength, cold showers vs. ice baths for cold exposure therapy, tips on knowing when to push a client to do more reps and when to back off, and their all-time favorite body weight.

  • Introducing MAPS Suspension! (8:11)
  • The famous vegan you would NOT expect, the money grabs in boxing & MORE. (17:36)
  • The effectiveness of plant proteins vs animal proteins. (23:24)
  • Ancestry.com buyout, user beware. (27:00)
  • Social Media Wars are heating up! (30:50)
  • Wagyu beef 101. (32:56)
  • The impact and effects of distance learning on children. (35:55)
  • #Quah question #1 – I know you are not fans of wrist straps, because of losing the potential grip strengthening. What about chalk, liquid, or powder? My hands sweat a lot and chalk seems to help with that, but I don’t want to hinder my grip strengthening. (46:56)
  • #Quah question #2 - Cold exposure therapy is said to have many health benefits. Would taking a cold shower be an alternative to taking an ice bath? Does your body need to hit a certain temperature in order to see the benefits be activated? (52:40)
  • #Quah question #3 – Any tips on knowing when to push a client to do more reps and when to back off? How do I know the difference between true physical exhaustion or them mentally giving up? (58:43)
  • #Quah question #4 – For each of you, what has been your favorite bodyweight and why? (1:03:14)
