Summary

In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer Pump Head questions about the best way to keep muscle while cutting, whether smelling salts actually do anything physically to help you lift, how often you should to do mobility work for each body part, and staying healthy while transitioning into a more intuitive, less calculated lifestyle.

  • Why the sleepy face Justin? (5:40)
  • Mind Pump Recommends, High Score on Netflix. (8:05)
  • Mind Pump’s “Choose your character.” (17:49)
  • Paleo Valley, high-quality nutrient-dense products in pill or food form. (22:02)
  • KFC is pulling back their classic slogan amid the pandemic. (24:25)

  • Sending prayers to Adam’s bulldog. (42:03)
  • #Quah question #1 – What is the best way to keep muscle while cutting? Is it possible to build muscle while in a deficit? (48:25)
  • #Quah question #2 – Do smelling salts do anything physically to help you lift? I heard one powerlifter say it helps open up your sinuses for easier breathing, but is that accurate? (54:32)
  • #Quah question #3 - How often should I do mobility work for each body part? I have multiple areas hindering my lifts, but find it hard to find the time needed each day. (1:01:10)
  • #Quah question #4 – I have been tracking and working with an online trainer for a while, but the constant tracking, measuring, and weighing has started to become an issue for my mental health. What are your suggested steps for someone who wants to continue to stay healthy, but also wants to transition into a more intuitive, less calculated lifestyle? (1:05:49)
