#Quah question #1 – Can I or should I train my arms on “off-days” for optimal muscle growth? Or are compound lifts sufficient in developing arms? (53:25)
#Quah question #2 – What do you think of trainers who are using unstable surfaces to train compound movements? For example, barbell back squat on wobble pillows? Or a Bosu ball? (57:51)
#Quah question #3 – Because of COVID, I have been doing a lot of walking outside. You guys always talk about cardio and how it hinders muscle gain. Is there such a thing as too much walking hurting gains? (1:03:03)
#Quah question #4 – If women account for 50% of gym memberships and the population in general. And strength training is so important, why don’t gyms try to make efforts to entice women to lift? (1:07:15)
