- #Quah question #1 - I’ve been doing conventional deadlifts for a while now and have noticed massive improvements. I’ve seen a lot of debate as to whether rack pulls or conventional deadlifts are better for back development. What are your thoughts on this? (59:27)
- #Quah question #2 - I want to do the advanced version of Maps 15 and I have an EZ Curl Bar at home but not a straight bar. Are there any significant differences between the two types or would I be ok using the EZ curl for the exercises? (1:03:21)
- #Quah question #3 - How can I keep my body from swinging when doing hanging leg raises due to core stability issues or is there an alternative movement to replace these? (1:08:55)
- #Quah question #4 - Should you start a MAPS program over if you had to take a week off due to illness, travel, etc., or pick up where you left off? (1:12:03)
