Summary

In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer four Pump Head questions drawn from last Sunday’s Quah post on the @mindpumpmedia Instagram page.

  • Mind Pump Fit Tip: Should you eat breakfast? Or what should you do before you eat breakfast? (1:45)

  • When a rebrand makes something cool again. (26:14)

  • Why are we policing the internet all of a sudden? (32:26)

  • The trends around fitness with Gen Z. (41:05)

  • Fun Facts with Justin: A surprising athlete who promoted their own fitness book. (42:40)

  • The evolution of the modern athlete. (44:34)

  • The most expensive collectibles. (49:06)

  • Looking ‘buffer’ in State & Liberty. (54:26)

  • Shout out to the Mind Pump Trainers Instagram. (57:08)

  • #Quah question #1 - Can you please give me more details on why our body needs rest days and time to recover & adapt? I’ve heard it over and over and still have this drive that makes me want to work hard every day. It’s hard for me to slow down and really give my body a rest, and I am fatigued. On a practical level, what can I tell myself and how can I convince myself that it's safe to take a rest day and I won’t lose progress? (58:26)

  • #Quah question #2 - What’s the importance of ‘time under tension’ in the context of building strength vs size? (1:05:30)

  • #Quah question #3 - My range of motion and form gets compromised as I lift heavier. Is it better to go lighter and get a deeper range of motion & more control or stay heavier with a more limited range of motion? (1:11:15)

  • #Quah question #4 - How many warm-up sets do you suggest? As you progress through the workout and get to the 3rd and 4th exercises do you need as many warm-up sets? (1:15:57)
