  • #ListenerLive question #1 - Any guidance for balancing commitment toward a specific goal with awareness regarding when to shift gears? (1:05:02)

  • #ListenerLive question #2 - How reliable are body scans? I decided to get a trainer to help me figure out nutrition more. I wanted to see more of the muscle I had been building, so I told her I'd like to cut fat. We did a body scan, and it said to eat about 1750 calories to lean out, which should be a 500-calorie deficit (according to the scan). (1:18:01)

  • #ListenerLive question #3 - After completing MAPS Anabolic, should I continue to chase the strength gains in a program like MAPS Strong, or should I move into something like Performance? While I continue to get stronger with every workout, I'm beginning to experience progressive stiffness throughout my lower back that I cannot seem to shake even with increased mobility work. (1:35:02)

  • #ListenerLive question #4 - I am currently 175 lbs., dropping about .5lb per week. Ideally, I'd like to get macro-focused again, so I can decrease some of the cardio. My goal is to maintain about 160lb. I don't know if I need to stay at maintenance calories while I decrease the cardio. Do I slowly back out of the cardio? I'm scared to scale back too much and gain weight. (1:42:36)

  • Mind Pump Fit Tip: Red-light therapy is legit! And the science supports it. (2:18)

  • Kids hear and copy EVERYTHING! (17:55)

  • A.I. that can read your mind, and the potential for good/bad. (22:54)

  • Turning PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) into PTG (Post-Traumatic Growth). (35:02)

  • LMNT is crushing it! (49:02)

  • Shout out to @homeandontheway. (53:29)

  • #ListenerLive question #1 - I feel a little lost and would love some guidance. When I was 13, I was diagnosed with anorexia. I am now recovered, and in 2020 I started running. I now run about 6 -7 miles 6 days a week, strength train for about an hour and a half 5 days a week, and average about 25000 steps. I have never gotten a period, and just got lab work finding out I have low estrogen, testosterone, and severe anemia. (57:18)

  • #ListenerLive question #2 - I have been consistently working out for over 20 years. I have a degree in nutrition. I would like to look like all the work I put in. What can I do? (1:12:16)

  • #ListenerLive question #3 - I've added heaps of salt to my diet and started to notice a lot of negative impacts. I'm just curious if there are any other known health risks to overconsuming salt in the presence of a wholefood diet? (1:28:20)

  • #ListenerLive question #4 - I would love to hear your thoughts on the concept of "intuitive training?" (1:39:46)

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: Ozempic will NOT solve your fat loss issues. It is NOT the cure for your bad health. Focus on behaviors and NOT the quick fix. (1:43)

  • Recapping the NCI Coaching Con event. (19:54)

  • Aurelius' five-star breakfast. (36:38)

  • McDonald's is quietly changing the fast-food industry. (38:50)

  • Will innovation get rid of all work? (44:44)

  • Bringing the Grizzly Bear back to California. (50:37)

  • The recommendations on sodium are garbage. (55:05)

  • Shout out to Russell Brand. (57:20)

  • #Quah question #1 - What's more important for building muscle, reps/load, or tempo? (58:44)

  • #Quah question #2 - I can often grind out a few extra reps if I take a pause (2-5 seconds) between the last few reps of a set to catch my breath. Does that mean I am "cheating" and should just end the set when I start slowing down too much? (1:03:18)

  • #Quah question #3 - What is the value of picking exercises that train muscles in the shortened and lengthened positions? (1:05:30)

  • #Quah question #4 - What are the best lower body exercises for older people with osteopenia in the legs? (1:09:41)
