• #Quah question #2 – Is it okay to change rep ranges and adjust weights for MAPS 15? (58:05)

• #Quah question #3 – Is it possible to build muscle in a deficit when you're obese? My thinking is that your body has enough energy to use so that you can still build muscle as long as you're hitting your protein target, even if you're in a deficit. (1:00:31)

• #Quah question #4 – How do you deal with a mass number of clients? I have 17 clients right now (big box gym) and am finding it difficult to stay on top of their programming and progress at times. (1:04:01)
