2073: The Best Way to Do a Dumbbell Pull...

SAL DI STEFANO, ADAM SCHAFER, JUSTIN ANDREWS, DOUG EGGE
About this episode

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: Find a pre-workout that MAXIMIZES usable focus! Everything else is pretty much a waste. (2:09)

  • Kids have no filter. (9:54)

  • Justin’s latest ‘Gymnastics Dad’ trip to Arizona. (13:03)

  • Adam Recommends Silo on Apple+. (26:27)

  • The power of music. (30:36)

  • Making social media work for you. (38:51)

  • The misconception that resistance bands are for beginners. (44:02)

  • Fun Facts with Justin: The Star-Nosed Mole. (47:33)

  • Shout out to Tom Haviland. (49:52)

  • #Quah question #1 - When doing dumbbell pullovers in Phase 3 of Anabolic, the video shows the guy doing them lying lengthwise on the bench. I saw on Adam’s YouTube video with Dr. Jordan Shallow that they are lying across the bench. Is there a difference, or a better way when doing this exercise? (51:36)

  • #Quah question #2 - If you had to build a personal training business from scratch, how would you do it? (55:40)

  • #Quah question #3 - What are your opinions on Ashwaganda? I know most supplements are a scam, but I’ve read a few clinical trials on it that seem to indicate strong positive effects. (1:05:32)

  • #Quah question #4 - How do you deal with the negative bullshit from social media? (1:10:57)
