  • Here’s why bands DO NOT cause as much muscle damage as other forms of training. (58:32)

  • Shout out to the Mind Pump Newsletter. (59:54)

  • #Quah question #1 - Can you use light weights (instead of bands) for trigger sessions? (1:01:32)

  • #Quah question #2 - While in a cut, is it better to hit your protein for the day or stay within your calories? (1:03:59)

  • #Quah question #3 - Can you increase strength but not muscle mass? Likewise, is it possible to gain muscle in one body part and lose muscle in others? A recent dexa showed I lost muscle in my trunk but gained elsewhere. Does not make sense to me. (1:08:07)

  • #Quah question #4 - Are you better off running a mile a day or 3-5 miles a couple times a week? (without having any race goals, only leisure) Which would be more beneficial for cardiovascular health and lower impact on joints? (1:11:01)
