About this episode

  • #Quah question #1 - How do you find and maintain a neutral spine while doing conventional deadlifts? When (if ever) is it normal to see some lower or upper back rounding? (1:10:53)

  • #Quah question #2 - My right arm is weaker than my left & it affects my barbell curls in that my left doesn't feel fatigued at 8 reps while my right is struggling for form. Should I stay at a lower weight until my right arm catches up or switch to dumbbells? (1:18:02)

  • #Quah question #4 - If all of you had to do a different podcast, but it couldn’t be fitness-related, what would you talk about? (1:26:05)
