  • Mind Pump Fit Tip: Build muscle now, lose it, build muscle again much faster the second time around. (2:08)

  • The motivation behind Adam’s transformation Docuseries: “I Lost 50 lbs. of Muscle; Watch Me Build it Back.” (11:27)

  • Couple workouts. (25:34)

  • Going off to college and the possibility of leaving California. (30:06)

  • Mind Pump Recommends ‘Masters of the Air’ on Apple+. (34:05)

  • “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And weak men create hard times.” (38:53)

  • #Quah question #2 – You speak about the 3-2-1 sleep protocol (describe the protocol), but what do you do or suggest people do in the last hour without screens?
