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: 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)

  • The Resistance Training Revolution. (43:46)

  • Gummies are the trend. (47:29)

  • The best bar soap lather out there! (48:17)

  • #Quah question #1 – I’m using a GLP-1 and doing the MAPS GLP-1 program, but I feel like it’s not enough. I’ve done Anabolic and Aesthetic before and love those. I already walk as well but feel like I need more strength training exercises. What should I do? (59:22)

  • #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? And for people who have made watching TV to fall asleep their routine, what suggestions do you have to fill this space until you’re ready to fall asleep? (1:04:16)

  • #Quah question #3 – If I don’t have access to places that have water tanks and DEXA scans, what is the next best-recommended way to test my body fat? (1:10:01)

  • #Quah question #4 – I just opened a training studio. Do you have any advice? (1:13:43)
