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: Here are three health habits I regret not starting in my 20s. (1:44)

  • Ninja cream. (14:57)

  • The education system must be disrupted! (19:02)

  • How the fitness industry has overcomplicated the process of building muscle and losing body fat. (22:30)

  • Should MMA go away? (30:12)

  • How we crave discipline and structure as a kid. (36:53)

  • A peptide that boosts immune function. (54:50)

  • Shout out to Brandon Carter! (58:09)

  • #Quah question #1 – If my workouts are good and I’m still progressively overloading and getting stronger, does that mean I’m not truly in a caloric deficit? (1:00:25)

  • #Quah question #2 – What is a good whole-food snack to eat before an early morning workout? I typically eat breakfast after but have been getting nauseous working out fasted. (1:03:14)

  • #Quah question #3 – If you’re not hitting your protein goal will creatine still help you build muscle? (1:05:15)

  • #Quah question #4 – Getting into powerlifting to eventually compete in the raw/classic division, should I already start lifting with knee sleeves, a belt and wrist straps or should I wait until I have some arbitrary weight before starting to use them? (1:07:17)
