#Quah question #1 - How to get the Christmas tree back, especially the lower back/lower lats? (1:05:02)
#Quah question #2 - What is your favorite way to strengthen knee stability? I can squat conventionally in the 400s with great form and depth. I recently tried Bulgarian split squats and was shocked by how unstable my knees were and how low I had to bring the weight to maintain proper form. (1:09:47)
#Quah question #3 - Can you do too much low-intensity cardio? I'm currently in a muscle-building phase, averaging around 17k steps a day, my strength is going up, but my weight is the same. Should I decrease my steps or not worry about it? (I'm 17yo 6ft 115lbs and only started lifting a couple of months ago) (1:15:02)
#Quah question #4 - What are the indicators that I am training with the right volume? (1:19:12)
