  • Mind Pump Fit Tip: Understand yourself first to move forward. (1:57)

  • A big win for Justin and Sal. (22:12)

  • As you get older, it gets easier. (24:32)

  • Shout out to Mind Pump Live! (1:00:16)

  • #Quah question #1 - Whenever I travel, I end up losing weight because I am so scared of perfectly tracking food that I end up restricting. How do you balance staying active and choosing healthy meals while away without being overly restrictive? (1:01:12)

  • #Quah question #2 - What are the most useful certifications for a new aspiring personal trainer going into the industry? What should I start with to get my foot in the door? (1:04:31)

  • #Quah question #3 - If steps are controlled, does it matter if you get them from long-distance running or walking and would it affect your muscle building? (1:07:05)

  • #Quah question #4 - Any benefit to "pre-exhausting" large muscles before compound lifts? That way you can use lighter weight and still reach close to failure with less risk. (1:10:09)
