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: Hurry is the enemy of peace, joy, and growth. (1:46)

  • What’s going on in Mexico? (14:41)

  • The stress before election years. (16:31)

  • COVID vaccines could be partly to blame for the rise in excess deaths since the pandemic. (19:44)

  • #Quah question #1 - Any suggestions to help build muscle more efficiently if I don't have time to rest at least 2-3 minutes between sets and can’t go more than 3 days a week to the gym? Can I still build muscle by resting 1 minute to a minute and a half between sets? (54:31)

  • #Quah question #4 - I’ve just come across the term “functional fitness.” Have you all heard of this? What are the differences and benefits between traditional lifting and functional fitness? (1:04:07)
