Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

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: Which Rep Range Is Best for Your Goals? (2:16)

Research on how much acetaldehyde is released in the gut. (32:15)

The rules of the bathroom. (36:02)

Carnival King. (41:02)

Will resources solve all our problems? (42:13)

The dangers of Tylenol/acetaminophen. (51:00)

Ready-to-go protein drink that can go mainstream! (54:27)

Eating for abundance, and kids & food preferences. (57:10)

#Quah question #1 – Maybe this is silly, but I'm trying to take rest periods seriously and have a question. During my two to three minutes, do I need to sit still that whole time or can I prep the bar for my next workout and/or like stretch? (1:04:25)

#Quah question #2 – How can I build my legs/glutes when I have really bad knees? (1:07:37)

#Quah question #3 – Why can't you do trigger sessions all at once like a set of three instead of three different times a day?! (1:10:32)

#Quah question #4 – What are the pros and cons of cold plunge/ice baths, sauna, and hot tubs/hot baths? Is one better for weight loss, muscle gain, and mental health/recovery? (1:12:22)
