#Quah question #1- I’m not feeling lateral raises much in my side delts, what can I do to activate them and see progress again? (49:01)
#Quah question #2 - To lose fat is it all about calorie deficit or is it about macros? (51:24)
#Quah question #3 - What's the best peptide for just overall body soreness/healing? Depending on the MAPS program I’m doing, I train BJJ 2-3 times a week and strength train 3-5 times. (54:31)
#Quah question #4 - People come on as live callers saying they have followed you guys for years, and follow up by saying stuff like, “I eat 1600 calories a day”, “I run 15 miles a week” or “I weigh myself every morning”. Why do you think people can hear you speak all this knowledge so often and just don’t get it? (58:42)
