Navigating Caloric Complexity and Muscle Building

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: The exercise that you suck the most at is where all the gains are! (2:01)

• Adam’s embarrassing bowling injury. (12:23)

• Putting the chicken nuggets from Butcher Box through the ultimate test! (19:35)

• Weighing the pros and cons of assisted suicide. (44:26)

• Making your property a cemetery. (49:23)

• USA’s football blunder. (53:49)

• Is Pat McAfee a sore loser? (56:41)

• Shout out to the NCI x Mind Pump Tahoe Event! (59:44)

• #Quah question #1 - How do you determine that you have spent enough time building muscle and will have something to reveal once you go into a deficit? Do you base it on time spent building or weight gain or something else? (1:02:04)

• #Quah question #2 - Can you reverse diet after a show without putting on insane amounts of body fat? (1:06:39)

• #Quah question #3 - What's your take on exercise snacks? Besides pull-ups and pushups, what other exercises are great to do during your breaks? (1:10:15)

• #Quah question #4 - I’ve tried for 2 years to build the inner part of my bicep and nothing seems to work. When my arms are down to their sides, the part of the bicep that rests against my body looks awful! I work out 4x a week, and could lose 8-10 lbs. so nothing drastic…. I hate that part of my arms and I cover them up even in this heat. HELP! I want to go sleeveless! (1:14:20)
