The Essence of Effective Leadership

In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin coach three Pump Heads via Zoom.

• Mind Pump Fit Tip: 7 attributes of a great leader. (2:09)

• Ginseng, the master adaptogen. (43:27)

• The guy’s frustration with the current state of the trainer space. (45:57)

• The differences between farmed vs wild-caught salmon. (52:25)

• #ListenerLive question #1 – Why does NASM recommend static stretching before resistance training if it turns on your parasympathetic nervous system? You guys say not to do any static stretching before your workout. (56:19)

• #ListenerLive question #2 – I’ve recently hit a plateau despite staying consistent with workouts and diet. I understand from your podcasts that sometimes increasing calories for 2-3 weeks can help break through a plateau. The problem is that I am on a GLP-1, my appetite is still low, and I can’t comfortably increase my intake much. Do you have any other suggestions or strategies to help break this plateau, considering my situation? (1:08:46)

• #ListenerLive question #3 – Do you have any advice on how to push past a mental and physical plateau? I want to be a good role model and show my boys that age is just a number, and that a man takes care of his body to care for his family and others. (1:22:31)
