Deep dives
The Battle of Big Pharma and Big Food
Big pharma and big food are about to face off as the rise of weight loss peptides like semaglutide threatens the snack food industry. Snack food investors are concerned about the impact on consumption and are asking tough questions of executives. This battle between two powerful industries is likely to result in a propaganda war as both sides try to protect their interests.
The Potential of TB 500 Peptide
TB 500 or thymusin beta four is a peptide known for its recovery and healing properties. It has been reported to accelerate healing of muscle tissue and is often combined with BPC 157 for optimal results. Early user reviews have shown promising effects on recovery and muscle healing, making it a popular choice among those looking to enhance their post-workout recovery.
The Brentwood Squatter Laws
The squatter laws in California have created a situation where tenants can refuse to leave rented properties, causing significant financial and legal challenges for property owners. An example of this is the case of a tenant in Brentwood who has been in a short-term rental for 500 days and is now demanding $100,000 to leave. The laws in California make it extremely difficult for property owners to evict tenants, leading to frustrations and financial losses.
The History of Stickum in Football
Up until 1980, football players were permitted to use Stickum, a sticky substance, to enhance their grip on the ball. However, this practice was eventually banned due to its unfair advantage and potential safety concerns. Stickum was commonly applied to players' hands and arms to improve their ability to catch and handle the ball, but its use is now prohibited in professional football.
The importance of hiring personal trainers with the right characteristics
When hiring personal trainers, it is crucial to evaluate their characteristics and values. Look for individuals who are likable, have good communication skills, and demonstrate a passion for helping others. Prioritize their character, integrity, and willingness to learn. Experience and certifications are beneficial, but not always necessary. Conduct behavioral-based interviews to assess their problem-solving skills, ability to admit when they don't know something, and willingness to seek guidance. By focusing on these qualities, you can build a team of exceptional trainers.
The impact of post-workout nutrition depends on individual factors
The decision to eat immediately after a workout depends on individual circumstances. If someone has gut issues or experiences digestive problems, it is advisable to avoid eating right after a workout. For those who struggle to meet their protein and calorie needs, or plan on working out again later in the day, eating post-workout can be beneficial. These individuals may find it helpful for performance and recovery. However, for the general population, it ultimately does not make a significant difference when it comes to post-workout nutrition.
Essential considerations for personal trainers in a gym setting
When seeking employment as a personal trainer in a gym, certain requirements are essential. These include demonstrating a passion for the profession and a willingness to learn and abide by specific values and principles. While education and experience can be valuable, they are not always the deciding factors. Rather, character traits like likability, communication skills, trustworthiness, and the desire to positively impact clients' lives are crucial. Conducting behavioral-based interviews and observing their problem-solving abilities can help identify suitable candidates to become exceptional trainers.

#Quah question #1 - How do I train to failure for the most muscle building when I train alone? (1:03:08)
#Quah question #2 - Every time my family sees a video of me squatting, they say “Watch your knees,” because the women in my family have a history of arthritis & bursitis. Are there any special considerations I should consider while lifting with that history? (1:10:24)
#Quah question #3 - You talk about the detriment of eating immediately post-workout as your body is still in sympathetic drive. However, I’ve heard from other sources that this is precisely why you “should” eat post-workout as it gets the body into parasympathetic drive quickly. So, I’m confused, should I eat or not eat immediately after my workout? (1:18:44)
#Quah question #4 - If you owned a gym today, what requirements would a brand new trainer need to meet before they could train someone in your gym? (1:22:47)
