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: 9 Reasons Getting Stronger is the Best Physical Pursuit. (1:58) The different stages of raising a child. (24:07) The ultimate nootropic, methylene blue. (42:27) Peeing outside. (48:16) Sauna/hot tub and sodium. (50:01) When your hormones are feeling REALLY good. (52:06) Kids say the darndest things. (56:00) #Quah question #1 – What are your thoughts on day-long workouts? I work from home most days, and I like to spread my workout throughout the day. (57:45) #Quah question #2 – How to break through plateaus? I've been stuck on preacher curls, among other exercises, for two months. (1:02:39) #Quah question #3 – I’m about as beginner as a beginner can get when it comes to lifting, to the point that I don’t know how to get started, and I have no clue what my baseline is. Do I just go to the weight bench and throw on some plates? What is the very first step for someone who has never lifted? (1:04:40) #Quah question #4 – You always mention going for a walk after a meal. Does going before eating have the same benefits or not?
