In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer four Pump Head questions from the Sunday @mindpumpmedia Quah post.

• Mind Pump Fit Tip:  Three things NOBODY tells you about gaining muscle after 40. (1:53 )

• Does your birth order play a role in your IQ? (21:14 )

• Defining success and embracing the struggle. (31:50 )

• Organifi’s Starter Kit. (43:09 )

• Underrated exercises. (45:19 )

• GLP-1s impact on your skin. (51:39 )

• The importance of starting a skincare routine. (54:30 )

• Shout out to Brad Jensen! (57:02 )

• #Quah question #1 – How do you gauge appropriate workout intensity? I never get sore, but I have a feeling my workouts are too intense as I have overtraining symptoms. How do you gauge the appropriate dose because I’m scared of doing too little? (58:01 )

• #Quah question #2 – As a 30+ year old female, how realistic is it to achieve and maintain a low enough body fat percentage that showcases abs, leg muscles, defined shoulders, and maintain a healthy hormone profile? Is this possible to maintain without tracking? (1:04:46 )

• #Quah question #3 – Are there any pros and/or cons for lifting low reps and heavy weight for 5-8 reps and mid-weight for 10-12 reps in the same workout in a Push/Pull/Legs split? (1:09:56 )

• #Quah question #4 – What are your thoughts on pausing the use of a GLP-1 for a couple of weeks to do a mini-bulk and then get back on the GLP-1? My calories have dropped low, and I am wondering if interrupting the large deficit with a little bulk would keep me on the right track. (1:15:00 )
