#Quah question #1 – I travel a lot for work, what kind of isometric exercises can I do while sitting in the car? (1:00:14)
#Quah question #2 – What are your thoughts on posing after a workout? I am hoping to gain a better connection and control over different muscles. Is it something I should incorporate into my training or is it something just for competitors? (1:05:05)
#Quah question #3 – I get dizzy after performing every set of deadlifts. I warm up to my PR of 195 lbs. I fuel up before my workouts and I drink LMNT with 5mg of creatine during my workouts. Am I not getting enough o2? Is this due to ineffective breathing? (1:10:04)

#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)
