    Mind Pump Fit Tip: What is Good Gym Culture? (3:05)

    They don't even know. (20:33)

    Physical feats. (21:45)

    Adam's DEXA scan results, a caution if considering a GLP-1, and body fat tests are not the end-all, be-all. (24:57)

    How Caldera has single-handedly built a men's skincare market. (33:48)

    #Quah question #1 – Are belt squats a good alternative to barbell back squats? (1:03:09)

    #Quah question #2 – Do full-body massages help with recovery and muscle growth? (1:05:13)

    #Quah question #3 – Can you shed some light on the counterintuitive idea that our bodies need to consume hundreds of grams of protein in excess of our feeling full signal? It just feels unnatural. I can see why consuming too little protein is obviously an issue, but does our body really know how to utilize such a massive protein intake? (1:09:24)

    #Quah question #4 – If you could only do one, would it be a cold plunge or sauna? Why? (1:13:09)
