MindPump exposes the RAW TRUTH about health, fitness, nutrition and more... Hosts Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer & Justin Andrews pull back the curtain on the mythology, snake oil and pseudo-science that pervades the fitness industry and present science-backed solutions that result in increased muscular development and performance while simultaneously emphasizing health. No fitness institution or fitness "truth" is safe from their quick wit and over 40 years of combined experience in the fitness industry. Produced by Doug Egge.

- #Quah question #1 - How to get the Christmas tree back, especially the lower back/lower lats? (1:05:02)
- #Quah question #2 - What is your favorite way to strengthen knee stability? I can squat conventionally in the 400s with great form and depth. I recently tried Bulgarian split squats and was shocked by how unstable my knees were and how low I had to bring the weight to maintain proper form. (1:09:47)
- #Quah question #3 - Can you do too much low-intensity cardio? I'm currently in a muscle-building phase, averaging around 17k steps a day, my strength is going up, but my weight is the same. Should I decrease my steps or not worry about it? (I'm 17yo 6ft 115lbs and only started lifting a couple of months ago) (1:15:02)
- #Quah question #4 - What are the indicators that I am training with the right volume? (1:19:12)
