- #Quah question #2 – What do you think of trainers who are using unstable surfaces to train compound movements? For example, barbell back squat on wobble pillows? Or a Bosu ball? (57:51)
- #Quah question #3 – Because of COVID, I have been doing a lot of walking outside. You guys always talk about cardio and how it hinders muscle gain. Is there such a thing as too much walking hurting gains? (1:03:03)
