#ListenerLive question #1 - Any guidance for balancing commitment toward a specific goal with awareness regarding when to shift gears? (1:05:02)
#ListenerLive question #2 - How reliable are body scans? I decided to get a trainer to help me figure out nutrition more. I wanted to see more of the muscle I had been building, so I told her I'd like to cut fat. We did a body scan, and it said to eat about 1750 calories to lean out, which should be a 500-calorie deficit (according to the scan). (1:18:01)
#ListenerLive question #3 - After completing MAPS Anabolic, should I continue to chase the strength gains in a program like MAPS Strong, or should I move into something like Performance? While I continue to get stronger with every workout, I'm beginning to experience progressive stiffness throughout my lower back that I cannot seem to shake even with increased mobility work. (1:35:02)
#ListenerLive question #4 - I am currently 175 lbs., dropping about .5lb per week. Ideally, I’d like to get macro-focused again, so I can decrease some of the cardio. My goal is to maintain about 160lb. I don’t know if I need to stay at maintenance calories while I decrease the cardio. Do I slowly back out of the cardio? I’m scared to scale back too much and gain weight. (1:42:36)

In this episode of Quah, sponsored by Organifi (organifi.com, code "mindpump" for 20% off), Sal, Adam & Justin answer Pump Head questions about strategies for women who have screwed up their hormones and can't lose fat, if some people are genetically predisposed to having to take pharmaceuticals to be "normal," tips for persistent acne when the elimination diet has failed and pointers for avoiding lower back strain when doing a standard military press.

Justin talks his Thrive Market order (31:25)
Quah question #1 – Can you talk about dieting strategies for women who have screwed up their hormones from competing and have gained a ton of body fat and can’t lose weight? (38:27)
Quah question #2 – It seems there are two somewhat opposing views which are consistently discussed and represented on the show. The first is that there are some people who are simply genetically predisposed to superior fitness or athletic prowess, something that it would be hard for anyone to refute. The second is several times it has come up in reference to western medicine's ability to treat chronic health concerns. It came up recently when you spoke on ADHD. So if there are people who are simply genetically predestined to be superior in certain aspects, why would someone not simply be genetically predestined to be much weaker in a certain function such as focus? Is it realistic to think that there are people who will simply never be “normal” without some sort of daily pharmaceutical intervention? Does this represent a true belief for any of you or is it just a result of interpretation? (53:26)
Quah question #3 – Any tips for an adult male with acne? They have tried the elimination diet and eat organic. (1:09:12)
Probiotic sprays for your skin
Extended fast (24-48 hrs.) then switch to plant based diet
Quah question #4 – Can you give some pointers on lower back strain when doing overhead military press? (1:16:22)

#Quah question #1 – If my left bicep and shoulder are bigger than my right bicep and shoulder, does that mean I should be doing extra reps on the smaller, less developed arm? (47:21)
#Quah question #2 – Do I have to hit abs directly for every full-body workout or can I rely on compound lifts like deadlifts and squats to work the core? And just work out my abs directly once a week? (54:26)
#Quah question #3 - The front squat is now often regarded as more functional than the back squat. It doesn’t allow for as great of overload, but allows for a greater range of motion and is more quad focused, core and upper back demanding. Plus, if you deadlift the hamstring and glute emphasis is already there. Should the front squat take the pedestal from the back squat? (57:53)

#Quah question #2 – In a lot of your past podcast episodes, I have heard a lot about how to spot a bad or inexperienced trainer.
