(46:25) #Quah question #1 - Is the muscle-building signal you send, when you perform resistance training, specific to only the muscles you train, or can it  have an overall effect on the body? I recently sustained a knee injury and can’t do lower body training. I am trying to preserve muscle. (48:14) #Quah question #2 – I'm training for the firefighter academy. I’m 6’1”, 195 pounds, and have been following MAPS Anabolic. Which program should I choose next, and should I be at maintenance or bulk? I need to be running with 75 pounds of equipment. (52:54) #Quah question #3 – I spend most of my day on a chair due to online classes. Is there any benefit to sitting cross-legged for hip mobility or should I just do exercises to prevent low back pain? (58:05) #Quah question #4 – What realizations did you have in your 20’s that changed your life?
