#Quah question #1 – I keep seeing female fitness influencers show off their flat stomachs and basketball-sized booties while telling social media how this look is attainable. But is it really?

So, how can I or anyone else achieve that basketball-sized booty while attaining a flat stomach at the same time? (56:31)
#Quah question #2 – How often should I change my routine? Should it be a complete overhaul or a change to a specific exercise? (1:00:17)
#Quah question #3 – Are belt squats as beneficial as barbell squats? (1:04:45)

#Quah question #1 – Should you add more weight or do more reps? (59:06)
#Quah question #2 – I’ve heard you guys say protein is hit or miss daily, it’s not a weekly average. Why? If I hit 150G one day, 250G the next, for an average of 200G per day, why does that not work? (1:04:21)
#Quah question #3 – I keep seeing that taking Baking Soda before you work out will give you bigger pumps. Is there any truth to this? I’m worried instead of getting bigger pumps it’s going to be bigger dumps. (1:06:25)
#Quah question #4 – Any tips for hitting all heads of the triceps when behind-the-neck movements cause elbow pain/discomfort? I don’t think it’s a mobility issue, since the pain is at the flexion point, not when having hands behind the head. (1:10:31)
