  • #Quah question #1 – Maybe this is silly, but I'm trying to take rest periods seriously and have a question. During my two to three minutes, do I need to sit still that whole time or can I prep the bar for my next workout and/or like stretch? (1:04:25)

  • #Quah question #3 – Why can't you do trigger sessions all at once like a set of three instead of three different times a day?! (1:10:32)

  • #Quah question #4 – What are the pros and cons of cold plunge/ice baths, sauna, and hot tubs/hot baths? Is one better for weight loss, muscle gain, and mental health/recovery? (1:12:22)
