(53:25)</span></li> <li aria-level="1"><span>#Quah question #2 – What do you think of trainers who are using unstable surfaces to train compound movements?

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)</span></li> <li aria-level="1"><span>#Quah question #4 – If women account for 50% of gym memberships and the population in general. And strength training is so important, why don’t gyms try to make efforts to entice women to lift?
