#Quah question #1 – I'm a 35-year-old father with 2 young children. How do I know when to push strength or focus on controlling the weight? I want to build muscle, stay strong, and get stronger, but I do not want to injure myself either, so I can't lift? (53:59)
#Quah question #2 – When doing sumo deadlifts, deadlifts, RDLs am I progressing too quickly with the weight, because my legs can take it, but my SI Joint gets achy. Or is there something else at play? (59:00)
#Quah question #3 – Is there such a thing as squatting too deep? I’ve heard of “Butt Wink” but I’m not sure if that is actually something to worry about. (1:01:07)
