#Quah question #1 - Is there any point trying to build muscle after 40? Or at this point should I be focusing more on maintenance, being leaner, and longevity? (1:01:00)
#Quah question #2 - What is the difference between seated vs standing calf raises? I don't have a seated machine in my gym. Are we splitting hairs, or is it a big difference? (1:08:03)
#Quah question #3 - I've been seeing a lot of growing popularity with Zercher squats & deadlifts. Is there a benefit to those over traditional squats or deadlifts? (1:12:10)
