• #ListenerLive question #1 – Would I see better results sticking with this new approach, where all 3 phases repeat every 9-day cycle for 12 weeks, or is it more effective to dedicate 4 weeks to each phase across the 12-week program? (53:08)

• #ListenerLive question #2 – I’m having trouble staying asleep, and I’m looking for any advice on what I can do? (1:04:52)

• #ListenerLive question #3 – I’d like to shift my focus from weight loss to body composition: reverse dieting, building muscle, maybe even doing my first bulk. But with the GLP-1 and HRT, I’m unsure how to approach maintenance calories, whether to taper off the medication, and how to set myself up to build muscle. What would you suggest as my next step? (1:14:27)

• #ListenerLive question #4 – Are there specific exercises or strategies you recommend to improve balance and maintain an aesthetic look despite this permanent limitation due to my trap injury? (1:24:44)

• #Quah question #1 – With progressive overload, is it more than you did recently or more than you’ve ever done? Sometimes I wonder if I’m building progress when I go back to an exercise I haven’t done in a while, and I’m making progress week by week, but still lifting less weight than I did in that exercise in the past. (54:01)

• #Quah question #2 – Should your first set be the heaviest and then go lighter or vice versa? (56:28)

• #Quah question #3 – Does it matter what time you go to bed, as long as you get 8 hours? (58:52)

• #Quah question #4 – I am looking to lose fat but also want to add some muscle. What should I focus on first? I have been lifting consistently for several years and have put on some belly fat. I am consuming approximately 1600-1700 calories with 130-140 grams of protein. I’m doing Muscle Mommy, but the fat doesn’t want to leave. Any suggestions? (1:00:02)
