    Nov 14 2025
    In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer four Pump Head questions drawn from last Sunday's Quah post on the @mindpumpmedia Instagram page.

(58:41) #Quah question #2 – How can I get stronger with squats? I'm squatting every week, but I just don't seem to make any progress. Although the reps are heavy and exhausting, I don't really feel my legs. Also, my mind prevents me from lifting heavier weights for fear that I can't get up from the squat. Any suggestions?
