#Quah question #1 – I am a “CrossFitter” who is about to become a new dad. How do I balance getting the most out of my workouts without overwhelming my soon-to-be-overly-stressed body?
#Quah question #2 – What’s a good amount of water to drink a day?
#Quah question #3 – How can I deal with delayed onset muscle soreness? I’ve quit lifting several times because I just got tired of being sore all the time. Case in point, I did the very first session of MAPS 15 last Monday (Bulgarian split squats) - could barely walk for two days and am still dreading going down the stairs six days later.
#Quah question #4 – What would an everyday full-body weightlifting routine look like?
