• #Quah question #1 - I’ve been doing conventional deadlifts for a while now and have noticed massive improvements. I’ve seen a lot of debate as to whether rack pulls or conventional deadlifts are better for back development. What are your thoughts on this? (59:27)
• #Quah question #2 - I want to do the advanced version of Maps 15 and I have an EZ Curl Bar at home but not a straight bar. Are there any significant differences between the two types or would I be ok using the EZ curl for the exercises? (1:03:21)
