spk_0 Wow!
spk_0 Yeah!
spk_0 Baby, here we are.
spk_0 We're back.
spk_0 We're back.
spk_0 Never left.
spk_0 Uh, mostly science for women.
spk_0 Ashley and Rachel, we started talking and then I realized we should be recording because
spk_0 we were talking about cool things and I'm going to just list a couple right off the bat.
spk_0 If you are watching on YouTube, wait, is she gone now?
spk_0 Is Mia gone?
spk_0 No, she's still here.
spk_0 Okay, your dog was doing fully downward dog yoga moves on the bed and I was like, that's
spk_0 so on the nose.
spk_0 Yeah, she's really cute.
spk_0 Anyway, she was doing downward dog.
spk_0 Very good at it, obviously.
spk_0 Um, so I wanted to mention that and then she's a natural and then if you're watching YouTube,
spk_0 I'm wearing glasses.
spk_0 Do I look smart?
spk_0 Do I look smart or too cute?
spk_0 Do I look smart or too cute?
spk_0 And I, do you know that I wore them before?
spk_0 Yeah, I don't know.
spk_0 I feel like I've seen you in and out of glasses.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 It wasn't like a shock to me, but I look.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 I try not to because I think, uh, you know, I look cuter without them, but I was like,
spk_0 you know what, I'm going to go, I'm going to go smart mode today because I need, sometimes
spk_0 I need to pretend and convince myself that I'm smart.
spk_0 Somewhere glasses, you wouldn't know it unless you're watching on YouTube.
spk_0 But anyway.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 And then you mentioned that Nia was eating a, what was it?
spk_0 Chew in on what?
spk_0 Oh, yeah.
spk_0 If you have a dog, yeah.
spk_0 Um, and you're looking for a new type of chute toy.
spk_0 So it's called a yak bone.
spk_0 It's like dried milk.
spk_0 Um, and it's just like a hard bone that they can chew on.
spk_0 So it's not a bone from a yak.
spk_0 So it's not a bone from a yak.
spk_0 Uh, it's like, uh, I thought it was a bone from a yak and I was like, that's cool.
spk_0 No, it's like yak like milk, I think, I don't know, maybe I should have researched
spk_0 just a little bit more before I came on talk.
spk_0 Yes.
spk_0 I'm not.
spk_0 Stay tuned.
spk_0 Stay tuned.
spk_0 We're pretty well informed, but not on the yak bone from from what I've heard.
spk_0 It's better than raw hides and those types of things.
spk_0 And she, she enjoys it.
spk_0 She does this weird thing where she goes and like puts it in different corners of the
spk_0 apartment and then like goes away for 20 minutes and then goes and gets it and then puts
spk_0 another corner.
spk_0 So is that like human beings where you put something exactly where you know you won't
spk_0 lose it and then you're like, where am I keys?
spk_0 I put that right here.
spk_0 I mean, forget it.
spk_0 I don't know.
spk_0 It's funny.
spk_0 It's okay.
spk_0 Well, the reason why I thought that was cool is because I thought she was chewing on
spk_0 the bone from a yak, the animal.
spk_0 And I have had many times where I have gone to like a pet store to buy a treat for, you
spk_0 know, somebody's pet.
spk_0 And I am in the like bone raw hide section and thinking like these pets really are eating
spk_0 better than we are.
spk_0 Like there's like organic liver, like dehydrated liver and just to let, I'm like, this looks
spk_0 better than the gross real that I shop from just saying.
spk_0 And I know that makes me weird, but it is what it is.
spk_0 Anyone on it all?
spk_0 Not at all.
spk_0 Okay.
spk_0 I guess on the topic of liver, I could do like a mini internet rant before we get onto
spk_0 the questions.
spk_0 Who was it?
spk_0 And who was it on Instagram that I, anyway, it doesn't matter who it was, but there was
spk_0 a real from some popular, you know, nutrition guy who was talking about the fact that eating
spk_0 liver can cause toxicity in human beings and you don't need to eat.
spk_0 And this is like a very pro meat guy, like a basically a carnivore.
spk_0 And I just find it so surprising how many, and I know again, people post stuff on social
spk_0 media purely as clickbait, like not that it's, they think it's false, but they position
spk_0 it in a way that's clickbait.
spk_0 Like you know that whole thing of like, I started squatting and you won't believe
spk_0 the terrible thing that happened in the caption.
spk_0 It's like, I got a great big butt, like, you know, fat camera stuff.
spk_0 So I know that he was posting it this way to like probably get like a lot of attention,
spk_0 but I'm just, I'm always so shocked at this subsection of the community that like eats
spk_0 only meat so that you're already an extreme group, right?
spk_0 Because that's not normal for most people.
spk_0 And even that group of people is like, no, liver is like too far for me.
spk_0 That's a bridge too far.
spk_0 No good.
spk_0 And I just want to say for anybody who saw that or listened to it or agrees with it,
spk_0 I disagree.
spk_0 I think that's incorrect.
spk_0 I think that the studies will show for anybody out there who's like, does eat liver and is
spk_0 now worried or is like thinking about doing it.
spk_0 It is incredibly hard to get vitamin toxicity from real food.
spk_0 You need to eat so much of a certain thing to get so much vitamin A, for example, that
spk_0 you're, it's toxic to you.
spk_0 Nobody on the planet is eating that much liver.
spk_0 It doesn't taste that good.
spk_0 No one's eating five pounds of liver a day for a month to get vitamin A toxicity.
spk_0 It's just not happening.
spk_0 And it just, it boggles the mind that these people who are like very pro, like, you know,
spk_0 the way we eat is so unnatural and it's so horrible.
spk_0 And we should all just eat steaks all day.
spk_0 But they're like, eh, but no, I don't want to eat any organ meats.
spk_0 That's weird and gross.
spk_0 Like you're already killing an animal and eating most of it.
spk_0 Why not just eat all of it and be, you know, ethical and sustainable about it.
spk_0 And it's also really nutrient-tenth.
spk_0 Way more people would benefit from eating a little bit of liver than I would.
spk_0 Right.
spk_0 It's just like, I don't get back on that.
spk_0 You do.
spk_0 You do have something to write a cookbook about it.
spk_0 I'm just saying so.
spk_0 But it's so easy and it's like, and it doesn't have to be liver.
spk_0 It can be hard.
spk_0 It can be like, you know, I don't know, more bone marrow, like just little little bits and pieces
spk_0 here and there.
spk_0 It's so good for you.
spk_0 And I have a friend who is very, like, very pregnant right now and she's, she was asking
spk_0 me about, there's a segue here at Promise.
spk_0 She was asking me about how, like, it's her second child.
spk_0 And since I'm, you know, pretty still newly postpartum, she's like, I got to make sure
spk_0 that I do postpartum better this time.
spk_0 And I like take care of myself.
spk_0 I felt so depleted and I felt so bad and I wasn't taking care of myself.
spk_0 And now I can't afford to do that.
spk_0 I've got another kid to worry about.
spk_0 I have to, like, I have to take care of myself.
spk_0 So what are your thoughts?
spk_0 And I was like, you gotta eat.
spk_0 You gotta eat.
spk_0 You gotta eat enough.
spk_0 You gotta eat protein.
spk_0 And you gotta get, like, your iron, you gotta eat some red meat.
spk_0 Maybe some organ needs to be a good idea for you.
spk_0 But that initial postpartum is like, you're probably not gonna sleep.
spk_0 So, you know, do your best.
spk_0 But what's the point of telling somebody to sleep?
spk_0 Eat, just eat because you're so depleted.
spk_0 I heard there's a program out.
spk_0 Stay away, tell me.
spk_0
spk_0 I'm, yeah.
spk_0 I think it's called, it starts with an F.
spk_0 Yeah, it's a pregnancy.
spk_0 It's a pregnancy in it.
spk_0 There it is.
spk_0 Our program that you talk about nutrition.
spk_0 We talk about nutrition.
spk_0 We talk about fueling.
spk_0 We talk about the foods that are okay and not okay.
spk_0 Whatever to eat.
spk_0 Some of the myths surrounding that.
spk_0 And yeah, that's another good point is that what you're eating in pregnancy
spk_0 will also obviously very much help in postpartum.
spk_0 Because if you go into your postpartum stage very depleted,
spk_0 then you're, you know, having even a hard time.
spk_0 But anyway, so that was my rant about liver.
spk_0 Everyone should eat it.
spk_0 Everyone should eat organ needs.
spk_0 Everyone should get my book.
spk_0 Everyone should get the program.
spk_0 And so on and so forth.
spk_0 And one more quick segue.
spk_0 I know I'm like totally, I don't know.
spk_0 There's caffeine in this, okay?
spk_0 So I have to hold that thing.
spk_0 I like getting to talk.
spk_0 Another segue I just got in our inbox.
spk_0 We get some folks who take our programs send us feedback,
spk_0 which is very lovely and helpful,
spk_0 because we always want to make sure the programs are as good as they can be
spk_0 and find out what people like or maybe don't like about it.
spk_0 And we just got some feedback from someone who took the strong
spk_0 and sculpted shoulders specialization program.
spk_0 Because shoulders and glutes are the only things that matter on your body.
spk_0 And that's why we did those two.
spk_0 That's why we did those two program.
spk_0 Anyway, the only thing that matter,
spk_0 the only things that matter are delts and glutes.
spk_0 And so anyway, this person in the feedback, they said,
spk_0 I just started the shoulder program despite having bought it back in April.
spk_0 So a quick reminder, any program of hours that you buy,
spk_0 you have lifetime access to.
spk_0 So you can buy it when there's a deal or when you feel like it,
spk_0 when you have some money, and you can use it any time and forever.
spk_0 And she's saying, I love what I'm learning and experiencing so far.
spk_0 I really enjoyed learning the why behind exercises.
spk_0 And I'm definitely going to rewatch because we've got a bunch of videos in there.
spk_0 And glean more information than I may have missed on the first go around.
spk_0 So that's just a reminder that we have awesome programs.
spk_0 And it's also a reminder that what I believe makes our programs stand out
spk_0 and different is that we spend a lot of time teaching people why they're doing something.
spk_0 It's very easy.
spk_0 There's a billion fit people out there who can give you a workout
spk_0 program.
spk_0 But do they explain in very detail how, why, what, the behind the scenes,
spk_0 why you're choosing this exercise, why you're choosing this set and rep scheme and tempo,
spk_0 why you're eating the way you are supposed to be eating, why you might react
spk_0 in this way to this training and how you can adjust it.
spk_0 We want people to understand because that's going to help make this sustainable for you
spk_0 and make you successful.
spk_0 So I just want to hunt you for this out there.
spk_0 And I was actually thinking about this this morning.
spk_0 I went to, I was at the gym this morning and the last few weeks, I've, maybe more than
spk_0 few weeks.
spk_0 I've just been kind of, and we talked about this a little bit, just kind of doing what
spk_0 feels good.
spk_0 And the gym I haven't been following a specific program.
spk_0 I took a pause from working with my coach when I was like in, in flux into Chicago.
spk_0 And I've been pretty much maintaining, you know, since I finished my wedding prep in
spk_0 June.
spk_0 I can laugh about now.
spk_0 But yeah, so anyways, I was just thinking about it.
spk_0 And even this morning, I was like, wow, I've just been kind of coming into the gym and
spk_0 doing, you know, still going like for sometimes five days a week and just doing what feels
spk_0 good.
spk_0 But I know how to basically like manufacture a full week of training in my head and like
spk_0 know what I'm hitting and like, oh, I did this on Monday.
spk_0 And like, but the only reason I know that and I can do is because I have so much experience
spk_0 with knowing all of the different things.
spk_0 And it's, it's a luxury, right?
spk_0 Because we've had this question before and I've had this question before like, I just see
spk_0 some people going to gym and just like doing whatever.
spk_0 They're not really following a program and they're just, you know, lolligagging around.
spk_0 And I'm like, okay, if you're someone who is super, super beginner and you're doing
spk_0 that, you're wasting your time, right?
spk_0 If you are someone who is more advanced and you've been doing this for 10 plus years and
spk_0 you're likely a coach or like you know all the things, maybe you've taken our programs
spk_0 multiple times, things like that.
spk_0 You have so much more bandwidth to be able to like shift gears quickly.
spk_0 For example, if you're going away for a week and you have access, only access to a hotel
spk_0 gym doesn't have all the things that usually have, you will be so well versed in like what
spk_0 you can focus on because you know and you're educated on it, right?
spk_0 And it gives you a lot of power and confidence.
spk_0 And so for me, I was thinking about this morning because yes, I've gained the most, you
spk_0 know, muscle and progress when I'm following a specific program tracking my reps and weights.
spk_0 I'm still tracking my reps and weights.
spk_0 I'm just a little bit, you know, some days I'm like, just lolligagging a little bit.
spk_0 Yeah, just lolligagging.
spk_0 But you have so much power in just knowing what you're doing and why you're doing it.
spk_0 And so that is why we're so passionate about digging into all those things within the
spk_0 programs, like within the glute program.
spk_0 We literally go through every single exercise that you could do and why you're doing them
spk_0 for different parts of your glutes and the structures and the squee jures and all of that
spk_0 stuff. And for some people, it's like, I don't really like they might not think that it's
spk_0 important or they're like, just tell me what to do.
spk_0 Yeah, we're still going to tell you what to do.
spk_0 But I promise you, it's just investing in your ability to do it on your own eventually,
spk_0 do it on your own eventually and also just just have that capacity to, I'm traveling this
spk_0 week. I'm not going to have access to the same equipment.
spk_0 What can I do?
spk_0 And having a coach is great, of course, but like eventually sometimes you're not going
spk_0 to and you just, you have that comp, really, it's the confidence and the power because
spk_0 you know why you're doing what you're doing.
spk_0 You're not just doing it.
spk_0 So that's my rant for the day.
spk_0
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 Being adapted like that's what you've really had to do the last few months is like instead
spk_0 of letting, like a lot of people being in the situation you were in would be like, well,
spk_0 if this part of my life right now, I'm just going to not worry about it.
spk_0 And of course that makes you feel worse because then you're not getting all those beautiful
spk_0 endorphins from working out and you're not feeling as confident in all of these things.
spk_0 But you have the adaptability from all of these years of like programming and exercise
spk_0 selection and coaching and like experimenting on yourself to know.
spk_0 And I mean, that's again, on a, on a different scale.
spk_0 That was what I was doing during pregnancy a little bit too until we created the program
spk_0 and made it a little bit more formalized.
spk_0 So I was just like, I got to work around things and I don't have the capacity to do like a
spk_0 formalized training program.
spk_0 So I'm going to, you know, piece things together.
spk_0 But there's, there's just a bit more of like rhyme and reason when you understand how
spk_0 your body works.
spk_0 On another note, I'm adding to our merch list.
spk_0 Uh, we're going to have to make a sticker or something.
spk_0 It says no, allie gagging because I just love that you need to make sure.
spk_0 Okay.
spk_0 You need to have peopleist so that I can that we can work on because I have had people,
spk_0 like I've had a number of people be like, get some merch.
spk_0 I will wear it.
spk_0 I think stickers are a must and then of course, some kind of cool like muscle, muscle shirt
spk_0 or something.
spk_0 But I just love that you like over the course of this podcast because you are a little bit
spk_0 younger than me.
spk_0 We're both millennials.
spk_0 So let's not, you know, I'm not like old lady, young lady situation, but I have a little
spk_0 bit of different pop culture references than you do and sometimes I will mention something
spk_0 and you'll be like, I don't know what that is and I'm like, get out of here.
spk_0 And yet you somehow know the like oldest terms.
spk_0 I'm pretty sure lolly gagging came from like our great grandfather, I love it.
spk_0 I love it.
spk_0 It's adorable.
spk_0 Anyway.
spk_0 Okay.
spk_0 Let's answer some questions, tell me.
spk_0 We shall.
spk_0 Okay.
spk_0 Can we do this first one?
spk_0 Do you want to read this one from Linda?
spk_0 Yeah, with Linda.
spk_0 Yes.
spk_0 Okay.
spk_0 Linda said, hello.
spk_0 I've been to show and love it all.
spk_0 Can't wait for the merch.
spk_0 Oh, there you go.
spk_0 My question is this, we have a 13 year old daughter who has joined her school's powerlifting
spk_0 team last year.
spk_0 Wow, I am jealous.
spk_0 So badass.
spk_0 She has a powerlifting team.
spk_0 And absolutely loves it.
spk_0 My husband and I are avid weightlifters.
spk_0 So let me be clear in the fact that I have zero problems with her working out and lifting
spk_0 weights.
spk_0 My concern is, is this good for her growing body?
spk_0 When we go to these competitions and see the weight that these girls are lifting, I wonder
spk_0 what effect it has on her bone structure as she develops.
spk_0 My second concern is that since she is predisposed to having a thicker frame, build from both
spk_0 sides of the family, will lifting to lift heavy, insure that she is built thicker.
spk_0 While I'm 100% okay with her being solid and strong.
spk_0 Love that word.
spk_0 I worry that she will have that stereotypical chubby look that you see a lot of powerlifters
spk_0 get.
spk_0 I do understand that this helps them be more successful in this sport.
spk_0 I just don't want her to have to live with whatever ridicule may come her way from the
spk_0 cruel world that doesn't know.
spk_0 Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated.
spk_0 This is pretty cool.
spk_0 So there's a lot going on here.
spk_0 I mean, you can back me up on this part.
spk_0 But in terms of the first question, which is what kind of effect could this heavy lifting
spk_0 have on a growing teen, there is no good research that it negatively impacts a growing body.
spk_0 Lifting heavy weights, in fact, there is research and you can look this up.
spk_0 Maybe we can put some stuff in the show notes that shows that an intelligence strengthening
spk_0 program for teenagers is beneficial because growing muscle is always beneficial.
spk_0 It also strengthens things like tendons and ligaments and things like that so that it
spk_0 can help minimize injury.
spk_0 The same is with an adult, right?
spk_0 It's always going to be good.
spk_0 Bone health, just long-term habits, all these things.
spk_0 It's good across the board.
spk_0 The problem is, again, the same as with an adult where in proper form, overtraining,
spk_0 weight that you are not able to lift and lifting it incorrectly, these things can cause problems.
spk_0 So as with anybody, the advice is sort of the same is that you have to have, I don't
spk_0 know, experienced coaches, you have to have intelligent, safe, healthy programming and
spk_0 she has to rest and recover properly and fuel herself properly.
spk_0 So the kind of like too long short version of this is that lifting weights is not bad
spk_0 for a young person.
spk_0 You just have to do it properly and safely.
spk_0 Would you agree with that?
spk_0 100%.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 And I think the biggest piece of that too is the fueling part of it because I think that
spk_0 that can be a big piece, especially with younger, like 12, 13-year-old, just making sure
spk_0 that they are eating enough, especially for the recovery side of it because if not,
spk_0 then that's going to lead to injury and frustration and kind of going down that whole rabbit hole
spk_0 and especially like within the growth part of it too.
spk_0 Again, all the things we talk about, protein, getting a car, supporting hormones as well
spk_0 from a healthy fat's perspective, also good carbs to support training, just all the things.
spk_0 That's like the first thing that comes to my mind as I'm thinking back to when I was
spk_0 that age and I was not well versed on the nutrition side of things and doing all the sports
spk_0 and all the things and what we're doing it under fueling.
spk_0
spk_0 Again, the advice is very similar, I would say, and you need to maybe be a little bit more careful
spk_0 because she's not in that alt.
spk_0 She may not have as much knowledge or ability to make these decisions for herself.
spk_0 It's really important, maybe, as parents, that you're paying attention and encouraging the right things.
spk_0 Then in terms of the second question, the being solid, strong, thicker, whatever, the power
spk_0 lifters get, I think that there's a lot, there's maybe some parenting or unlearning stuff
spk_0 that could happen here that has nothing to do with the sport, which is that, and I think
spk_0 we've talked about this before, this also works for adults.
spk_0 If we can feel as human beings, if we can feel confident and like we have worth and like
spk_0 we're loved for other reasons, the looks part is less important.
spk_0 Yes, we're always going to care other people think of us and unfortunately being a woman
spk_0 in this world, we're going to be exposed to shitty messaging and maybe comments that we
spk_0 don't like and that's a reality of being in the world.
spk_0 I'm thinking now that I have a daughter, this is something I'm going to have to think about
spk_0 extra.
spk_0 But when she feels loved by you guys and she feels validated that she's strong and has
spk_0 these skills and maybe she's kind and maybe she's a good friend and make like all these
spk_0 other things, that stuff will chip away at her left.
spk_0 Yes, then it would if she's taught by whoever growing up that looks are really, really important
spk_0 and the most important thing.
spk_0 I would say that maybe one other cool thing to do in addition to de-emphasizing looks is
spk_0 to show her some examples of like some Olympic powerlifting women that are like badass and
spk_0 what they look like and show her like what's her name, Alona, what's her last name?
spk_0 The rugby player that's like super famous for being basically, she's on sports illustrated
spk_0 because she's like, she is a solid woman, we'll say that.
spk_0 Wait, and she's from San Diego, right?
spk_0 I think so.
spk_0 Is that the one that I've seen?
spk_0 Yeah, let me see if I can get her last name in it.
spk_0 I mean people know who I'm talking about because she's very, you saw her in real life.
spk_0 If this is the same, hold on, Alona, I'm thinking.
spk_0 Mara M-A-H-E-R, I don't know if I'm pronouncing her last name right, but she's got like five million
spk_0 followers on Instagram, she's an Olympic medalist, she wears red lipstick, she's jacked,
spk_0 she can definitely beat you up like she's amazing, but she is an example of somebody who probably
spk_0 has been told a million times, you know, you're too big, like you're manly, whatever, and
spk_0 she has turned it around into this really empowering.
spk_0 This is what my body looks like.
spk_0 This is what I'm capable of.
spk_0 I don't care if you like it or not, because that's what I saw.
spk_0 You saw her.
spk_0 So cool.
spk_0 A few times, she lived in the neighborhood next to mine in San Diego, and I guess are twice
spk_0 at the same coffee, it's like a coffee pie shop.
spk_0 I'll pop.
spk_0 So amazing.
spk_0 So amazing.
spk_0 Yeah, so show her positive examples of, there's all these reels and stuff on Instagram
spk_0 of like this is what female Olympians look like, and they all look different.
spk_0 And yeah, maybe she is going to, if she continues with powerlifting, she might have some
spk_0 sports specific body type things going on.
spk_0 Basketball players look different than, you know, soccer players look different than
spk_0 powerlifters generally, because certain body types are, you know, more predisposed to
spk_0 being good at certain sports, and that's fine.
spk_0 But highlighting it is this positive thing.
spk_0 And maybe if you get the merch, we get like the, yeah, whatever it is, trained to be solid
spk_0 or whatever cool shirt that we are coming up with, I think that those are sort of the
spk_0 two aspects of like, don't, don't sort of pretend that this isn't a part of culture,
spk_0 that what we look like, people are going to respond to how, what she looks like, she's
spk_0 going to have to contend with that being out in the world.
spk_0 But look at all these successful, amazing women who don't fit the stereotypical skinny,
spk_0 whatever ideal that is set out, and they're thriving and they're confident and they are
spk_0 successful.
spk_0 And then also talking about how looks aren't everything because they aren't.
spk_0 They truly are not.
spk_0 I mean, people who are stereotypically like, you know, gorgeous and people think they're
spk_0 perfect, they have problems too.
spk_0 Everybody's got problems.
spk_0 So, you know, we just have to pick what they are and try to care less about what the
spk_0 outside world is trying to get us to be and do what we love, and that's it.
spk_0 I love that.
spk_0 I, 100% agree.
spk_0 I think one thing that just came to mind from like a little bit of a different perspective
spk_0 is how amazing and lucky is not lucky, but just amazing is that she gets to start building
spk_0 muscle at 13 years old.
spk_0 So good.
spk_0 And I think looking at from a little bit of a different perspective, you, but building
spk_0 muscle is hard, right?
spk_0 It's hard, especially, you know, at that age when, you know, having, being educated
spk_0 and all the things, right?
spk_0 You're still learning so much.
spk_0 If someone put me back at 13 years old and was like, do all these things, oh my god, I
spk_0 wish you did it.
spk_0 But I think the biggest thing is thinking about too, like building muscle is the hard part.
spk_0 If she gets to a point where she's like, I don't like all this muscle I have.
spk_0 I don't like the shape of my body.
spk_0 She can change that a lot easier than the opposite, right?
spk_0 So if she gets to a point where she's like, I feel like my traps are a little bit too
spk_0 big or I just don't like that look and maybe she's, you know, a way, like getting away
spk_0 from powerlifting and maybe she gets into a little bit more bodybuilding or something like
spk_0 that.
spk_0 Like you can shape your body, but coming from the standpoint of already having muscle versus
spk_0 the opposite is a huge, huge advantage.
spk_0 So I think that is also just another kind of way to look at it too.
spk_0 It's like to me, you're putting yourself or she's putting yourself in the best possible
spk_0 situation from that standpoint because you can absolutely shape the parts of your body
spk_0 you want, especially if you're starting off with a great base of muscle versus the other
spk_0 side where most people, most women are at or most girls.
spk_0 So that's just kind of what came to my head.
spk_0 Yeah, I love that.
spk_0 I saw another real on Instagram that again, it's so crazy how things have like progressed
spk_0 since I started on Instagram, which is probably looking decade ago and how different things
spk_0 are.
spk_0 But there was, it was a real of this girl who was 16 years old and she was squatting.
spk_0 She's like, I'm just going to squat like different football players like their weight.
spk_0 This girl was 16 years old and she was squatting like 300 plus pounds the way I squat my body
spk_0 weight.
spk_0 Like it was just wild.
spk_0 I'm like, look how strong this young, like not even technically a woman is.
spk_0 Yeah, like it's incredible.
spk_0 So yeah, to your point, like the earlier you can start teaching people and not everybody
spk_0 has to be a power lifter.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 But the earlier you can teach people how to, or your kids and young people, how to enjoy
spk_0 movement and physical exercise and like expression and how good it is to be strong.
spk_0 However that ends up looking for them.
spk_0 It's such an advantage.
spk_0 So yeah, amazing.
spk_0 Okay.
spk_0 I will ask a question here.
spk_0 This one has been there for a while.
spk_0 I think we may have forgotten about it.
spk_0 So sorry, Annie.
spk_0 But Annie has got a question in the inbox here.
spk_0 She says, hi girls.
spk_0 First off, I love your show and your consistent knowledge bombs on all things nutrition and fitness.
spk_0 Thank you.
spk_0 A little bit about me.
spk_0 She's 44 back and forth over the last two years working on fatwas and at times trying
spk_0 to gain muscle.
spk_0 I mean, welcome to the club, right?
spk_0 I really haven't ventured too far into bulking because my back problems.
spk_0 Question is, is it realistic for me to increase calories and lift heavy, especially my upper
spk_0 body when my spine and back can get so out of whack?
spk_0 I feel like there's time to not making good progress and then my back will leave me out
spk_0 of training for a week and then it makes me hesitant to push harder.
spk_0 I started going to a chiropractor which helps and I'm looking into muscle activation therapy.
spk_0 Because my cervical spine had a hard time overhead resistance move, so I'm wondering,
spk_0 do I even have a chance at building pretty shoulders, etc.
spk_0 At this stage of the game, I'm just wondering what my realistic goals are.
spk_0 I'd love to bulk a little after my current cut phase, but it makes me a little wary with
spk_0 my back problems.
spk_0 Thanks for any input you have.
spk_0 Okay.
spk_0 I love this question because I feel like I was there for a while just on and off with
spk_0 the back stuff and it's frustrating because you get, I remember like being in a groove
spk_0 for a few weeks and finally feeling like I was making progress.
spk_0 This is probably a few years ago and then I did a heavy RDL and it's just, I was out for
spk_0 like a week from doing lower body.
spk_0 It was kind of like a cycle of that.
spk_0 I think the biggest thing that I learned from that is really, first of all figuring out
spk_0 exactly what's going on and paying attention to the things that flared up.
spk_0 With the overhead presses and the question about, can I build nice shoulders if I can't
spk_0 do heavy overhead presses?
spk_0 I think the answer is yes, you still can.
spk_0 Yes, the overhead press or the shoulder press is a great, more compound movement to help
spk_0 build your delts.
spk_0 In our shoulder program, there are so many other movements.
spk_0 You've been taking the shoulder press.
spk_0 She needs to let us know because what are you doing?
spk_0 Come on.
spk_0 We made this for you.
spk_0 Okay.
spk_0 Yes, 100%.
spk_0 There are so many other options.
spk_0 It's just like we talk about all the time, you don't have to squat, barbell squat to build
spk_0 your legs.
spk_0 If anything, there are so many other better options and I know this firsthand, learning over
spk_0 the years and wasting time there.
spk_0 I feel like there's always, and that's with the beauty of lifting weights and just weight
spk_0 lifting in general.
spk_0 There's so many different options and there's so many workarounds of different things.
spk_0 I think with the biggest thing that I noticed for myself, especially with my back injury
spk_0 stuff and everybody's different, of course, is the unilateral, pushing more unilateral,
spk_0 especially single leg stuff and really focusing on that because the imbalances that I had
spk_0 from side to side, both in my lower body and also in my back, even my upper back, when
spk_0 I started doing more single arm lap pull downs and single arm rows and then, of course,
spk_0 all the split squat variations and all that stuff, I started to really figure out the imbalances
spk_0 side to side and then I could really focus on bringing up my weaker sides and that helped
spk_0 with more of the symmetry.
spk_0 I think that's something and we talk about that as well in our programs, incorporating
spk_0 more unilateral stuff.
spk_0 Other thing is just giving yourself grace in the times and things to flare up and you
spk_0 don't really have control of it and really trying to focus in on some of the other stuff.
spk_0 So I remember when my back would flare up and I couldn't do heavy arduals or really any
spk_0 leg press or anything like that, I'm okay, what can I do?
spk_0 What can I still do that is going to continue to move me forward a little bit even if it's
spk_0 slower and focusing on that rather than beading myself up for another flare up that maybe
spk_0 I could have controlled if I was a little bit smarter in the decisions I made, but you
spk_0 learn from what you do, you learn what causes your flare ups, you learn how to manage them,
spk_0 the recovery piece of it as well, that's a huge piece of it.
spk_0 So yeah, that's my take.
spk_0 And I think that's good.
spk_0 I think just to kind of add on, continue on some of the things that you're saying, I think
spk_0 I have it knock on wood, had a back injury, but I have plenty of other things to complain
spk_0 about body wise.
spk_0 So I know that a back issue specifically can be very intimidating because it's part
spk_0 of every type of movement, right?
spk_0 So I can get how back injury specifically can be like, oh, am I able to even still come
spk_0 in here and do this and make progress?
spk_0 I understand that part, but from a practical perspective, the fact that you are trying
spk_0 to build specifically upper body and shoulders is relatively speaking going to be easier than
spk_0 maybe lower body or something like that because again, they're smaller muscles, they don't
spk_0 require crazy big, heavy compound movements to grow, right?
spk_0 And like you said, and especially in our program, there's a billion exercises you can do
spk_0 to build up some delts to get some, you know, whatever, you don't have to do a ton of
spk_0 sort of higher risk, heavy lifts to do that.
spk_0 You don't have to do overhead shoulder press.
spk_0 There's a lot of stuff you can do that you can sit down and you can take the, you can
spk_0 use machines, you can take a lot of the work away from your core and from your back if
spk_0 you need to.
spk_0 So, from that perspective, just a logical kind of response is yes, you can definitely still
spk_0 build some shoulders even if you're kind of working around a back issue.
spk_0 So, I think that's kind of important to point out.
spk_0 Obviously, you use our programs, you know, a no-brainer.
spk_0 Obviously.
spk_0 And then, but you know, one thing that's strong and sculpted shoulders is what it's called.
spk_0 There it is.
spk_0 Grow your glutes.
spk_0 We're all of the stuff in the show now.
spk_0 Go just by it.
spk_0 You know, just by it.
spk_0 Just, you know, the added and the next one.
spk_0 It's certainly not really.
spk_0 I'm just saying, Lee inexpensive.
spk_0 I really, it is.
spk_0 It is.
spk_0 And, you know, being 44 makes a difference too because I am also now a proud question mark,
spk_0 a member of the 40s club and I am.
spk_0 Yeah, you're proud.
spk_0 I guess whatever.
spk_0 I don't know.
spk_0 I'm still here.
spk_0 It's fine.
spk_0 I look like I'm 23 now.
spk_0 Okay.
spk_0 All right.
spk_0 Now you're lying.
spk_0 If you would said like 39.
spk_0 If you would said like 36, I'd be like, thank you, but you're just blown smoke now.
spk_0 Anyway, it is, it is harder like it is harder as you get older.
spk_0 But the fact that you've been doing this kind of, you know, consistently, you've been doing
spk_0 some walking, you've been doing some cutting, you've been doing this cycling, you've been
spk_0 paying attention to this stuff.
spk_0 You can still in your 40s build muscle.
spk_0 We know people.
spk_0 We've seen people in their 70s build muscle.
spk_0 You can always get a jacked.
spk_0 So, that part also isn't a problem.
spk_0 It just continues to be, you have to pay more attention to things.
spk_0 You have to work a little differently, maybe smarter, rather than harder, whatever.
spk_0 And the only last thing I'll say, because I'm going to get rambling now, is that one of
spk_0 the downsides, I think, to an injury like this, and especially an injury like this in
spk_0 your 40s, is that we do sometimes have to switch our perspective to treating like a,
spk_0 maybe a chronic injury like this to prioritize it more and treat it like it's an ongoing project
spk_0 that you have to fix instead of this nagging thing you need to just kind of work around
spk_0 and sort of forget otherwise.
spk_0 You know, this is something that you and I have talked about.
spk_0 I talk about with my husband who has, he's also a very fitness focused person who has
spk_0 a number of chronic injuries stemming from his work that he's had to really switch his
spk_0 brain from being like, I want to do all the things I want to do and I'm kind of pissed
spk_0 that I can't and I'm just going to go to physio every once in a while to like, this is
spk_0 almost like my main priority is this management of these injuries and then I can build on top
spk_0 of that to these other goals, whether it's, you know, running a 10k or building your, your
spk_0 delts or whatever it is.
spk_0 So it sucks.
spk_0 It's another one of those like getting older, the sucks kind of thing, but the faster you
spk_0 can kind of re, you know, just switch up the thinking to like, oh, this is just a shitty
spk_0 injury that like is going to nag me forever to like, this is another project.
spk_0 In addition to building my delts, I need to go fix this problem or manage this problem
spk_0 or improve this problem and it's a priority every time I go into the gym to do that.
spk_0 That will also help.
spk_0 Just shift the thinking a little bit because I'm probably all there.
spk_0 Like most of us aren't going to make it sadly into our forties without some kind of like
spk_0 ongoing nagging thing that we have to deal with.
spk_0 And instead of just like pushing it under the rug and waiting until it gets bad, really
spk_0 actively working on it, I think it's just, and it seems like that's what you're doing,
spk_0 but it's just something to kind of highlight too.
spk_0 Anyway, perspective is everything.
spk_0 Yep.
spk_0 Yep.
spk_0 If that's anything I've learned in the last few months, it's like, where your mind goes,
spk_0 controls everything.
spk_0 You can be in a shitty situation.
spk_0 And if you breathe for a second and be like, okay, what good can come out of this?
spk_0 Or what can I shift gears to?
spk_0 It's just crazy.
spk_0 And I've like actively been doing that the last, especially the last few weeks because I'm
spk_0 really trying to like get into mind first like, what is, where is my mind going?
spk_0 Because it's going in so many different directions.
spk_0 And like if something happens that I just, it's not what I wanted to happen.
spk_0 I'm like, pause.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 Don't, don't go down that rabbit hole.
spk_0 What can I control?
spk_0 Right?
spk_0 That is, and it's helped so much.
spk_0 And it just then catapults into all these other positive things.
spk_0 And you don't even remember the bad thing.
spk_0 Anyway.
spk_0 Now I'm just family about the mind, but no, it's so true.
spk_0 What's true?
spk_0 What can I do in this moment?
spk_0 Like what is happening in this moment?
spk_0 Like we definitely, I think maybe you and I probably both are in the category of, I don't
spk_0 know, maybe I'm wrong, but like overthinkers we like to think a lot about stuff.
spk_0 And that's fine.
spk_0 That's good.
spk_0 There's advantages to that.
spk_0 It can also not be good sometimes.
spk_0 When you like, pre-worry about things, for example, or, you know, versus the scenario.
spk_0 Exactly.
spk_0 Because that, what ifs all those things?
spk_0 Take things down rabbit holes that don't need to be down there yet, you know?
spk_0 And I think what you're saying, like getting into your, your body in the moment and thinking
spk_0 about like, what can I do now?
spk_0 How can I react to how I'm feeling right now?
spk_0 And I'm with you in a different way.
spk_0 Because again, I have, I, I am in like the most overstimulating stage of my life because
spk_0 I have this baby who's like just a wild animal.
spk_0 And I say that with love.
spk_0 I love you so much, baby, but oh my God.
spk_0 She's the loudest, most active baby I've ever, I've ever come across.
spk_0 She's going, I'm putting her in like MMA training in like when she turns a year old, like
spk_0 she's just like tomorrow.
spk_0 Like tomorrow.
spk_0 But, you know, with that and then having another kid and then like trying to live my own
spk_0 life, I just said like in this constant state of overstimulation and it can, it can really
spk_0 change your mindset and how you react to things.
spk_0 And so I'm kind of with you.
spk_0 And I'm really relating to what you're saying in terms of like it really is everything
spk_0 about life is sort of how you respond to it, right?
spk_0 And so I'm really trying to do a better job too of like in the moment, what can I do to
spk_0 be calmer, to like be maybe more compassionate, to be to myself and tell everybody around
spk_0 me, how can I like think before I react?
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 And that's a good one.
spk_0 And even just like taking the more you do it because I am, I was
spk_0 very much like, I don't know, just very much reactive to things.
spk_0 Even just like, I'm thinking to myself about a text I got yesterday and how if I was having
spk_0 this text conversation back and forth, I would have kind of responded right away and just
spk_0 like let my like whatever thoughts came right at that moment just kind of go.
spk_0 And that's what I've done in the past.
spk_0 But instead I have been practicing like taking a pause and be like, we don't need to respond
spk_0 right away.
spk_0 Let me think about this for a second.
spk_0 Let me let it marinate and then kind of come back with a clear, the clear head.
spk_0 It's just like, you know, anything that you're doing whether if you're like in an argument
spk_0 or you know, it's never been negative, but just like taking a pause and the more you practice,
spk_0 just taking that pause, even setting the time, like I did this yesterday, I set a timer
spk_0 on my phone for five minutes and just let myself go do other things.
spk_0 And then I came back and I was like, oh, yeah, I'm really glad that I did not respond
spk_0 in that initial response.
spk_0 I'm glad I waited because now I was able to kind of let the initial kick come and then
spk_0 let it settle and think through actually how I wanted to respond or what I was actually
spk_0 thinking versus the kind of, you know, flight or fight first thing.
spk_0 So yeah, and in practicing it, honestly, and I can say this because I've been practicing
spk_0 for the past few weeks, it gets easier and easier because the more you do it, you're like,
spk_0 you remember, like your brain goes to that.
spk_0 Okay, pause.
spk_0 So listeners, are you impressed with how bias we sound right now?
spk_0 We're like, we just know so much of the mind.
spk_0 No, I think, I mean, I think it comes from again, just getting older and having like life
spk_0 experience, you got to adapt and figure out how to get through things because life doesn't
spk_0 get easier.
spk_0 It doesn't get easier, generally, at least that's not what I have found.
spk_0 I could have an entire, we could have an entire podcast and it's coming for you, my
spk_0 friend, in your 30s.
spk_0 We could have an entire podcast about the decade of your 40s.
spk_0 I want people to like respond and email and tell me if they think I'm off base or not.
spk_0 But I feel like that is a lost decade that people do not talk about enough.
spk_0 And now with the rise in people talking about things like Perry, Ninepaz and
spk_0 hormonal health, it's starting to come in.
spk_0 But I feel like growing up, no one talked about what your 40s was going to be like.
spk_0 Like everyone knows your 20s, you're like, maybe go to school and you're having fun
spk_0 and you're doing what you want.
spk_0 Great.
spk_0 Did that fun?
spk_0 Then people talk about, okay, your 30s, maybe you're getting a little bit more established,
spk_0 maybe you're making some money, maybe you're having a family or not, but you're like,
spk_0 you're still having a good time.
spk_0 You're still like young, good to go.
spk_0 Cool.
spk_0 And then people talk about in your 50s, you're like maybe on the other side of
spk_0 Metapos and you start to give less fs about what other people think.
spk_0 You start to come into your own.
spk_0 All that stuff.
spk_0 Great.
spk_0 50s.
spk_0 Cool.
spk_0 What's going on in the 40s?
spk_0 Do you just, are you just, what are we doing here?
spk_0 What are we doing?
spk_0 And all of my friends in our 40s were like, yeah, that is happening.
spk_0 Like it's not good.
spk_0 We're all struggling in different ways because maybe we've got, I don't know,
spk_0 you've got the hormonal thing and I don't know, maybe this is one of the midlife
spk_0 crisis hits, I guess.
spk_0 And maybe some people who are older are listening to this and they're like, duh,
spk_0 it's called a midlife crisis.
spk_0 And I'm just like, oh shoot, here we are.
spk_0 It's a wild time in your 40s.
spk_0 Let me tell you, I'm not saying it's all bad.
spk_0 There's lots that are happening.
spk_0 That's great.
spk_0 But like it's also crazy times.
spk_0 And all of my friends, whenever we get together, we're all just like, what are we
spk_0 have? We have so many grievances to air and I just didn't see it coming.
spk_0 I just didn't see it coming.
spk_0 So I would love to, I would love for you to kind of start to put together
spk_0 all the things that you're noticing.
spk_0 So I'll have a list for you.
spk_0 We can learn.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 I'll learn from that.
spk_0 Watch out for the following.
spk_0 Don't maybe have a baby in your 40s.
spk_0 No, I don't want to say that.
spk_0 Oh, we're track that.
spk_0 I'll we're track that.
spk_0 We're tracked it.
spk_0 It's not a mistake, but it is a wild time.
spk_0 I will say you got to have some energy that I did not.
spk_0 Plan for.
spk_0 Okay.
spk_0 Well, doing it and you're crushing it.
spk_0 Thanks.
spk_0 I'm trying my best.
spk_0 Do we have time for one more?
spk_0 What do you think?
spk_0 We don't have to.
spk_0 Maybe we save it for great.
spk_0 Our next one.
spk_0 Let's do one other thing.
spk_0 Because I feel like we've played with this a little bit when we end off, like having
spk_0 like a, I don't know, we talk about a positive thing or we mentioned something.
spk_0 And I feel like we've also talked about like exercises we've liked or workouts.
spk_0 We've liked or things like maybe fitness related positivity.
spk_0 Because I have something that I want to get your thoughts on that I don't think we've talked
spk_0 about and exercise that I've been doing lately that I like.
spk_0 It's also again, just from the trainer that I was working with.
spk_0 You know, that's one thing that's one of the benefits of a coach is they sometimes
spk_0 just throw things at you that you haven't done before.
spk_0 Maybe you're, you know about it and you just haven't done it, right?
spk_0 Guerrilla Rose.
spk_0 Thoughts.
spk_0 Is that the one where it's like, so you're sort of like, okay, okay, okay, wait.
spk_0 If anybody not watching, just going on Spotify.
spk_0 Oh, man, this video has to go on Spotify because she's going on Spotify.
spk_0 Rachel's just on this the one where you and then she just like makes a weird, very vague
spk_0 our motion.
spk_0 Well, it's like, it's like, yeah, no, no, no, okay.
spk_0 So Guerrilla Rose is basically so it's dumbbells and you're kind of bent over.
spk_0 You've got your legs apart and you're bent over at the waist and you're rowing in between
spk_0 your arm, like one at a time.
spk_0 Do you know?
spk_0 Does that?
spk_0 Yeah, like, Guerrilla.
spk_0 It's like, yeah, exactly right.
spk_0 I was doing both arms, but yeah, it's one of them.
spk_0 Okay, yeah.
spk_0 So I've seen that before.
spk_0 Haven't, I don't think I've ever done it.
spk_0 I really like it.
spk_0 And I think some of it just comes down to like, I don't know what kind of setup you enjoy.
spk_0 Like, I don't know, but I, I was like, I don't know.
spk_0 This doesn't seem like that different from like other Rose that I do.
spk_0 Like, what's the big deal?
spk_0 I don't know what are.
spk_0 And I try them.
spk_0 I'm like, I for some reason, there's something about it I really like.
spk_0 And I also feel like maybe it has something to do with the setup or the stability of the
spk_0 other arm, but I can go really heavy with them.
spk_0 I don't know.
spk_0 Have you recorded yourself?
spk_0 Because I really want to see you doing these.
spk_0 Do you make a face when you do them?
spk_0 I'm sure I do.
spk_0 I need to make sure the time.
spk_0 A Guerrilla face.
spk_0 I'm always making that kind of face.
spk_0 So probably, okay, I'll try it.
spk_0 Well, if you're listening and you want to see Ashley doing Guerrilla Rose,
spk_0 comment on this spot at us.
spk_0 Podcast.
spk_0 Let us know.
spk_0 Comment now.
spk_0 And also you try them and tell me if you like them because I just, like, I just thought it was just
spk_0 going to be another, you know, it's just another whatever variation on a row.
spk_0 I've done a billion rows, whatever.
spk_0 And I just, I just enjoy them.
spk_0 It's just one, it's just an exercise that I like to do that I have recently added to my
spk_0 repertoire that I find fun.
spk_0 So wait, I have one that I've been doing in the last few weeks.
spk_0 It is a split squad, of course, but it's a different variation that I've done.
spk_0
spk_0 So putting my front foot on a little bit of an elevated platform, I think I posted this in
spk_0 my story last week.
spk_0 It's under my Chicago, like in my highlights on Instagram, it's under my Chicago lifting
spk_0 highlight.
spk_0 And so you elevate your front foot just a little bit.
spk_0 That may be like five ish inches off the floor.
spk_0 I'm really about it.
spk_0 That stuff.
spk_0 So that could be totally wrong.
spk_0 But a little bit off the floor, get in a kind of train tracks position, not a tight rope.
spk_0 That's, you know, where you're hip width, shoulder width apart versus being tight rope.
spk_0 Yep.
spk_0 And you take a kettlebell or dumbbell and it's a contralateral front foot elevated split squat.
spk_0 So holding, like do a little kettlebell snatch up to the side, a clean, yeah,
spk_0 forgot the words of those things.
spk_0 Snatch clean, whatever.
spk_0 It's been 10 years.
spk_0 We get it.
spk_0 Did any of that?
spk_0 Anyways, and it's a contralateral.
spk_0 So basically you're, you're using your core a lot to stabilize while you're going into that
spk_0 squat and because the front foot is elevated and these over toes, you're going to a lot of quad.
spk_0 And a lot of just, you have to, your core just lit.
spk_0 It's lit up.
spk_0 And for me, I've been trying to incorporate a lot more of those types of things where
spk_0 especially for football where I'm just like using different muscles and different ways
spk_0 and really activating my core because that helps to keep my back strong.
spk_0 With all the sprinting and all that.
spk_0 So cool.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 All right.
spk_0 Front foot like this.
spk_0 Frontralateral kettlebell hold front foot elevated split squat.
spk_0 Yeah.
