Stronger Than Your Boyfriend

On this week’s episode of the Stronger Than Your Boyfriend Podcast, we break down scapular stability: what it is, why it matters, and how weak scapular control can contribute to shoulder pain, poor posture, rotator cuff issues, and stalled progress in the gym. We discuss common signs of instability, the connection between the scapula and shoulder health, and practical exercises you can start incorporating into your warm-ups and programming today. Whether you’re currently dealing with shoulder issues or just want to move and lift more efficiently, this episode covers the foundations of building stronger, more stable shoulders.

Question 1: I lean forward when I squat. Is this a hip mobility issue or an ankle mobility issue?
Question 2: I just had a baby. I’m wondering what I should do and how my programming should look as I ease back into working out.
Question 3: I did a food sensitivity test. I found out I am sensitive to eggs, dairy, soy, and whey. Now I’m struggling with protein sources. Any advice?
Question 4: What are the best strategies for stress relief, in your opinion?

This week, we are re-releasing one of our most popular episodes of all time, Why Eating More Won't Make You Fat. 
Of course, calories in vs calories out matters. Mathematically, it’s the most important factor when it comes to losing weight (mass). But, it isn’t the whole story. Especially when the goal is actually fat loss, not weight loss.
Are you chronically under eating and unable to build important muscle in order to actually increase your metabolism and build?
Get out of the cycle of constant dieting and chronic cardio. 
In the episode, we talk about our experience with under eating, overexercising, stress, and fat loss. We touch on our mission to help people (especially women) fuel themselves appropriately so that they can get stronger, train smarter, and live longer, pain-free confident lives.
Grab our reverse dieting guide or our guide on Finding Your Maintenance Calories if you want to learn more about getting out of the cycle of dieting or chronic under eating.

Have you ever bought a fitness program that promised to “transform” your body and help you lose weight quickly? Body recomposition takes a different approach. Instead of focusing on losing weight, it focuses on what that weight is made up of: building muscle while reducing body fat. In today’s episode, we break down body recomposition vs. weight loss and why understanding the difference can change how you approach training and nutrition.

In this episode, we discuss:
Understanding Body Recomposition vs Weight Loss
Why Most Programs Fail
Common Mistakes in Weight Loss Programs
How to Approach Body Recomposition Correctly
Sustainable Change Over Quick Fixes
