The Better With Brock Podcast

I’m joined by Jack Hallows for a raw, honest conversation covering the stuff most men avoid. Jack opens up about his experience with an eating disorder, how he first got into the fitness industry, and the lessons that shaped how he trains and coaches today. We also get practical, breaking down his approach to training volume and gut health, plus he shares the 10 exercises he’d pick if he could only do ten for the rest of his life. | To wrap it up, Jack gives us a quote, a book, and a habit that helps him get better every day. He's hilarious, honest and open (and a great dude off the mic). Great episode.

James De Lacey is a New Zealand strength and conditioning coach, researcher, and educator who has worked with professional athletes and teams across rugby league, rugby union, MMA, and combat sports around the world.

In this episode, I sit down with world champion athlete and elite coach Hattie Boydle for a raw, insightful conversation about training, mindset, and personal growth. Hattie shares her journey from elite gymnastics to overcoming an eating disorder, and how those experiences shaped her approach to fitness and life. We dive deep into what it actually takes to build muscle — especially for women — and why most people are overtraining and under-recovering. She explains how training intensity, rest, and a long-term mindset are the real keys to transformation. We also explore the emotional side of body image, grief, and how to use adversity as fuel for growth. This is an honest, empowering conversation that goes beyond sets and reps — don’t miss it.
