My Husband Has the Nutritional Habits of a Toddler | Ep. 53 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Michelle sits down with Amber to talk about what eating and training look like when the person you share a kitchen with doesn't share your goals. They get into: How Amber feeds a house where she's the only one who eats the zucchini, without cooking two dinners every night Eating her own prepped meal while she cooks theirs, so their food never tempts her Why she doesn't want her husband in better shape than her (a Bumstead joke is involved) Michelle and Matt's early days of one medium Domino's pi
If I Can't Feel It, I Don't Do It | Ep. 52 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Michelle and Emily went exercise by exercise, top to bottom, on what they actually feel working. Michelle's list is short. Delts, lats, glutes. She doesn't train quads, calves, abs or chest, and somebody complimented her triceps this week anyway. Emily has been chasing her glute med, so there's a lot here on kickbacks, step downs off a high platform with the dumbbell in the opposite hand, and 45 degree hyperextensions. She also worked out that rolling a couple of yoga mats under the pad on the g
The Uglier You Look in the Gym, the Better You Look Outside It | Ep. 51 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Michelle came off Power Hour wanting to talk about the two levers clients keep leaving alone. Steps and actual training intensity. Food is still the main driver and nobody is arguing with that.

Nobody's Soft Girl Era Started Soft | Ep. 50 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Soft girl era. Michelle and Coach Emily wanted to know whether it has made everybody scared of doing hard things. Emily's position is that ease is earned. She didn't touch investing until about three and a half years ago and had to ask her parents roughly 20,000 questions before she opened an account. Michelle's version came with an ultimatum from Matt. Pay off the debt or we're not getting married. She had $40,000 in student loans and cleared them in seven months by taking the train, packing he
Gym confessions, the things we hear | Ep. 49 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Time to open the gym confession booth: the things we see and hear at the gym every week. We listen, we don't judge... okay, maybe a little. If you've ever trained fasted because you thought you had to, bought a fat burner to speed things up, or stretched your way toward 'long, lean muscles,' this episode is about you. It's not about doing more extreme things. It's about doing the boring basics that actually change your body. Inside: the keto guy trying to build muscle on zero carbs (and what hap
