In this episode, Jason and Lauren discuss exactly how they would recommend going about training after an illness - the answer really depends on if you're competing in either Powerlifting or Olympic Weightlifting, or if you're training for general health, fitness, and life. They also address a Tim Ferris podcast with Charles Poliquin, who states that Kettlebell swings are bad for your back. Finally, as they approach their fifth year anniversary, they discuss their hopes and dreams for the next five. We hope you enjoy the show! ...
What's up, Achievers?! Super fun episode for you all today - thanks for all of your questions!! In the first one, we discuss a question from a powerlifter mother of three who also happens to have diastasis recti. We recommend what diastasis is, what she should do to strengthen her core, while also modifying her training both physically and mentally (3:30)! We also cover proper hand care during "crossfit" type movements like kipping pull ups, toes to bars, muscle ups, etc. We discuss hand care for after the fact as well as potential preventative strategies (12:42). Lastly, we discuss our training strategies for an aspiring model! Our advice happens to go in the complete opposite direction of where we usually go with our answers (20:45) so you might find this one interesting! We hope you enjoyed this episode!

What's up, Achievers?! In this episode, we discuss moving away from a weight loss mindset and shifting to more of a building strength/building muscle mindset. Lauren opens the show up with some of her personal story and struggles with body dysmorphia and then we transition to talking about the potential "cons" of having a weight loss mindset while discussing the "pros" of adopting more of a building strength mindset. This episode is quite free-flowing with a lot of different thoughts and tangents, but we wanted to make sure we touched on a wide variety of different adjacent topics. Lastly, we finish the show with some tangible action steps [20:57] you can take if you're more of a "structure" person! We hope you enjoyed this episode! If you did, we’d love you forever if you left a rating and review on iTunes - it seriously helps us out a lot! Please DM us @achievefitnessboston on Instagram if you have any questions you’d like us to answer. Until next time, sweat out; happiness in! Jason and Lauren P.S.
