What's up, Achievers?! In this episode, the first question we go over involves our thoughts on using weight belts during strength training and heavier lifts (1:26). We then cover how to go about incorporating accessory movements like hip thrusts, rows, KB presses, side planks, etc. after performing the main lifts like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. We dive deep into the order as well as "non-competing" supersets (5:36). Lastly, we go over how to go about addressing hips shooting up early during a deadlift (9:34). 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, Peace, Love, and Muscles! Jason and Lauren ...
What's up, Achievers?! So a couple of things about this episode - first it's actually episode 156 not 155, aaaand Lauren's audio cuts out a bit for the last 2 minutes. Sorry in advance! However, the rest turned out gravy and the topic is so, so important for long term fitness success. EVERYONE has their ego wrapped up in their workouts in some capacity. Lauren and I have been trying to get out of this mindset and sometimes we can't help it either. And when our ego takes a hit, we find that we get frustrated really easily, we irrationally do things like push through pain and not listen to our bodies, and ultimately resent the process instead of enjoying it. Only by taking ego out of the equation, can one truly enjoy the process again, adopt a beginner/explorer's mindset, and get better at their craft for the long term. 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.

What's up, Achievers?! Sorry for the delay in podcasts - we had a crazy couple weeks and we are now back on track! This format is a little different today - instead of taking a deep dive into 3-4 questions, we decided to answer 10-15 questions in a more "rapid fire" way. This was inspired by Instagram and a new Q+A update they had for IG Stories. We cover everything from our personal fitness backgrounds, Lauren's due date, advice on deadlifts, our thoughts on internet marketing, our standpoint on "diets" and nutrition plans, our advice for aspiring coaches, and a whole lot more! Please shoot us a DM on Instagram and let us know if you like this format, or if you prefer the more detailed answers! Until next time, Peace, Love, and Muscles! Jason and Lauren ...
