Create Your Shape with Jenny the Nutritionist – Details, episodes & analysis

After 15 years of lifting, I've learned that training to failure isn't just about “going hard” it's a skill you need to develop and practice. Over the past year, I've grown to love it, but the journey wasn't straightforward.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the obstacles I worked through: choosing the right weight, avoiding injury, feeling it in the right muscle, understanding form failure versus muscle failure and more. I'll share the practical strategies that transformed my approach, from mastering setup and leverage, to using tempo work, to training my brain to stay focused under heavy loads, and exactly what to focus on first.

If you're wanting to increase your training intensity this episode is for you to gain the process to take it to the next level.

Today I cover the 5 different ways to track macros and when you may want to use or consider each.

Bloodwork can be so beneficial, especially for the ladies I work with.  I think everyone should be getting their bloodwork down 2x a year. There is a big misunderstanding about how bloodwork can be used to optimize your shape and your health. This episode provides an introduction to what bloodwork is, why is beneficial to building muscle or decreasing body fat, and the step-by-step instructions to order your own bloodwork.

In my interview with Jeremiah, who is also a nutrition coach for high-achieving ladies, we dive into many of the tools and processes to change ladies' shapes.We have a lot of similar concepts, but I think it's great to hear the way he explains them. 
 
We cover a handful of topics like:

- How most aren't undereating but they're underfueling
- The two biggest mistakes he sees when trying to take your shape to the next level
- How long it takes to see major progress and the break down of each phase
- Macros vs. Meal plans and the benefits of each
- Hormone health in females related to progress
- and more!

To one extreme, you can make faster and less sustainable changes, on the other you can make slower and more sustainable changes.  

They are like a seesaw though, there is a lot of opportunity in between. In this episode, I share why this is the case, the pros and cons of each, and my recommendation on how to mix the two.  

Last week I discussed just the mentality of it. This week in Part 2, I focus on this topic through the physique lens.
