In short
How women can build a strong, lean body by strength training early and consistently, with a “body blueprint” covering training progression, posterior-chain focus, posture/alignment, and a sample high-protein meal plan.
Guests
Sandy Brockman (strength coach/trainer; runs P-volve and coaches via Obey; emphasizes correct form, posterior-chain development, and mobility mixed with strength). Lauren Bostick and Michael Bostick host.
Key claims
Girls should be exposed to weight rooms young (start with gymnastics/sports, then strength training in the 20s) to avoid “weights are for boys” messaging and reduce lifelong bad movement patterns. Women plateau by doing everything at once; muscle growth needs separated focus (especially posterior chain). Excessive cardio-only approaches undermine long-term function (pain, creakiness, poor mobility). “Heavy” is fine only with good form and a program. Weight loss takes patience (often ~2 years; longer if alignment issues).
Notable examples
Kids learning barbell back squat; sitting cross-legged/heels shortening hip flexors and turning off glutes; “hanger” posture and strengthening lower traps (“supple leopard”); glutes as a metabolic/hip-extension power source; travel workouts via Obey/P-volve. Sample diet: 4 meals/day, protein first, ~25g protein every ~3 hours, whey protein, mostly white meats (chicken), some carbs (berries/Greek yogurt), 80/20 flexibility.

Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00Sandy Brockman, the best of the best, the creme de la creme, is back on The Bosticks. Enjoy. Welcome to The Bosticks, starring Lauren Bostick and Michael Bostick. Together, they are The Bosticks.
0:20We were just talking about the kids. You got them under a barbell. Yes. Yeah. So you had Zaza and Towns there. and uh okay well towns obviously how old is towns now no he just turned four he just turned four okay so but he's a boy he's running around what i'm not worried about is towns getting under a barbell because i bet somewhere in his life he will be in a weight room but what i do worry about is zaza getting under being in a weight room so you're being a really good example okay of working out in a weight room with barbells etc looking like you're on a gym like on the gym floor and Zaza's been watching you and the other day I said Zaza you want to learn how to back squat like your mommy so I gave her a little poll and I just taught her just act like you're sitting down in a little chair and she loved it it was so exciting you saw that how excited and Zaza's so good about getting she's so coachable too she's she listens she listens I'm really trying to do it all Sandy I'm trying to work out, be a good mother.
1:23Yes. Be present. Yes. Teach them. I know you really are. But you're doing. Okay. If we're here to talk about what women can do to help other women or their daughters, it's show them how to strength train when they're young, expose them to weight rooms so that by the time they're in their 30s and 40s, they don't have all these bad patterning. They learned how to be comfortable in a weight room early. So that's what I think is exciting. When you see a girl, she'll, it's, I want girls, you know, like I want girls to start strength training like in middle school. I want it to be like a mandatory class because they're not going to be exposed to it like boys are.
2:00So by the time they, so they just go into classes the rest of their life, you know? It's so smart to expose them so young because then it doesn't feel foreign. And I think for me, when I was young, the messaging, and you know this, was weights are for boys. Yes, exactly. That's what we were fed. We're fed like it makes you bulky. And, you know, I like I don't even go over there. Like, I don't even know what to do over there. Yeah. Yeah. I'm the stair stepper. Yeah. No, no, thanks. Like, I want to shrink my body composition, too. And I think that I hope alongside you and so many other women that are talking about weightlifting that we can change the narrative.
2:35Yes. You know? Yeah. And I think it's like getting like it's always as a perfect example. Getting girls. Stop. Stop putting girls to the side that they don't need to. do strength training and put them, you know, there's girls that are doing cheerleading in high schools today that don't have strength classes. So they're just letting these girls get injured and do it, bounce around, and they don't even have them in strength. Do you think they do that to the football players? No. Those boys are in strength. They're in their weight room, specially made weight rooms for them, right? And let's say that you have a higher level girl athlete.
3:14She might get in there every once in a while, but it's not like the men. So I would like to see that change. And I'm signing up to help make that change. That's so true. When Michael and I were in Pop Warner, shout out. Yes. I was a cheerleader. He's a football player. He's always in the weight room. Yeah. And then as I went into cheerleading in high school, didn't know I did that. Did you guys? I did. I made the cheerleading team. It didn't happen unless I see the pictures. Well, I was there for a year, but I didn't do strength training either. It's ridiculous. All the football bros are like in the weightlifting room.
3:44Yes. Ridiculous. And they're learning a very valuable skill that will take them for the rest of their life, which is how to lift weights. Yep. And women are just bouncing around, told to do more cardio, actually, and they don't even go into weight rooms anymore. So exposing young girls to weight rooms, even if their mom goes in or whatever, just take your daughter to the gym day. I love it. Yeah. And also what I've noticed, too, with weightlifting for the women out there who are skin obsessed is it does something different to your skin around the muscle, too, even on your face. Yeah. I notice women who lift weights, they look young.
4:20I think that you'll find this interesting because you're so into faces and stuff. But they have something called an athletic face that they describe as women. There's, you know, round, oval. There's something called athletic face. And it's from people, women who've lifted weights. It's a bigger jaw. Yeah. because just developing the muscle being strong everywhere you you'll develop your jaw muscle as well you know what i mean through bracing and breathing and all kinds of things that you've been doing so i think that that's kind of what you're thinking about that it actually helps structure the jaw through muscle you you gain muscle everywhere but through weight lifting you actually will create an athletic face you have muscle on your face i'm so into that i know i'm I'm so into that.
5:02I love that. Okay. So this episode, Sandy and I have been conceptualizing it over the last couple of months. We wanted to do a body playbook. And that's what this is. There's no Michael. We wanted to have a conversation about what I am doing with Sandy to lose the weight and recommendations for people who are wanting to take their body to the next level. I've noticed through taking my body to a different level that I have more clarity in my mind that I feel better about myself. I feel better in clothes. And I'm so passionate about keeping this conversation going because, you know, after having kids, it's a real bitch.
5:42Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it happens. And the thing is, we want to get it started before even everyone has kids. You know what I mean? Yeah. So that now we're not in a pickle after, especially. So in your perfect world. Yeah. If someone's listening. Yes. And they don't have children yes what are you prescribing what's the sandy well okay for life for your life as a female let's start with uh taking care of her body okay well this is how i would do it if you want it like if you really want to do it like correctly so we don't miss a step you know start in gymnastics or put your daughter whoever in gymnastics okay between zero and three oh fuck zero and five gotta get on that shit then move them Emily outside just signs off for I know and she is also with logistics okay um then I would move them into a sport so now they've become uh they got body awareness when they were young proprioception then they move into a sport and they learn how to become athletic okay so now you're layering now right so now you're starting to layer so then in their mid-teens and everything keep them in a sport and it's really good for their mental uh their mind girls especially they get to work they get to learn how to work with other girls but not as a mom in a sport is very hard but as a team it's a lot of work but it teaches you how to like women because you have to they're your teammate right they're not your opposition and that's a cool lesson okay so then once we move let's say we don't go into college sports or whatever now we're moving into college okay now you've got to do your basic strength training in your 20s.
7:17Do it now. So you had gymnastics when you were young, sports when you were in your teens, and now in your 20s, you're going to do 10 years of basic general strength training with a little bit of athleticism, a little bit of conditioning come in. So what does that look like? It looks like you've got to learn, women have to learn how to do body splits. That's what y 'all don't know right now. That means you have to learn how to go into the gym, take a couple muscle groups, and just work those and then leave the gym. So a traditional muscle split in your 20s would be, like men do it like this, chest and triceps.
7:54That's all you do. You go do work chest and triceps and you leave. Back and biceps the next day, shoulders and arms, and then legs. And this is what you do currently with me and Michael. So that's what I'm starting to expose you to more. Someone who's done a lot of cardiovascular fitness, a lot of full body is just you're working splits. You're taking your body apart and breaking it up into muscle groups. And I'm just parsing out those muscle groups and giving them focus so that they can grow. Right. So everybody, I feel like especially women are all doing full body, everything. And if you can learn how men lift in your 20s, meaning you're learning how to go in to a weight room, not in the treadmill, not in the any other room, into a weight room and work your chest and your triceps.
8:43How do you do that? You know what I mean? It's so smart to separate it. So you have to separate out your muscle groups to grow them. Okay. Or just nothing will grow and you'll stay mid forever because nothing will really grow. Let's talk about staying mid forever. This is an interesting concept. Yes. A lot of people are working out. Yes. And they're not and they're working out every day and they're not getting the results they want. They're working out every day and they're feeling that they're at an average standpoint and they're not progressing. Yes. Why are people not breaking through to the next level?
9:19Well, it's because they're trying to do everything all at once. Right. So they're trying to they're trying to do their cardio. They're trying to do their their strength. They're trying to do their mobility all in one thing, all in one class, all in one Pilates session, all in one. They're never doing what I just told you was starting to parse out certain muscle groups and work them separately so that they can grow. They never give one body part the spotlight. So everything stays mid because everything is work just sort of all the time. You know, what does mid look like? Like what's, what does that mean?
9:57It looks like, um, it looks like someone who's in semi shape, so they don't look like out of shape, right? But they never progress to that body that you're like, body. Does this have to do with the fact that most people don't know how to build their glutes? Well, it has a lot to do with yes, and that includes their entire posterior chain, which means the back of their body. Most people don't understand how to grow that the muscles to grow first is all the muscles on the back of your body, which include your back muscles, your glute muscles, all the things that no one's like focusing on because everyone's looking at the front.
10:33That's my four to one ratio that we talked about. So people need to be doing strength training for their posterior chain four times to one. Does that make sense? So if I come to you on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, yes, then the next time I come to you, we're not working posterior chain. What you're going to do is you're going to work mainly posterior chain all week with me. Okay. But we're going to break it up. We're going to break it up into glutes. We're going to take, we're going to parse out your back, different parts of your back. We're going to work your triceps. Your triceps are posterior chain.
11:07They're on the back of your body. They're the biggest muscle in your arm. They need to be strong. We're going, but for you, because you're re-comping your body, we're also doing a lot of, instead of doing work with the front of our body, we're doing a lot of remodeling of opening tissue in the front so that you can get more access to the back. One of the things that I find so sexy about you that looks different to me, and I've told you this, you have like a width because you have such nice posture that then makes your boobs look amazing. Thank you. Almost like a ballerina, maybe. Well, because that's what you and I talk about a lot.
11:44What you want to be is, I mean, it's sad to say, you want to be a hanger. So you want to think about your collarbone being the hanger of the clothes your body hangs on your hanger. Oh. Right? Okay. Isn't that cool? Yeah. So hangers aren't like this, right? Oh, everyone's set up straight, guys. Hangers are this beautiful thing that can drape the clothing correctly. No, we can't be quasi-modo. So that's what you see. But a lot of times, and you know this, because everyone's sitting all like this. It is true. And when you've had babies, you're constantly like this for months. And so your tissue starts to take that shape.
12:18And so it takes a lot of years to unfuck yourself. the older you are that's why i want women in strength training young and understanding mobility because older you are it takes more time to start to unfuck and unwind all the stuff that like the way that your body has started to sit and stay in those positions right so when you when you are out and about in the world yeah what gets your attention in a body i i personally like a woman with a very hourglass feminine shape but is kind of thick like jessica rabbit yeah like jessica rabbit but jessica rabbit could be a little thicker for me she's a little like her waist could be a little i don't need it like that little you know what i mean i like it like i like her to look um like a like a brick you know the song brick house she's a brick house Oh, you know what that means?
13:14What? She's stacked. Oh, I didn't know that. That means, yeah, she's stacked. So that means when a girl is stacked, it means like, okay, this goes to like how I'm always trying to straighten you, right? So I'm always trying to get your ribcage to sit over your hips to straighten your feet to go straight, all that stuff. When you're stacked, all the bones and muscles all stack. So they're standing up straight. And now we put muscle on a stacked body and a little bit like even over muscle, a lot of glutes, beautiful shoulders. She's stacked. Which is so funny because just a little like humble brag.
13:49I went to Harvard, a C plus student at Harvard. And I was sitting for 12 hours straight for days and days. And I came back and I was already fucked up just from doing that because I'm so used to working with you and doing my P-volve. Yes. That I immediately could tell I was out of alignment because I was wearing heels sitting down the whole time. It was like scrunching up my hip. Yeah. And it fucked up my back for weeks. So what girls, we sit cross-legged, which is keeping us really tight in our front. And then when we put heels on it, it shortens our hip flexors like even more. so if you sit for hours like this these get shorter and shorter and your glutes keep turning off and off and off so I told you if you have to sit for a long period take your heels off put your feet on the floor if you can that's helpful but also take breaks and make sure you're stretching the problem with you is that I had you for a while and you were getting very optimized yeah once you get once you put yourself back in kind of a shitty situation where maybe before you wouldn't have even noticed that you were so tight but you're so used to being untight now.
14:58Yeah. I'm a snob when it comes to how my alignment is. I can't even have a glass of wine anymore working out with you. I know. We've gotten too optimized. That's the problem. We have to dirty ourselves up a little bit. Although we did, when we went out, we did have a couple glasses of wine and I did not feel bad. No, no, no, no. I'm, you know, low key. I'm sort of into this THC drinks now. You know what? Yeah. I was thinking the other day, I'm like, it'd be so much easier to just take a gummy dude i'm telling you i this is off the topic but i let's let i because i'm trying to but i'm also i like to have a good time you know that about me okay i don't want to be one of the i don't want i don't want to be some i want to have i want to have an 80 20 life 80 i'm everything's dialed in everything's right 20 of the time i want to totally fuck off so i do like to have a few drinks every once in a while obviously margaritas on friday night like what are you doing in Austin if you're not doing that, you know?
15:50But it's like I started, I took these THC spritzers. It's like 10 milligrams or something. And I had a couple of those and I didn't have any drinks. And I felt like I was having a really good time and didn't feel the effects the next day of alcohol. Oh, you have to send me what that is. I will. I was really impressed. Wait, is it a can? Yeah, it's like a can spritzer, but there's also Willie's Home Rebony. It's made by Willie Nelson. Okay. Yeah. I can do a can with Willie's Home Rebony. and Jessica our friend had us drinking um Hugo Spritz Hugo Spritz never forget Hugo Spritz those were good those were my new favorite drink I know that was a really like refreshing but I feel like again but just like this the mobility thing and the stretching thing now all of a sudden you're aware like that's the big part you're fucking aware that you're getting tight like that's a paradigm shift and cool it's so wild yeah so well because like you're now you're like dialing into your body, you know, you're having a conversation with your brain and your body.
16:46And that's like what we that's what I want. That's like the that's a big shift for people when they start to feel, oh, I don't like how I sat all weekend when before they would have just sat and never cared, never thought about it. What do you think some people miss when it comes to gaining muscle and losing weight? I think that what people miss is that literally gaining the reason people we're keep talking about muscle i understand if everyone's sick of it now and strength and protein i get it but muscle is an elusive hard to come by thing so what you're saying you can't buy it with money it's a luxury and it's going to be the next luxury it's not it's a it's a luxury you have to work for yeah so what what people why it's so it's it requires so much think of all the shit you have to do oh my god and you have to eat right and you have to eat your protein and you have to optimize your body um muscle is like hard to come by so i feel like the problem is people are putting too much emphasis on the weight on the fat loss part and not enough emphasis on the muscle building part.
18:01So especially in women, it's always, if I'm feeling the burn, shred and burn, yeah, I'm like, I'm losing, but they're not that to me, that's like low lying fruit. Cardio. I gave you cardio the other day for 30 minutes for endurance because you came a fifth, an extra day. I know. And I didn't, I was done with you for the week. So I find that very low lying fruit. That's endurance. It's like boring. Women think that that's how they're going to get in shape. I give that to you just for a piece of the pie to make to your I'm trying to complete your entire system. You've got an endurance system, a strength system, a metabolic conditioning system.
18:41You're going to have all the systems and that's just one piece of it. But women think that that's the big part and the muscle is the big part. So I think that's the problem. You're not even like down for me weighing myself no because weight means nothing to me I do though I know you get mad when I say this I do have 12 pounds to lose I'm not over it weight means nothing to me because what if you gained muscle okay okay but then so how do you know what the 12 pounds is my jeans do not fit how I want them to yet yes I'm not fitting into my jeans yet okay baby but I also know something and I'm curious of your opinion about this.
19:18I know that it is to get my body where I want it to be that it requires extreme patience. Extreme patience. People are under this assumption that it just like falls off. Yeah. To me to get my body back to where I want it it's two years. Yeah. And when you know that that it's two years. Yeah. You don't become overwhelmed and overstimulated about it. Yeah, no, exactly. People are not patient. Do you find that? Yeah, I mean, you're there in it for the long haul. Like, I'm in this forever. Like, you're in it. And it's not client security for me. I have plenty of clients. I don't need clients. You know what I mean?
19:57No, you're booked. I mean, really. No, she's actually booked. Got a waiting list. You'll have to go on Obey. I cannot. Yeah, go on Obey and you can see me. You can work out with her. No, it's four years. if you and depending on what age you're starting and how much you have to unfuck body positions you've been in for a long time that you have to undo to get to the right muscle groups because you're starting to train muscle groups it could be that you know it could be shorter it could be longer but you better better fucking settle in yeah because you're if you want to do it right weight, it's going to take a minute.
20:34I just think if you're going to start lifting weights, it's not one of those things where it just happens and you're like, oh my gosh, I'm where I want to be. I can stop. It's literally the climb, Miley Cyrus, baby. It's the climb. You are, you are, it's, it's never ending. You have to commit to the discipline of lifting and be along for the ride. Yeah. If you're going to take on weightlifting. No, I think that, I think that it's, there's got to be, and it worries me honestly because I still see it in a lot of women, there's got to be a shift. And I don't know if that means that when the girls get in the, that's what I'm saying, girls get in the weight rooms younger, there's got to be a shift where women are starting to understand that if they want the bodies that they want and if they want to feel good when they're 70, they better start prioritizing white training and stop it with the excessive cardio.
21:26Oh my god, you're going to be, you're not going to be able to move, you're not going to be able to tie your shoes. Your back's going to be hurting you all the time. Your skin is going to look awful. Everything's going to look bad. You're going to get creaky. Yeah. And you're not going to, it's just like, weight training is not an option. It's not an option. It is the thing. It is the thing. There's not many other things. This must be so frustrating that you've been saying this for so long. Finally, it's resonating. Yes, it's finally resonating. Yes. But then the problem that what I worry about.
22:00So then I'm like, this is great. But then I see all these things on Instagram or whatever. It's like girls are starting to understand. Oh, we got to go heavy. Oh, my God. Everybody go heavy, heavy, heavy. Those five pound weights. We got to go heavy. Everyone's like, we got to go heavy, which you don't understand. Like I've waited for this day. Oh, like, yes. OK, you got to go heavy. but if the form is is sucks and they have bad positions then they're starting to do strength training on the body that they don't want so this is why it's so important that if in my opinion yes if you're going to do heavy weights get a program and whether that program is my p-volve kit i I curated an entire heavy weights situation for you guys.
22:45It's exactly the weight that I would use if I was at home. It's all set up for you in French blue and cream. Okay. Lauren Bostic for P-Volv or go work out with Sandy on her app where she literally tells you exactly what to do. You're doing with this app. You're doing everything. It's obey. It's obey. You're doing everything that we do in the gym besides barbell back squats. Right? Yeah. I mean, we're, Well, okay. So what's great about Obey is, again, I'm meeting women in their living room. There's a lot of women still in their living room. They haven't made it to the weight room. Okay? So I like it there because sometimes I need to meet them there.
23:22They need to hear me talk about positions and form and why we do them. Right? So in Obey, I'm actually coaching through it. I'm saying, well, this is what, like I tell you, like why we're doing this. And then they can transition all of that into wherever they go for the rest of their life. And what's so great about this too is if I go on vacation, I used to get a trainer at the hotel. Yeah, yeah. But I don't do that anymore because I've realized like to your point, a lot of these trainers are not training the posterior chain when I was traveling. So what I do now is I pull up the P-Volv app or I pull up Obey and I work out with you or I work out with Danny Coleman on P-Volv.
24:01And so there's no room for mistaking anything. Yeah, yeah. Because what I'm trying to do for women is to understand the basic strength training done correctly. Not that these other coaches aren't doing it correctly because they are, but I'm trying to explain the why so that women are starting to see like, okay, if I'm going to invest all this time in strength training, let me make sure I'm doing it right. I'm hitting my biggest muscles first right no more of this like oh I'm using like all my little muscles in the front or we're building traps we're not building traps and over building our quads and under developing our glutes anymore because everything we do is now you have to understand all the muscles that run on the back of your body are the most important ones so if you have three hours a week that week or whatever you're doing then you need to be training those muscles the anterior chain and your front of your body will come up as you get the back of your body stronger how do we supple leopard our tits so yeah yeah sandy taught me how to walk so like like she i literally could like walk in the gym if you want to get like the attention of the boys you taught me how to walk so they like do this weird bounce and so now when michael's being like really rude at my house like he'll be doing something that i don't like yeah yeah and i'll be like i'm gonna give this a test and I'll walk through.
25:24Okay. Yeah. And I'll do the sandy supple leopard. Yeah. With the boobs. Yeah. And he's like, it won't leave. They don't know what to do. They can't look away. Tell us. They love the bouncing. They love the bouncing. Okay. Emily's taking notes over here. Carson's getting excited. Okay. This is what's going on. Okay. So, but this has to do actually with weight training. I know it sounds dumb. By the way, we're on Spotify video. It's not going to work on, I can't do, I won't work. Just give a little shakeroo. I don't, I can't even do it on here. But supple leopard, explain what it is. Okay. So what it means is, okay.
25:54So what it means is, um, okay. So you have your boobs right here. Oh my God. Your boobs are here now. Okay. So if I have my hip flexors here directly opposed to that is my glute. Okay. If I have my lower trap muscle is here, it's directly opposed to my boob. Do you see that? Yes. So nipple and then rear or lower to think lower trap this is upper trap we're not trying to build so this muscle that's just very under trained you train it all the time which is called your lower trap they have to be strong okay now when they're strong and on your boobs sit as they're naturally supposed to sit they sit in your hanger you're in your hanger okay okay well what happens is a lot of women are they're so pulled forward yeah so that's why i'm constantly trying to reopen and set your lower traps and strengthen those because it's like your built-in bra and then once they're like built you know once it's built in yeah it's like they're your boobs move the way they're supposed to like nature intended got it here they're not moving so what she's saying is if your shoulders are collapsed your titties are not moving in the way yes that you are envisioning and if your shoulders are on and your back is on yeah but you can't like overarch it has to be it has to be you have to set your lower traps down carson is this tracking for you should i walk across the room sure walk across the room just a little bounce and put on milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
27:29the boys are singing
27:34you better watch the Spotify if you're not watching the Spotify video I don't know what to tell you quick break to talk about function people assume skin health and hair health and overall health is all about what you put on it but my biomarkers actually change how I think about my skin recently I got all my biomarkers done and realized that my levels were off in a certain area. And what I love about function is it points out what those areas were so that I can supplement for it, so that I can make those changes. And what I really realized is it's not about what's just happening on the surface, it's about what's happening under the surface.
28:06Realizing my skin had been signaling something I couldn't fix from the outside was so important because your skin is mostly a messenger and most of us have never read the message. Here's what nobody tells you. Your skin is the body's report card. Breakouts, dullness, slow healing, those aren't always surface problems. They're often signals from the inside. Vitamin D, zinc, tell a story, way better than American. Low vitamin D, the regulatory hormone most people are quietly short on, and low zinc, which can surface as acne, slow healing, or dermatitis, is exactly what can cause skin issues, hair issues.
28:36That's why I use Function with over 160 plus lab tests a year, including the markers underneath skin health. You'd never catch from the outside. There's no guessing, just a clear read on what's actually going on. Ever since we learned about this service and started getting these biomarkers done, it's been an absolute game changer when it comes to taking care of our health and wellness, because instead of doing guesswork and buying all these supplements that we're not sure if they work or not, you can actually see exactly what your specific body needs, what you're low in, what you're high in, and what adjustments you need to make.

34:41Why is muscle expensive tissue? It's because it takes so much to build it. All the hard work. You have to eat all that protein and the right kind of protein. And you have to sleep it, water it. You have to keep it alive. And it goes away so fast. I know. What is going on with that? That's annoying. It's because your body will eat it up. your body needs the amino acid so if you're not feeding it it'll just break down that muscle because it'll it'll take away your own it'll cannibalize you from the inside there recently was an article in the wall street journal yes about men who are rich men famous men who are obsessed with training their glutes because it makes you better in the bedroom etc etc the secret to a man's longevity and i think arnold should have a bigger butt in that picture but oh we're we're critiquing arnold okay so that's pretty bad why is it important that men and women really concentrate on building their ass okay well i'm glad everybody like now it's in the wall street journal so everyone knows is sandy brockman okay yeah it's because okay glutes glutes are they're the biggest muscle in your lower body so you've got to learn but every no so few people know how to use them.
35:59It's insane how many people's glutes are actually turned off. Like, it's crazy. Would you say 99 %? I would say 87%. Okay. And so everyone's making it, even if they think they're doing, they do have a connection. A lot of times they don't. A lot of times genetics are just holding it together. But so let's think if we're efficient, we want to grow the biggest muscle in our body, right? Because that's the biggest muscle. You get the most bang for your butt. It's like a thoroughbred horse. Yeah, it's like a thoroughbred horse. You want to grow your glutes. You want to have a lot. And now it's an energy.
36:33It's a fucking metabolic machine, this thing, you know. So it's so much muscle. So that's one reason you want it. Another reason is, you know, they say a lot of hormones, like I'm not a doctor or whatever, but like a lot of hormones are stored in the hip area for males and females. So sexual performance. If, if, listen, if a guy has big glutes, they're also stronger in hip extension. Oh, okay. And they have more force, right? They have muscle behind the push. It's a real thing. That's why men don't have to do as many hip thrusters. They get a lot of hip extension having sex. But I say all that to say, just like a woman, she has bigger, stronger glutes.
37:14These are muscles that she can now use in bed to make everything more fun. Their muscles like are fun. You know what I mean? What do you mean? They provide more power. So power, like the ability to move back and forth, up and down your muscles, you know, not just like flop, flop, flop. That's the mobility of it. That's the mobility. And when you got muscle behind the mobility, you can control those mothers and you got like a whole new world. so and that is i'm getting canceled for this no you aren't that's the right you're not getting canceled i'm just kidding um i hope i get canceled one of the reasons though that we we both go to p-volve and obey you guys this is important is they mix strength with the mobility yes and that is so important if you're not mixing the mobility in what's happening well and so what's happening with girls with their glutes is their their hip mobility is so bad they don't even know it from having babies from just being in weird positions their adductors are tight their hip flexors are Right.
38:14Being at Harvard, they're sitting in heels all day. Their back of their hips are tight. The front of their hips, their hips are compromised. So what I like about P-Volv is it makes you work on that little hip stuff that I don't have time always as a strength coach to get to. So it's nice to have that, especially at home, like with your kit. It's complimentary to your strength training. But when you do it, it helps you grow the muscles correctly in your in your glutes. And now you have the mobility and you have the muscle and your men and women are doing a lot better in the bedroom. Let me tell you that.
38:54I love it. I mean, that's one of the things. Since this episode is the body blueprint, we have to get into eating. Oh, yeah. Give us a you've given me a meal plan that I absolutely hate. No, no, no. I love it. And it's very close to what I do with the flexible diet coach who I've talked about on this show that helps me like just conceptualize what I'm eating every day. Yeah. I am the type of person that if I'm home, I'm eating the same fucking thing every day. Yes. We're not mixing it up. Which is great. Which is great. We're keeping it simple. I have too many decisions to make. I have decision fatigue as a business owner and a mother.
39:24Yes. So I need it to be clear and concise. Yes. Can you give us a day of what you recommended to me? And I want to caveat this with when I go to New York or LA or when I'm traveling, I'm not eating this way. I'm a little flexible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you're out to a lot of dinners. Yeah, but I do protein all the time. But I'm just I'm not doing this exact thing. But when I'm here, when you're here, okay, what am I doing? So so this goes back to my philosophy of 80 20. Okay, live your life 80 % pretty fucking good. Okay, lift your weights, eat right. And the 20 % of the time traveling or whatever you can fuck around.
39:59So the 80 % looks like this. And this is, it's old school, baby. It's four meals a day. I gave you four because you said five will make you gag. Wake it up. How do I wake up? I'm giving you four meals a day. I'm doing protein right when I wake up. All I need for you is one gram of protein per body weight. So we get that number first. And then we break up those four meals. Let's say it's 100 pounds or whatever. Let's make it easy. Each meal is going to contain that 25 grams of protein to equal the 100 grams of protein. Now I eat the protein first. Okay, that's fine. I don't really care what order.
40:35I think people have opinions on the order. I don't really care. I just, and you know, I'm of the old school. Sometimes let your own stomach wake up. Okay. But don't wait until noon to have that happen. No. No. So, but as you, so you're waking up, you're having, you're having like two eggs, I think I gave you. I can't remember the exact thing, but it's like two, two eggs, one egg white or something like that something like that remember I think you gave me three I want to say three eggs yeah but I actually am doing that later and I'm doing the protein powder I do two huge scoops but you told me you were like you need to be doing whey protein yes is that what you're doing no I was not doing that and then I switched remember I was doing collagen protein oh yeah yeah yeah you need to do whey for muscle um okay but how many grams of protein learned is do those two scoops have well one has 20 okay and i try to do this is very important that people start looking at their i mean sometimes 40 grams okay we got to get i'm gonna blow your mind right now okay okay i want you to only do the one scoop because i don't need you i don't want 40 grams in your of protein in your body all at once okay i want a smaller more efficient so much number yeah okay so it's 20 to 25 grams okay every three hours so you need to be able to break up your protein males it's about 35 grams every three hours i know but it's we're this is real business that we're talking about we're talking about the your future so when you're on your 80 because remember you can fuck off on your 20 remember that i'm not like one of those coaches that doesn't ever let you fuck off you can fuck off but when you're on your 80 you have to whatever i made i made a very bland diet for you it's like every three hours you're eating 25 grams So it's like eggs in the morning.
42:15And it's the you eat your protein first. And then I'm giving you a little bit of carbohydrates. Women need a little bit of carbohydrates to sustain. Men are a little bit better about only eating protein. Right. So I give you all berries. You have Greek yogurt. I gave you a lot of chicken. That's my lunch. So the other thing is you have chicken for lunch now. I have chicken. And I am not. Don't y 'all come after me, but I still like the white meats. I think that I think that people are getting too much saturated fat in their diet and I I say if you really want to lose weight and I'm not against saturated fat I also think there's lots of healthy things for fat you've got to start getting stop all the time with the red meat you've got to start picking the white meats that have less saturated fat if you're trying to lose weight now if you're not trying to lose weight I have a little Moose Farm salsa verde and it's a A little sour cream.
43:09Okay, okay. A little hot sauce. Yeah, yeah. No, I think that... I gotta make it like sexy. No, but I think for you, our discussion was you were eating a lot of red meat and I'm totally down for red meat. A lot of red meat. But I think that this, the ground beef, I think that the, for me, I think people have gone overboard with the fat is good if you're trying to lose weight. And me and Jessica like our organs. You know, I don't even know what goes on with organs. That's above my pay grade. You're eating or I don't know if that's fat or not fat. I don't know. we're eating heart no yeah but i that was a big paradigm shift for you is to go order chicken you hadn't ordered chicken in so long because you had been everyone kept telling you beef beef they call it a dirty bird no offense to chicken but no one no i mean i don't want to eat a chicken either but if you're asking me how i get my physique i've eaten a lot of chickens in my day sandy brockman eats hard-boiled eggs out of the bag in her car she will eat you will eat protein however you can get it.
44:08It's a business. It's just a business between me and my body. It's all it is. It's a handshake. Then I get my chicken and then you get your chicken and then I've got you having you can have red meat for dinner. Like a steak would be nice with some asparagus, some a potato, you know, a little bit of carb. Like I said, I don't like to just women to have protein only. I need y 'all to have a little carb, a little sustaining. Men are better. Like I said, they can go longer without carbs but our hormones require it but um so you I mean I prefer you have five meals a day broken up into small your protein broken up during the day because what you want to do Lauren is you don't want to you want okay did you know like your stomach is like a vessel right you can shrink you know like you're asking me like you can shrink the size of the inside of your stomach if you eat smaller portions weight smaller portion so it gets fuller faster I don't know if it actually physically shrinks but like i'll eat and i get full really fast because i have trained my body to eat small amounts every three hours so i never just glomp a bunch of food on it and stretch out my stomach hold that clip for social my goodness that's that's interesting i never just stretch out my stomach and let it like it then it's like a stretched out thing so you just trained your body to eat little so in my stomach now uh-huh it's just like little bit little bit but the timing is important that's the part you don't like is i say you have to eat every three hours.
45:25That's a lot of work. I cannot eat again. Again, it's just business. We're just doing business here between your body. And if I could tell you to eat one meal a day and it would work as good as the diet. And I think I gave you 1700. I don't like to talk about calories because I feel like it's a big deal with women and sometimes it sets them off. But I gave you kind of like a lower end of the calorie line, too, because you were really wanting to dig in. I'm doing you weren't. but you were fine on that. You did that diet. You did it, but you come on and off of it. I'm still doing it. I just do it when I'm in Austin.
45:58It's I'm reaching for Greek yogurt. Yes. Cottage cheese. And you're eating every three hours. I know that's the problem. You think that I am. You think that I'm fudging you on that. You think that like I'm adding that in as a bonus, but I'm not. I actually like my real problem is the ADHD. Okay. What's the real problem? The ADHD. We should call this an intimate conversation. An alarm on your phone. um you won't do that an alarm makes my nervous system over the edge between the music and the alarm that's a lot yeah yeah i understand i understand i hate the alarm i feel like i need to just get in a cadence where i'm doing it the adhd you like forget i just forget sometimes okay but uh what i'm trying to do is wake up your body to to get hungry every three hours if everyone like i would like my problem i need to eat every three hours i need to eat sooner And think about it like this, and no offense to GLP-1s or whatever, but people are losing their hunger cues.
46:52I hate that for this world. Yeah. You should know when you're hungry. Yeah. You should know, and if you listen real close, your body might tell you you need an iron. It might tell you something. It might need a certain fruit. It's lacking a vitamin or a mineral that you're not getting, but everyone's turning off all those cues. So my goal for you is to eat and feel that hunger sensation again. Eat. feel that hunger and and just treat your car like we talked that one time like like a ferrari not like just dump a bunch of food let your stomach stretch out and be you know and sit in it for a long time okay you gotta like keep it maybe this episode there's a famous singer and he says keep the blood clean the body lean and the mind sharp okay and that shit is true and that's how you stay that's that you see how you saw how like activated i got about that no you're passionate about it because she's always been like 80 20 is like a real thing and if but if you eat that clean okay you can go on vacation and stuff and have drinks and have fun and just get back right back on it when you get back we have gone out you and i and had fun and eaten at a restaurant and ordered what we want and we just always have the protein yeah and we have some margaritas yeah or a hugo spritz yeah or rosé i that means i'm on my i'm doing 20 that night yeah you'll watch me I'll always get my protein in what did you do the other night I order those chicken legs or whatever your chicken and I cut them all up into small pieces and I was I thought I got I think I got 20 grams but I can tell by the portion size because I used to like really look like I know how much 20 grams I should have asked you it was just yeah the conversation was no I know like there's a lot of hummus and bread but um no it was fun it was fun but um yeah but I you get your protein I always get my protein in like you do like that's the main thing and what did you eat the other night for my birthday?
48:39I don't remember. Oh, that I really let it go. I had those Reuben sandwiches. Oh, my God. Those Reuben sandwiches. I had to have those. Those are so good. And then I ordered a steak. OK. Yeah. OK. I ordered the burger. I know you didn't eat a bite of it. I know, but that's because I ate 20 Reuben sandwiches. Oh, you did. I took the burger to go and then I had the burger at two in the morning. Yeah. Oh, you did. Oh, God. Michael and I opened a bottle of champagne at midnight. Oh, my God. Champagne and a burger. that was a fun night yeah it was i think that it's important though for like everyone to hear that like no one's perfect oh yeah we're not trying i'm not trying to be perfect with my diet or my schedule i never want people to be perfect because um it's not sustainable so if people are that's why i do it's also boring i really it's so boring everything's so i want to get a little once in a while yeah it's like i exactly it's like no exactly like we're here to have a good time as well as be fit.
49:36So if you're taking your fitness like so fucking seriously that you can't have a good time anymore, then fuck it. Like, like, why are we doing this? You know what I mean? Like you need, like, I, that's why I make it a point when I go out, if I see, because people have watched what I've eaten. I've noticed what you're eating sometimes. Allie, whatever the fuck I want. Okay. Because I remember this one and this one lady taught it to me. She was the best, she was in the best shape and she was my idol at this gym I used to work at. And I saw her and we went to lunch a big group of us and she ordered queso and I remember this muscle this great arm and I thought this bitch nailed it she's fit and she eats what she wants we had queso a long time ago remember when we went to Fonda that's you're nailing it I if I can't have queso put me out if you have queso it's over queso is my favorite oh you love no I have to have queso I know you're like there's no queso there's people that have to have queso I can just do salsa I don't have to Fendito, Fendito, queso.
50:33Like just the cheese. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The cheese, okay. Nobody gets the Fendito or whatever. Nobody gets the Fendito. Flambito. No, no, no, I want the queso, the real queso. That's addictive once you get started. This episode is brought to you by Squarespace. Squarespace is the all-in-one website platform designed to help you stand out and succeed online. Whether you're just starting out or scaling your business, Squarespace gives you everything you need to claim your domain, showcase your offerings with a professional website, grow your brand, and get paid all in one place. Lauren and I love Squarespace.
51:01We love talking about Squarespace. We love sharing Squarespace. And that's because for two people who have largely built their careers online, we wish we had this back when we were starting. So many people depend on these third-party social platforms to build their brand. But here's the problem. You don't actually own that asset. You're renting space. You're renting time on a platform that you're at the mercy of their algorithms, their control, their rules. And it's really dangerous for somebody who's trying to build their own online business, their online hobby, their own online presence. This is why everything we do, whether it's owning our website or this RSS feed or an e-com store, we own all of that.
51:36Squarespace can now help you do the same thing. Whether you're thinking about building a hobby, whether you're thinking about starting your own online brand, whether you're thinking about doing courses or subscription businesses, whether you're thinking about doing an e-com store, accepting payments, managing a newsletter, Squarespace can help you do all of it and they can help you do it cost effectively. They also have so many different features, whether it's cutting edge design, SEO tools. Squarespace is a partner that can basically do it all in one place without having to go to 18 different parties.
52:02When we were first starting, we had to go to all these different designers and coders and different web developers to get even the simplest website done. Now Squarespace takes all of that headache out of it and helps you do it all in one place. And again, cost effectively. So if you've been thinking about building your online side hustle, your own business, your own online platform, and you want to own it yourself without being at the mercy of a third party, Squarespace can help you do so.

52:29Again, that's squarespace.com slash skinny. If you saw my Harvard look, you saw the gorgeous maroon Bottega Veneta bag that I was carrying around. It was so collegiate, so major, so beautiful. But I bet you didn't know that I got it at a members-only club where I can send it back and rotate it to something else. If you don't know V-Rail yet, you're missing out. It's a members-only club where you can experience designer bags and jewelry just like me. You can have a rotating dream closet. The closet's insane. Like, go stock it. They have Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Dior, all the brands that I dream about.
53:04One of those brands, Bottega Veneta, that's the maroon bag I got. I've already sent mine in and rotated it out for another bag. So if you want to go grab that one, I would go on their site now. The way it works is once you're accepted into the club, you just pick the piece that you want to borrow and it shows up at your doorstep. it's quite surreal okay the best part and what hooked me is there's no return dates so you can keep the piece as long as you want or do what I do and swap it out monthly if you're ready for something fresh and new I have grabbed bags on there from Chanel I've found a gorgeous Fendi bag even Celine there's so many beautiful options Vivrell gave us an amazing offer just for our listeners that you definitely do not want to miss use code skinny when you apply and get your first month of membership free.

I've been talking about Wayfair a lot because here in Texas, it gets hot, hot, hot, and the weather is brutal on outdoor furniture. This is why every season I'm constantly looking to replace our outdoor furniture. It gets shredded out here in Texas. Recently, I talked about a chair that I bought from Wayfair, but I also just recently bought an umbrella called the Pierpoint Market Umbrella.
54:29This umbrella was less than$60. It was on sale at Wayfair, and it's an incredible umbrella that gets the job done. It covers the sun. It keeps me covered, and I use it with the chair that I bought. What I love about Wayfair is you can basically find everything you need for the house, all cost-effectively, all in one place. Whether you're looking for outdoor furniture like I was or seating or grills, appliances, storage, lighting, rugs, decor, one place, everything you need, no bouncing between stores. And if putting things together sounds like a headache, which it always does for me, I absolutely hate putting together furniture.
54:57They can handle assembly. They can also handle delivery, installation, and they can place it where you need it. You just pick what you want and they deal with the rest. With over 20 million five-star reviews, you're not buying blind. They have real customers, real homes, and real feedback before anything hits your cart. And like I said, I love this company because they have something for everyone in every area of the home. Their team of product specialists vets everything by hand using a 10-point inspection, testing things like quality of materials, functionality and features, and even how long it takes to build.
55:25So check them out. There's something for everyone when it comes to home goods, home decor, home furniture at Wayfair.

I designed every single aspect of this kit with the P-Volv team, and it is gorgeous, as you can see. We have 8-pound weights, 12-pound weights, 15-pound weights, because I am so passionate about getting women to lift heavier.
56:04And this kit has heavy weights in it, and it also has everything you need for stability and mobility. So in this kit, you're really getting everything you could ever want when it comes to fitness. You're also getting access to my P-Volv trainer, Dani Coleman. She also happens to be Jennifer Aniston's trainer. She's coached me along this P-Volv journey. P-Volv has been something that I keep going back to for the last seven years. I've had three babies and it's helped me stay in shape and tighten and tone up. I love the founder, Rachel. I think she's an absolute genius. So when she came to me and wanted to create this custom kit for you guys, I was like, let's do it.
56:41It's limited edition. It's gorgeous. It comes in the most beautiful box ever. And the best part is everything is built with intention. So P-Volves core strength pillars are strength, mobility, and stability. And this kit hits all of them. This is product that you want out in your living room, in your office. It's aesthetically pleasing. It's gorgeous. but most importantly, it works. If you want to shrink your body composition and change your life, start lifting heavy and implement stability and mobility. Lauren Bostic for P-Volv has all of the things. Like I said, this is a limited edition kit.
57:19It's called Strength Evolved, and once it's gone, it's gone. If you're looking for low impact but intense workouts, check out P-Volv. Head to pvolve.com slash skinny and use code skinny for 15 % off site-wide or on class packs at a pvolve studio near you. And definitely grab this kit, you guys, because like I said, once it's gone, it's gone. Lauren Bostic for pvolve. Before you go, what other comments do you have? And they could be random or put together thoughts on a body blueprint for people who are listening. What are things that you just like pillars that you think are important? Well, I think, okay so let me start with men really fast I want to touch on that please I think that men have I think we I think that men need to start thinking about growing their glutes okay where's the 215 I was promised of muscle you're getting too thin I don't know you want to stay athletic gentlemen need to stay athletic doesn't the penis pump more blood when they lift weights too yes oh god yeah Yeah.
58:21And I mean, I was talking about glutes for men because we were talking about there's a certain seam on Lululemons or aloes and you want like the their ass to sit up high in those things. So I need to like show men where it's hitting. But that denotes a lot of things to women. I'm just going to leave that out there since we're talking about sex, like a lot of things we see like. And also, I think men need to do a posterior chain dominant training. Men do need to work more. They need to build up their legs with their glutes. So it's a little bit different. Not that women don't have to do that, but we do it a little bit differently.
58:54The other random thoughts I have are I'm excited about the Obey doing this podcast. So good. So excited. We're going to do a podcast. We're going to do a podcast sponsored by Obey and it's six episodes and it's going to be every question you ever asked. I've got three by myself. So I'm going to just go off. People are going to be obsessed. I'm going to go off on all my thoughts. I'm going to go off on all the things that like no one ever told you. And then I've got a sports performance guy coming in here and a physical therapist to talk to us about what a personal trainer and a physical therapist, how we need to come together to get people like so we don't have to do all this remodeling when they're older.
59:34I love it. Yeah, I think it's genius. I feel like it's going to be one of those things that keeps going to I wouldn't be surprised. Oh, we hope. You're great on a mic. I get a lot of comments. This woman has not made a point in like 20 minutes. and I agree but I'm trying actually she you do make a hundred points um I thank you have so loved working out with you I hope that you'll use our studio to record we are I'm using your studio we can put like no no leave please leave the plastic so people think I'm related to you in any way I mean great we I love to be related to you you look like an avatar thank you when we walk through a restaurant oh when i'm behind sandy lauren and she looks like an avatar oh or jessica rabbit had a baby oh my gosh and the men they have their tongues out like the cartoons and i'm behind you and i'm like someone take a look at me yeah no oh stop i'm also six feet tall like in heels like let's be honest this woman when she walks into a room let me tell you the boys boners are out oh my god well speaking of boners glutes keep doing glutes keep doing glutes keep eating your chicken eating your chicken um don't be afraid of white meat and eat every three hours eat every three hours get your young girls into some strength training take them into weight rooms get them used to being in weight rooms can you give us a code for obey so people can work out with you yes it's skinny at obeyfitness.com for free 30-day trial and start training with me on the strength collective too now you have to know this there's a strength collective one.
1:01:07And I think that you really need to do both to get the maximum benefit out of me. I've only done one so far when I travel. And now I'm going to try two. So you do have to go through one is what you're saying to try two. I think so. It has all my signature correctives in it. It teaches you how to load posterior chain, meaning using your back more and using your glutes and the back of your body more. And then in strength two, we take all of that that we learned in one and we apply it to two and we actually do like more faster lifting you know what I mean like normal lifting of weights I have one more question yes go ahead is it possible to build your dream body in just four hours a week yes absolutely yes well remember when we started the episode we talked about body part splits okay so instead of just going to the gym and like I don't know what I'm gonna do and going to the Pilates and going to I need to not dog Pilates again Pilates is a nice accessory tool to your strength training but um you need to go you need to have a plan so i'm today i'm working back and biceps tomorrow chest and triceps and i say glute and shoulders you know like you're taking your body take your body apart give each muscle group its own spotlight for a while and you'll get the best results you've ever gotten in your life more than massive and you but but done correctly four times a week is enough because you will be sore in all those muscles you You know what I mean?
1:02:31Recovery is most of the issue. But of course, the only other day I would add is an athletic day. Okay. So four days a week, you're doing strength training, which you can do metabolic conditioning. You can do endurance, but you do that on your own time. And just so everyone, my schedule is four days a week with you. I mix it up on which days. I do P-evolve twice a week and then I take Pilates. Yeah. And the Pilates that I take is like a hit Pilates. Yeah. She's very hard. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And you needed a lot of core stuff after you. I'm not a bit. I think core is like a dog whistle for women. Core.
1:03:06You know, every class is like core adductors come in women like, you know, that's how they pull you all in. But so I feel like it's like a total dog whistle. But I feel like you and we talked about it because we're re-comping your body needed extra core work because of like you just had three babies in like one year. I also did the pelvic floor thing where they put the fingers up the vagina. That's another episode though, Carson. Yeah, you should do that episode. I want to listen to that episode for sure. Well, that was a wild ride. But so that's where you, I had you go to Pilates with Brittany and we, and that's actually been really good for you.
1:03:44I mean, I really like that. I like my schedule right now. I feel very in alignment. Sandy Brockman, where can everyone find you and Obey.
