Customer Reviews
So much knowledge!
Jen and Kristen are both so knowledgeable. I just found the show on episode 187ish and will be binging the rest, keep up the good work! - TitanFuelSupps
New Episodes Are Just Ok
I used to love this podcast. Now episodes feel flat and stagnant. I personally used to love the emphasis on Women’s strength and nutrition from an evidence based perspective. Now that the scope has expanded, I feel like what made the podcast unique and intriguing is gone. There are so many other great science based strength podcasts I can listen to, this one gets lost.
Motivated
I listened to the podcast when Mary was on it and liked it but I find it so much better with the new cohost. She sounds more positive and there’s a good flow between the two. I’m excited to get back into lifting and continue listening to the podcast. It always motivates
