#339 Julia Hlaing

from Strength Chat · host Steven Cuthbert

This week I was joined by Julia Hlaing, a pelvic health physio with experience competing in bodybuilding, weightlifting, CrossFit and powerlifting. When it comes to training before, during, and after pregnancy, there’s a huge amount of misinformation that creates fear, confusion, and unnecessary limitations. Julia is doing the opposite, breaking myths, sharing evidence-based practice, and helping women (and coaches) feel confident, not cautious. What makes this episode even better, is Julia is actually pregnant herself in this episode.   In this episode, we cover: 🤰 The most common myths around training & pregnancy  🏋️ What best practice actually looks like pre, during, and post pregnancy  🗣️ The role of the coach and why language & communication matter so much  If you coach women or train through pregnancy yourself, this episode is essential listening. If this episode helped shift your thinking, the newsletter is where it continues - https://mailchi.mp/ea9ee2b51d7c/built-by-strength Follow Julia: 👉 @pelvicstrong 👉 @pbphysio_olympicpark Follow me:  👉 @coach_cuthbert 👉 @strength_chat
