Ep 1: No Bullsh*t. The BWB origin story
from Your Coach is Lying | The Calisthenics Podcast For Women · host Shimi Nadaraja
In this first episode of the pilot season of Your Coach is Lying, Shimi kicks things off with a much needed reality check: most training programs weren’t built for women, and it shows. She dives into why generic group classes, aesthetic goals, and inappropriate scaling advice aren’t cutting it, and why bodyweight strength training, when done right, can completely change the game. You’ll hear the BWB origin story, the gaps she saw in women’s training, and how bodyweight strength became the antidote. It’s not about chasing bikini bodies. it’s about getting strong enough to do the cool sh*t you actually care about.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Calisthenics for Women03:25 The Shift from Aesthetics to Strength08:19 Building a New Training Model for Women10:43 Understanding Bodyweight Strength Training14:01 The Importance of Structure in Training
