Skinny culture, the "bulky" myth, and how to build the physique you want

from The Eat Build Sculpt Podcast · host Kassie Beth

Something has been showing up in my feed lately that I can't stay quiet about. Skinny culture is creeping back. It's sneaking into fitness content, and I'm noticing that it's discouraging women from doing the very things that are required to get the physique they want. This episode is a direct conversation about the fear of getting "bulky," why that fear is working against the exact goal most women have, and what I'm seeing in the fitness space right now that concerns me. I also get into the practical side — how to actually train to build the shape you want without overdeveloping the areas you're trying to avoid. This one comes from the heart. Consider yourself warned.What you'll learnWhat's driving the quiet comeback of skinny culture — and why it's affecting even women who know betterWhy the goal of "getting smaller" and the goal of "getting defined and sculpted" are not the same thing — and what happens when you confuse themThe real reason women won't get bulky from lifting heavy — and what actually determines the shape your body buildsHow I program training specifically to build an hourglass shape — including the things I deliberately avoid and whyWhy this isn't just about aesthetics — and what building muscle actually means for your health, your hormones, and how long you stay strong➡️ To learn about working with me, check out Stuck to Sculpted Coaching.📲 Follow me on Instagram.
