Context matters. Almost nothing is black or white when it comes to training and nutrition, it's usually some shade of "it depends." In this episode I respond to some of the ALWAYS or NEVER things you have heard when it comes to meeting your goals. I hope you enjoy it! As always, feel free to reach out to me at michellegmason.com with feedback and your podcast questions!

Happy New Year!  First, we recap my experience at my recent powerlifting meet. Even if powerlifting isn't your "thing," in this recap I discuss a lot of my mindset shifts around this experience (including going up a weight class and my own anxiety around that) that I think may be helpful for you to hear. I also talk about the ONE key shift to make in your life when you're feeling anxious around food or the scale. Do you have a question for The Michelleness Project?

Burnout is a topic that seems to be on everyone's minds these days. How do you recognize the symptoms of burnout, and how should you adjust your training when you're feeling that way? I share some of my favorite tips and tricks for training during times of burnout, and how to come out stronger on the other side. I also give a an update as I continue to prepare for my next powerlifting meet! Do you have a question for The Michelleness Project? Reach out at michellegmason.com or @michellegmason on Instagram.

We all love the feeling of reaching a new PR or lifting a heavier weight than we could previously do before, and we know that progressively lifting more weight over time is an important part of progress, but what happens when you can't lift a heavier weight? Or don't have access to a heavier weight?  Today we dive into some other ways to measure progress besides adding weight to the bar (or a heavier dumbbell or kettlebell). After all, building mental strength and working on mindset when the personal bests are few and far between is the biggest - and most important - sign of improvement.

I'm ba-ack! Today I give a little life update, a training update and answer a few of YOUR questions: - What should I do during rest periods? - What are the exercises I never program?

Today we dive deeper into the concept of de-loading. What the heck is it? And do you need to de-load? More importantly, will you lose all your strength gains if you take one? I also discuss a topic I've had with a few clients this week; I hope it helps you, too! As always, feel free to submit your questions to me at michellegmason.com or @michellegmason on Instagram.

How do you know if you should hire a nutrition coach? This was a question I got from a good friend of mine recently, and I thought it would make for an excellent topic for the podcast. We apply this question to training and nutrition, and have a broader discussion about what to look for, and more importantly what to avoid, when deciding if working for a coach is right for you. I hope you find this episode helpful; as always, feel free to reach out for any specific questions. Have a good podcast topic? Let me know at michellegmason.com or on Instagram @michellegmason

A common question I get asked is, "How do you stay on track during a vacation?" Today I ask you, do you even need to stay "on track" during a vacation?

You have no problem staying on track with your training and nutrition goals all week, but then the weekend rolls around and you either have no clue how to handle the social invitations to restaurants, etc. OR you splurge all weekend and say screw it, I'll get back on track with my workouts and healthy eating on Monday.

Some workout and training myths simply won't die. Maybe you've heard some of these, and gasp, maybe you even believed them?!
