The forgotten files! Not really but we did re record the second half of last weeks episode and here it is!

Ever feel like the scale has way too much power over your day? We flip that script by treating body weight like data, not judgment, and show how daily weigh-ins and weekly averages reveal the real story behind short-term spikes. With a simple smart scale and an app, you can track trends, spot patterns across your cycle or travel, and make calm, informed adjustments to your training and nutrition.

We also get real about powerlifting strategy. Cutting weight only helps in a few clear cases: you’re in the hunt to win, you want a straightforward weight-loss goal, or you’re an experienced lifter that is hovering a pound or two over your weight class. 

If aesthetics matter to you, then that’s where progress photos shine. The number can go up on the scale all the while you look better. We break down how to pair photos with trend weight to see true body recomposition, link habits to outcomes, and detach from the myth that “lighter always looks better.” You’ll leave with a practical framework: weigh most mornings, average weekly, take consistent photos, and let the data guide your choices.

If you’re aiming to manage weight for health, pick the right powerlifting class, or just feel stronger without the drama, this one’s for you. Tap play, then tell us how you track your progress. And if you’re enjoying the show, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who needs a simple plan.
