Want to Build Muscle Like a Pro? Start at Your Feet.  

Hattie Boydle drops truth bombs about what really builds a strong, sculpted physique—and it’s not what most people think. 

Michelle MacDonald sits down with the five-time pro titleholder and elite physique coach to explore why intensity trumps volume, how weak feet might be killing your glute gains, and why a proper movement screen is essential before adding load. 

Hattie dives deep into beginner vs. advanced training phases, how to assess true effort, and the misunderstood magic of training at maintenance before going into a bulk. 

If you think you’re lifting hard but not seeing results, this one will flip your training script.
