    Feb 9 2026

    In this powerful episode of the 600 Pounds Down Podcast, Coach Justin and Coach George are joined by Elain Alcorn, a NASM-certified personal trainer and 100% natural competitive physique bodybuilder, for an honest and empowering conversation about women, strength, and resistance training.

    Elain breaks down why lifting weights is not just safe for women—but essential. She explains how building muscle plays a critical role in hormone balance, metabolism, long-term fat loss, bone density, confidence, resilience, and overall empowerment. This episode challenges outdated fears around weight training and directly debunks the myth that women will become “too bulky” from lifting.

    We also dive into:

    • Why muscle is protective as we age

    • How resistance training supports metabolic health and body composition

    • The importance of hydration for performance and recovery

    • Protein sources and why adequate protein intake matters

    • How strength training builds confidence that carries into everyday life

He encourages listeners to focus on health and wellness rather than quick fixes, advocating for a lifestyle that includes whole foods, regular exercise, and mindful eating habits.

  • When Faith Gets Labeled Weak in the Fitness World

    When Faith Gets Labeled Weak in the Fitness World
    Dec 13 2025

    In this powerful conversation, Coach George and Coach Justin dive deep into a topic that stirs tension in the fitness world: faith and strength — and why Christianity gets labeled as weak. When a few of George’s posts in a fitness group sparked controversy, it wasn’t just about workouts or programming — it was about identity, confidence, and what it truly means to be strong.


    Christianity can look passive or soft to those who haven’t lived it — but staying bold, confident, and anchored in faith requires resilience most don’t see. George explains how he stays true to his beliefs in a culture that often equates strength with arrogance and ego. Justin brings honest pushback around pride, bravado, and how Christians are perceived — especially in spaces where confidence can be confused with arrogance.
