Pilates Didn't Build That Body—Heavy Lifting Did | Melania Antuchas

Hello Kettlebell queen! In this episode, I'm calling out the BS after discovering a fitness influencer claiming her jacked physique comes from Pilates—when there's clear evidence she's been lifting heavy for YEARS.


What we're diving into:
✨ The influencer who's straight-up lying about how she built her muscle
✨ Why serious muscle growth requires serious weight (not pulses and bands)
✨ The difference between what influencers sell vs what they actually do
✨ How heavy compound lifts create the physique everyone wants
✨ Why eating adequately is non-negotiable for muscle building
✨ The importance of lifting progressively heavier over time
✨ How to spot when someone's marketing doesn't match their methods
✨ Why personalized training beats trendy workouts every time


The truth bomb: You cannot pulse and stretch your way to a muscular, defined physique. That body was built with barbells, dumbbells, and adequate nutrition—not reformer classes and 3-pound weights.


I'm breaking down exactly why this kind of misleading marketing pisses me off, what actually builds the strong, defined body you want, and how to cut through the fitness industry BS to find what really works. If you're tired of wasting time on workouts that promise results they can't deliver, this episode is for YOU.
