i would say this is the biggest lesson you need to learn to keep progressing your strength training when you're no longer a beginner. it's the thing i see keeping so many women stuck from getting stronger and it needs to be talked about more. so if you're someone who lifts well but struggles whenever you add more load, this is for you.

a bangin' chat with myself and rachel henley aka. the professional foul mouth. from using training to manage anxiety as a teenager, to nearly wrecking her ACL through overtraining and undereating in her twenties — and where body composition goals actually fit into training that's meant to make your life better, not run it. Plus our finest "what the f*ck was I thinking" training moments.

too many of you have progression backwards. you should not be scared when lifting a certain load. adding weight to force progress and then wondering why every session feels like ass? let me talk to you about how to progress at a rate that builds confidence instead of leaving you feeling uneasy every session.

if you have a voice at the end of every session telling you it wasn't enough, even though you couldn't say what "enough" would actually look like - this is for you.

you feel pretty strong when you deadlift, squat, bench and yet your body doesn't feel strong. you pull your back putting your socks on, your knees feel fragile and your ankles are stiff.
+ it's nothing to do with your age.
