DESCRIPTION

In today’s episode, I break down exactly what “lifting heavy” really means for women and men over 40—and why most people are training way too light to see real results. Instead of confusing rules about reps and magical weight ranges, I explain the evidence-based approach I use with clients, including how to train to technical failure, how to progress safely, and how to use my Rule of Five to get stronger week after week. If you’re tired of feeling stuck, hitting plateaus, or wondering whether your workouts actually “count,” this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been missing.
