This week we chat with Maya Tank as she shares her journey from running and commercial gym training to lifting heavy and competing in strongman competitions!

We talk about weight training for women, being intimidated by the weights section in fitness spaces and overcoming the barriers and misconceptions that come from lifting heavy.
