I am going to straight up admit that I am not the best role model for the New Rules of Lifting for Women program, but I can talk to you all day along about how great it is and how beneficial I think the program is to any woman who wants to get fit, increase strength, and gain […]

The book encourages stepping away from the pink “Barbie” weights and becoming familiar with the […]

The intention was to do a venting write-up on front squats last night, but due to unforeseen circumstances, this post was delayed.. Has there ever been a particular workout move that you torture yourself with and get such mental anguish over that it throws off your whole focus and frustrates the heck out of you? Up until […]
