Description
Feeling confused about what “lifting heavy” really means?
Social media is full of advice — one post says women in midlife must lift heavy. The next warns us not to. So… what’s the truth?
In this episode, I get personal and real about a question I hear all the time: How heavy do I actually need to lift?
I walk you through the three biggest factors that influence how much weight you should be using — and spoiler: it’s not about keeping up with what you see on Instagram.
You’ll hear:
- Why it’s not useful to compare your strength to someone else’s (including mine!)
- The difference your background and history with strength training can make
- The role of genetics, body fat percentage, and lifestyle choices in how your results show up
- My recommendation for when to go up in weights
