Dear Future Lifting Buddy
Women often think they shouldn’t have muscular arms because it might make them look less feminine, and I say, what do you want? For me, heavy lifting for hypertrophy did more than get me in the shape I wanted; it gave me the confidence to quit asking ‘what if’ out of the different aspects of my life.
Key Takeaways:
- Hypertrophy training opened many physical, mental, and emotional doors for me.
- The lessons I have learned in the weight room have spilled out everywhere and have made all those hurdles a little less challenging.
- Fight through the burn of a crazy set; somehow, it becomes easier to push through an insane amount of work.
