Lifting Heavy: Women's Strength Training Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts load the bar: the first intimidating months and the coaches who normalised them, DEXA scans documenting bone density defended through menopause, deadlifts that fixed backs everyone said to baby, strength standards reached at fifty-five that thirty-five never attempted, and the identity shift from shrinking to taking up space. Writers include injury setbacks and form rebuilt, the 'bulky' myth dismantled by experience, protein learned late, and daughters brought along.

Who it's for

For women eyeing the free-weights section, lifting through menopause and after, or converting years of cardio into a body built to last.
