Strong, Not Scared: Why Women Should Lift Heavy – Myths vs. Reality
Strong women aren’t born. They’re built.
If you’ve ever thought…
• “I don’t want to get bulky.”
• “Heavy lifting will hurt my back.”
• “That squat rack looks intimidating.”
• “I’m too old to lift heavy.”
This workshop is for you.
For years, women have been told to stick to light weights, endless cardio, and “toning.” Meanwhile, research — and real life — show that heavy strength training is one of the most powerful tools for fat loss, bone density, hormone health, metabolism, and long-term confidence.
It’s time to separate fear from fact.
What We’ll Cover
Myths vs. Reality
We’ll break down common fears like:
- “Lifting heavy makes you bulky.”
- “Heavy weights are dangerous.”
- “Cardio is better for weight loss.”
- “I’m too old to start.”
And we’ll show you what actually happens when women train with progressive strength.
The Real Benefits of Lifting Heavy
You’ll learn how heavy strength training:
- Preserves and builds lean muscle
- Improves bone density (critical for women 40+)
- Boosts metabolism
- Supports hormone balance
- Improves confidence and resilience
- Reduces injury risk when done correctly
This is especially important for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
Live Demonstration: The Big Lifts (Demystified)
We’ll walk you through:
- Squat Rack Basics
- Deadlifts (RDL vs. Sumo — what’s the difference and who should do which?)
- Squats (Front, Back, Zercher — and why variety matters)
- Bench Press (form, setup, and confidence under the bar)
- Hand position, grip, and whether gloves are helpful
You’ll see proper form broken down step-by-step in a supportive, non-intimidating environment.
You do not have to participate physically — but you absolutely can if you’d like to try.
