#124: Do Men & Women Need to Strength Train Differently?
Update: 2025-06-24
Description
One of my listeners recently asked whether men and women should strength train differently — and in this episode, I’m breaking down what you really need to know.
We’re diving into what actually matters when it comes to building strength in midlife, and whether your workouts should look different from your son’s, your partner’s, or your younger self’s.
You’ll hear:
- What actually makes a program effective — regardless of gender
- Why programming can look different from person to person
- What to watch out for when training with men or younger family members
- Why a program designed for women in midlife might be worth considering — even if the exercises aren’t different
This episode is a reminder that strength training doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective.
