#270 - Don't Be Afraid to Lift Heavy Weights (Part 2)
Description
Summary:
This is part two of our series, so catch the first episode if you missed it! Today, I'm busting the myth that you can build "lean" or "bulky" muscle—you’re either building, losing, or maintaining. I'll share a time when we had to dial back weight training for a client prepping for a competition. Plus, we’ll chat about why you might need to target specific body parts and why the idea that women should lift less just won’t go away.
Key Takeaways:
(00:39 ) - 2 common myths when building muscle
(03:59 ) - What to do when you notice a specific body part is looking bulkier
(04:19 ) - A client example of how we scaled back their weight training
(10:15 ) - How to know if you’re putting in the right amount of effort with your exercises
(11:35 ) - Do this when you’re having an off day in the gym and you’re just going through the motions
(13:40 ) - Tips for finding the right coach for you
