Description

Are you chasing muscle gains but sabotaging your progress without even realizing it? 

Michelle MacDonald teams up again with elite coach and world champion Hattie Boydle to shatter myths about building strength, especially for women. 

They dive deep into why mastering mobility and core strength is crucial before adding heavy loads, how to fuel your body for true muscle growth (hint: carbs and fats are your friends), and the mindset shifts needed to fall in love with the slow, steady journey to greatness. 

This isn’t about shortcuts — it’s about building a body (and a mindset) that’s strong for life.
