About this episode
There's a myth that you have to be doing back squats, deadlifts, and barbell bench presses or you're not really strength training.The reality is you don't need any of the three. You can get just as strong doing other things.In this episode, I explain why, as a 55yo woman, I skip those lifts, and what I program instead. Enjoy the show!
