Episode description
In this episode of the podcast Claire Zai, a coach for Barbell Medicine, and I discuss the narratives surrounding female strength training. These narratives often drive interest to train, adherence, style of programming, and the perception and interpretation of the training process.
Females are specifically targeted because of previous beliefs surrounding frailty, body image, and their reproductive physiology. Claire and I attempt to address these narratives, detailing the physiology of the menstrual cycle, what beliefs should drive programming, and much more.
Enjoy!
