After training women for 25+ years, here are 5 training tips I give to every woman I coach:
1️⃣ Base your training around full-body compound movements.
Squats, deadlifts, presses, and rows build strength, confidence, and efficiency. Master these first.
2️⃣ Add hypertrophy (muscle-focused) work.
Once you’ve hit the big lifts, target specific muscles with accessory work to build shape, balance, and resilience.
3️⃣ Include athletic training.
Kettlebells are my go-to — swings, cleans, snatches. Add jumps, sprints, and explosive drills for power and athleticism.
4️⃣ Do weighted carries + grip training.
Farmer’s carries, heavy holds, plate pinches — strong hands and grip strength carry over to EVERYTHING in life and lifting.
5️⃣ Take rest days seriously.
More isn’t better. Better is better. Train hard, then recover so your body can adapt and grow.
