Strength training and muscle building are only for men, and women belong in the cardio area – this rusty old fitness cliché is long gone! Powerlifter Lea Schreiner shows why training with heavier weights can be particularly beneficial for women. This not only promotes muscle growth but also strengthens connective tissue and bones, maintains a healthy metabolism, and has a positive effect on hormonal balance. The book also explains how training and nutrition can be tailored to individual goals—whether bulking, cutting, gaining or losing muscle, training during pregnancy or menopause. Every woman is guaranteed to find research-based information and tips here to make her training more effective. In addition to numerous training plans for beginners and advanced users, there are more than 50 step-by-step guided exercises that include both stationary machines and free weights. Nothing stands in the way of optimal muscle growth! New product
