Aspect
Body & Strength
Train the body you intend to live in for eighty years.
Female physiology is not a scaled-down male one. Stacy Sims' work reframes training around the cycle; Rippetoe-style loading still applies, but recovery, fueling and timing differ. Strength here is not aesthetic. It is bone density, metabolic health and the confidence of a body that can carry, lift and last.
