My wife, Stef Bare, joins me to share how a year of intentional strength training transformed her body and mindset. We break down reverse dieting, eating 2,300 calories, progressive overload, prioritizing protein, playing tennis, and her daily supplement routine.

This conversation is for all of you wanting to add in more strength programming, but specifically for women ready to stop holding back and build strength.
