Why Women Need to Lift Heavy!

Why Women Need to Lift Heavy!By: WOD Father Published on: 13/06/2025

The negative physiological symptoms many women experience during/post menopause are a result of the changing hormonal profile. But the way you train can counteract these changes. Specifically, sprinting and heavy lifting trigger a positive hormonal response resulting in better outcomes. In addition to the hormonal benefits, jumping, sprinting and heavy lifting are effective in improving musculoskeletal health leading to healthy ageing. As they age, women are more susceptible to osteoporosis leading to serious injury and debilitation. All the calcium supplementation in the world will not prevent this. In fact, calcium supplementation has been implicated in development of bone spurs and arterial calcification increasing cardiovascular health risks. Absent sufficient external stress, bones demineralize and weaken. Aquafit, cycling and yoga will not cut it. Jumping, sprinting and heavy lifting provide the stress necessary to maintain strong, healthy bones.

The greatest opportunity lay in the underdeveloped area of non-specific, generalized strength and conditioning. By building a better foundation of generalized fitness he could profoundly impact sport performance even at the highest levels.
