Lift: How Women Can Reclaim Their Physical Power and Transform Their Lives

Wrote a review for

I loved pages 1-126, which create a curiosity about lifting and body building that encourages women to try out things, and to know why their beneficial.

Pages 127-208 can go right in the garbage heap. She turns it so quickly to gatekeeping. It goes to "there is only one way to lift, and that's to be a body builder and obsess over your nutrition and weight and work out 7 days a week," and gives a one-size-fits-all approach to lifting weights. But that's not true. Power lifting and body building and strength training are all vastly different, with different dietary needs, and different approaches.

Loved it until I hated it.
