Summary
His work emphasises the value of fundamental barbell exercises such as the squat, press, deadlift, and bench press.
Strength training has numerous health benefits, including increased lean muscle mass, improved bone density, and decreased symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Contrary to popular belief, women do not ‘become bulky’ from weight training unless they use bodybuilding supplements.
Barbell training not only builds physical strength but also teaches mental discipline and focus.
