Join me and my guest, Alli Fahrenbach, on the Flex Diet Podcast this week as we break down the evolving landscape of female fitness and confront the lingering myths that keep many women from embracing strength training. We discuss the nuances of body composition, progressive overload, and the misleading pursuit of scale weight that can sabotage genuine progress.

If you've ever wondered how to translate the discipline from the world of figure and physique competition into your everyday fitness routine, this discussion sheds light on practical, transformative strategies that prioritize fat loss and muscle building over the scale.
