Strength Training for Women Over 50: Busting Myths and Building Power

By Liam "TAKU" Bauer • July 7, 2025
When it comes to women and strength training—especially women over 50—the myths run deep and wide. As a coach with decades of experience helping people of all ages and abilities get stronger, I’ve seen firsthand how damaging these outdated ideas can be. But here’s the truth: strength training is not just for young athletes or men who want to get "jacked." In fact, if you’re a woman over 50, strength training might be the most powerful tool you have to reclaim your health, boost your confidence, and age with strength and grace.

By Liam "TAKU" Bauer • June 30, 2025

Why the Last Rep is the Safest (and the First is the Most Dangerous)

By Liam "TAKU" Bauer • June 2, 2025
When people think about injury risk during strength training, they often imagine something going wrong during the last rep of a hard set. That’s when you’re exhausted, your muscles are screaming, and the weight feels impossible. It seems like the danger would be highest right there, right?... Wrong.

Part 2: Minimum Dose, Maximum Benefit – The Science of Efficiency

By Liam "TAKU" Bauer • May 12, 2025
In Part 1 , we established that strength is foundational to living a healthier, more functional life. But let’s face it: time is tight, and not everyone wants to spend hours in the gym. The good news? You don’t have to.
