She’s Buff, She’s Bold, She’s Breaking the Mold — The Rise of the Strong Woman
I’ll admit it: I nearly choked on my tea (Earl Grey, no sugar) when I saw a man comment under a female rugby player’s photo, “She’s not bulky — she’s just strong.” Just strong? As if strength is an apology, a disclaimer, a reassurance that she hasn’t gone “too far.” That single word — just — sums up the double standard women have been served for decades. We’ve been told to be careful, to lift but not too heavy, to tone but not “bulk,” to chase strength only in a way that looks aesthetically pleasing for someone else.

Longevity and Biohacking: Redefining the Future of Health and Vitality Longevity has become one of the most sought-after goals in health and wellness. No longer is it simply about adding years to life-it’s about adding life to those years. Living longer is meaningless if those extra decades are filled with fatigue, stiffness, or cognitive decline. This is where biohacking steps in.

The 7 Best Shoulder Exercises to Build Strength and Size
When it comes to upper-body training, few muscle groups have as much impact on your appearance and performance as the shoulders. Strong, round delts give your physique width, balance, and proportion, while also powering lifts like the bench press and pull-up. But shoulder training isn’t only about looks — well-developed shoulders protect your joints, improve posture, and increase strength across almost every other exercise.

Can Calisthenics Build Muscle?
For decades, weightlifting has been seen as the only “real” way to build muscle. Squat racks, barbells, dumbbells, and weight benches dominate most gyms, while bodyweight training often gets dismissed as something for beginners. But here’s the truth: calisthenics can absolutely build muscle.

How Many Deadlifts Should I Do?
Quick answer: most lifters will progress fastest deadlifting 1–2 times per week. For max strength, do 3–6 sets of 1–5 reps at ~80–95% 1RM with 2–5 minutes rest. For muscle growth, aim for 3–5 sets of 6–12 reps at ~65–80% 1RM with 60–90 seconds rest. For work capacity/conditioning, use 2–4 sets of 12–20 reps at ~50–65% 1RM with 30–60 seconds rest. Beginners stick to the lower end of volume, intermediates add a bit more, and advanced lifters rotate intensity/volume across weeks. If you’re unsure, start with 3×5 once per week, master form, and add load gradually.

How I Discovered Mitolyn
For as long as I can remember, my relationship with weight loss has been complicated. I was never severely overweight, but I carried enough extra pounds that I constantly felt uncomfortable in my own skin. I would look in the mirror and see someone who looked tired, sluggish, and older than my age. What made it worse was that I wasn’t someone who completely neglected my health. I went to the gym, I counted calories, I tried those trendy diets that promised miraculous results within weeks. Yet, the harder I tried, the more I seemed to end up exhausted, drained, and discouraged.
