“Girls only train legs…”
Wrong girl, bro.
For years women were told to avoid training upper body because they’d get “too bulky.” Meanwhile most of us are carrying kids, shopping bags, washing baskets and the weight of the entire household on our shoulders anyway.
Training upper body isn’t just about aesthetics, although I won’t lie, I love a pair of capped shoulders.
It’s about strength, posture, confidence and longevity.
A strong back helps support better posture.
Strong shoulders create balance in your physique.
Strong arms make everyday life easier.
And building muscle overall helps support your metabolism, bone health and long-term health as we age.
So yes, train glutes.
Train legs.
But don’t neglect the muscles you see every time you look in the mirror.
The goal isn’t to look smaller.
The goal is to become stronger, more capable and more confident in your own skin.
And if that comes with boulder shoulders and a strong back?
Even better.
