Embrace The Barbell | Mandy Hagstrom - 851

View descriptionShare

If you think lifting heavy weights is just for bodybuilders and powerlifters, it’s time to smash that myth. Today, I’m rolling up my sleeves to chat with Dr. Mandy Hagstrom, a powerhouse in the world of strength training, research, and elite-level athleticism. She’s here to talk about why all women (yep, ALL of us) need to embrace the barbell and stop playing it safe with the light dumbbells.

Mandy shares her journey from Olympic weightlifting to becoming a national champion powerlifter, balancing elite sport with the demands of academia, and why lifting heavy has a direct line to improving quality of life - even for cancer survivors.

We dig deep into everything from the myths that hold women back in the gym, to how strength training can boost not just physical health but mental resilience, too. Oh, and did I mention we’re talking about running marathons, dealing with burnout, and how sometimes science just needs to evolve? Trust me, you’re going to walk away from this episode ready to lift heavy, push your limits, and rethink everything you thought you knew about strength.
