Hello Kettlebell queen! In this episode, we’re having a very real conversation about why lifting for years doesn’t automatically make you advanced — and why technique, intention, and progressive overload matter way more than time served in the gym.

What You'll Hear:

✨ Why lifting heavy alone will not make you bulky
✨ The difference between training for years vs. actually progressing
✨ Why technique is the foundation that unlocks strength and muscle
✨ How poor alignment, breathing, and tension cap your results
✨ What progressive overload really looks like (and when weight should go up)
✨ Beginner, intermediate, advanced, elite — how lifters actually move through stages
✨ Why age is not a limitation for getting stronger
✨ Skill acquisition vs. load increases (and when each matters)
✨ Why random workouts sabotage “strong and defined” goals
✨ How ego blocks progress — and why stepping back moves you forward

Consistency without strategy will only take you so far. Strength is a skill, and skills can’t be rushed.
