Van Vlack Strength & Conditioning
Cristina,Jenn & Ann, set up for drills using 20k (44lb) kettle bells. All 3 of these Ladies are 120lbs or under. What I’m getting at here is that women should move volume (weight) if they want to truly maintain strength & muscle “tone”. Muscle tone is scientifically define by “the amount  of motor units recruited within a muscle during a movement”. The higher percentage of motor units you are able to recruit the more apt & ready a muscle is for being able to exert force. Taking for example a sprinter or a gymnast. I’ve gotten amazing results with female clients once they’ve let go of the “small pink weight” mentality & actually embraced the idea of moving heavier volume of resistance. Granted you still have to eat clean & do metabolic work but understanding that size & “power generation” are not always hand in hand has helped all 3 of these women get stronger,faster, & maintain a lower body fat percentage.
