Welcome to the 9th episode of the Strength Project, a limited series from the makers of The Women’s Running Podcast.
I’m Esther, and she’s Holly, and we are here to help!
We all know that we should be strength training these days, but it’s so confusing figuring out where to start. So we’ve put together a series designed to cut through the jargon, answer your questions AND get you fitter and stronger as a result.
The two of us are assisted by the gorgeous Kate, our resident PT and strength coach who can answer all the questions we can’t. If you have any more questions, or you’d just like to drop us a line, we would love to hear from you at wrpodcast@anthem.co.uk
In our 9th episode, we’re talking acronyms. We want you to feel like a native down the gym, so this is our guide to figuring out your RDLs from your RPEs. As ever we chat to Kate at the end of the episode to answer your strength questions. Your homework this week is one of those ones it is glorious to know – the Romanian Deadlift – or RDL to give it its acronym – is one of those ones you’ll often hear talked about down the gym or online, and I wanted to gift this one to you so you can see firstly, how great it is, and secondly, you can throw acronyms about down the gym with abandon. It’s like a new language! This one is brilliant for your posterior chain, everything from your lower back down to your feet. Juicy bum ahoy!
