This was so great! I’m looking forward to adding more weight and working toward this. I have seen a lot of weighted vests on women walking lately. Would love your thoughts and guidance on them?

I think I need to write something about this!

Excellent exploration of the evidence paired with practical advice. I agree that lifting close to failure creates opportunity to listen to your body and focus on form. People are always worried they will get hurt by lifting heavier, but I see a lot of people risking injuries at the gym by lifting lighter weights for fast reps with poor form.

I like the way this concept turns failure into a GOOD thing!
