And I think the more that we can talk about failure as a positive thing to work towards, the more I think that we can get more comfortable at approaching muscle failure in the gym because so many women that, and I have to, I hold myself back in the gym because I see so many ladies like the lightweights. It's like, good for you. You're in here. Like, yeah, kudos to you.

But the 10 pound weights are no longer an appropriate weight for you to be holding when you're lunging. You know, it's like, I've seen you do this for the last three years. You don't need this weight anymore. And so I think that this idea of pushing yourself maybe is a bit more of a... I don't want to say male quality.

Like I don't want to ascribe, like I don't want to bring sex into it, but I feel like a male energy is like hunt, you know, get like find, kill the boar, bring it back to the tribe, like hunt, succeed, like get the accolades, get the... I think that that male energy will say, not necessarily... like chromosomal... It's warrior. It's warrior energy. Yeah. It's warrior. Yeah.

And so for a lot of women, like I know that when I was giving birth to my children, I went from like Stephanie the happy, generally, you know, like I went into... Okay. It's like, it's gomo. Like I turned into a primal animal. I was making noises I had never made before. And I think that... I get there in the gym as well.

Not that I'm making those same primal noises, but it's like I turn a little bit into that primal animal where it's like, I got to lift this goddamn barbell. I have a lot of weight on my body right now. If I do not stand up, I'm going to be crushed under this weight. So... That was a really long ramble.

I'm not exactly sure I was going with it, but I just wanted to add on to your very eloquent observations around why women are so reticent to really sink their teeth in and take a bite out of real weight training.

And that's, I mean, that, isn't that like just a life skill, right? It's like, here's another tool in the toolbox when shit hits the fan that I can self-regulate myself in this way. And I can channel that energy, that rage and frustration and PTSD, like you were describing into something productive rather than something destructive, right?
