Memorable Quotes:

"Success, in my eyes, looks like a few very simple things done every day for a long period of time. And so it's going to look like—giving your body the calories it actually needs, when you go to the gym, being there with intent and focus, not just dilly-dallying and lifting the five-pound dumbbells, but challenging yourself for that one hour a day, three days a week, prioritizing your sleep just like you told your kids to, and then doing that over and over again." – Joe Hoye

"People should train bulk because different rep ranges are going to serve different purposes. Two things we do know is that as women enter midlife, their bone density is decreasing and their muscle mass is going away. And so lifting heavy with low reps is certainly going to tell your bones to stay strong. That's going to help you stay functional and safe as you age." – Joe Hoye
