The article discusses how women can prevent injury while lifting heavy weights in their 40s and beyond. The author, who has worked with thousands of female patients, highlights that women are more injury-prone due to premenopausal and postmenopausal women, particularly those who are now in perimenopause. These include an increase in tendon and ligament injury risk among women, as well as those who develop confidence and mental resilience. The article suggests that women can build muscle safely and without risk of injury, but also avoid unnecessary training. Suggestions include a specific warm-up set for squats, assisted pull-ups on a machine, or back squats with no plates on it if weighted squats are planned.
