WOW is it hard to find good women’s strength training books.

And I really mean that. In 2023, I’m still finding female fitness books written mostly by men, many with sexist language, that are outdated, poorly formatted, or just don’t use good exercises.

As a certified personal trainer who knows what good training looks like, I was very picky about these book selections. These are strength and conditioning books I’d feel comfortable recommending to a friend or family member, as well as use myself. And, of course, have exceptional reviews from others.
