Description

The Bent On Better Podcast is the podcast where we fulfill our mission as fitness professionals in helping people improve their lives and become one percent better everyday.

As weight lifting gained popularity, so is the fear of many women that lifting a piece of kettlebell will make them look bulky or “Arnold-ish” (but hey, women with muscles look good too!).

In this episode, Matt and Nick get direct with addressing this fitness myth and finally give light to the many other factors involved to become a well-built adult.
