Welcome to Strong Woman Radio, a sanctuary free of testosterone (except for a few special guests), where ladies who like to lift heavy things can chitchat about the struggles and success that comes with being a woman in a male dominated sport. We welcome listeners of all sports, be it strongman, Crossfit, olympic lifting or more; but be warned we don't like running very much unless we are carrying or dragging something heavy while we do it.

Enjoy the show and lift on ladies! Episode 53: Stacy's Feelin' GoodIntro (0:00) Latest & Greatest (1:16)Stacy finally had her MRI! She has an L4 and L5 herniated discs, one of which is compressing one of her nerves down her right leg. The problem has been that Stacy hasn't been in as much pain as other people, so doctors may not have been as convinced of the seriousness of her condition at the time. But when she went to get the treatment that morning, she was feeling almost completely better, so she declined the procedure. She's started taking supplements and feels much better and hopes to not ever need surgery. The injury has fundamentally changed who she is since she hasn't been able to lift. And even if she recovers completely, she worries if she'll ever feel that lifting is safe. (There's lots of people who have, however) Ironically, she didn't injure herself doing Strongman at all, but doing MAS wrestling and at a garden clean up. Stacy is definitely off to do some yoga and aerial and inversions to try to help her back! Listen to the last Paleo View for more details on her injury and her associate depression. Pokemon Go! (14:14)Viv is way into Pokemon Go! It's a perfect way to encourage people to walk and get some exercise. (Secretly, Stacy is actually now into Pokemon since our recording) Stacy prefers swimming. Vivian talks about running these days to regain some athleticism that has gone into lifting.While Stacy doesn't love running, she does love to do burpees to get that same exhausted feeling Viv's trainer Jason ended up in his first real competition and won every event.

In this episode, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert argue over whether things are looking better or worse for the American worker. While Stacy argues that the return of some manufacturing is a sign that wealth creating jobs may return to the U.S., Max counters that the system is so corrupt that the chances of labor getting any cut of the wealth is nil and that the internet giants will prevent the rise of a powerful decentralized economy online. In the second half, Max Keiser talks to Professor Jonathan Feldman about the Global Teach-In and about a boycott and short sale campaign and creating an industrial policy for America because right now the US even outsources some military production to China.
