Terms of Use
Terms updated .
This briefing provides strength training, safety and performance guidance based on current evidence, for information only, with no warranty. It is not medical advice, physical therapy, professional coaching or legal advice, and it is not affiliated with ACSM, NSCA or the IOC. Modify all recommendations based on your health status, equipment access and training environment. Your clinician’s advice, your gym’s rules and local law always win.
Use of this site
You may read, print, and share these pages for personal use, and quote from them with attribution and a link. Republishing substantial portions, or reproducing pages in bulk for another site or product without permission, is not permitted. Content is © 2026 Women's Strength Intelligence Briefing unless stated otherwise.
Accuracy and limitations
Guidelines and research evolve. Guides carry a review date and link their sources, but errors are possible, accuracy is not guaranteed, and a page may be out of date by the time you read it. No physician, physical therapist or certified coach reviews these pages individually (see the editorial standards). Where a figure cannot be verified we write Not reported rather than estimating.
Results from the tools on this site are estimates based on the numbers you enter, not definitive advice. Each tool states its method and assumptions so you can check the working. They do not read anything from any device or service.
Health and training safely
This site does not replace medical, physical therapy or professional coaching advice. Stop training and seek qualified medical help for sharp or worsening pain, chest pain, dizziness, fainting, numbness or a joint that gives way. If you are pregnant, postpartum, injured or managing a health condition, follow your clinician’s clearance. Follow the posted rules of the gym where you train.
No warranty and limitation of liability
This site is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law we accept no liability for loss or damage arising from use of this site, including personal injury, equipment damage or financial loss. You remain responsible for decisions about your health, your equipment and your training. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Affiliate links and advertising
This site has no affiliate links and carries no advertising or sponsorship; if that changes, this section will be updated first and any such link will be clearly marked.
Independence
This site is an independent publication and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by ACSM, NSCA, the IOC or any gym, brand or manufacturer.
Changes
These terms may be updated. The date at the top of this page shows the current version, and continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the current terms.
