Strength training with dumbbells. Melissa didn’t have more willpower than you. She finally found something that fit around her life. Three full-body workouts a week, dumbbells only. That’s it. It bends around a job, the grandkids, a bad week. And because progressive overload is built in, she stopped starting over and finally started building on what she did the week before.
That’s six weeks up there. Same woman. Same busy life. One program that didn’t ask her to rearrange it.
Real coaching. Real nutrition protocols. On your terms.
Every month you wait, that version of you stays out of reach.
BUILD IT. BURN IT. starts June 22. Link is at the top of my channel - tap where it says SOLIN.
DUMBBELL WORKOUTS - following along with a video and actually building strength, are two completely different things.
Follow along videos are optimized for the viewer experience, not muscle adaptation. You’re following my pace, my rest periods, my rep tempo. NOT what creates optimal mechanical tension in YOUR body.
Rest periods get cut short because dead air is awkward on video. Sets end when the timer decides - not when you’ve reached the stimulus threshold your muscles need.
I spent 4 years creating 300+ dumbbell workouts on my channel, and I LOVE that they’ve helped over 595k of you build confidence and get moving.
But here’s what I know as a CPT and after 18 years lifting weights… follow along videos are level 1. They’re the on-ramp, not the highway. The follow along videos served a purpose. They built your movement library and you developed the habit of lifting weights.
Now it’s time to actually train.
Structured progressive overload programs produce up to 28% greater strength gains compared to non-periodized training. Same dumbbells. Same workout time. Dramatically better results.
When you systematically increase the demand on your muscles week over week, your body has no choice but to change.
Follow along videos are fun. Progressive overload is effective. You deserve both - but only one of them is actually building the body you’re after.
6 weeks from now you’ll either have results or excuses. The only difference is if you tap the link in my bio, today! (Link is at the top of my channel, tap where it says SOLIN)
6-week BUILD IT. BURN IT. challenge starts June 22
What’s the difference between follow along workouts and a 6-week challenge?
Follow-along workout videos are level 1 - they help you build your movement library and get into the habit of lifting weights. Level 2 is training with a *go on your own format* where I can also coach you daily! Tap the link at the top of my channel where it says SOLIN, for all the details!
Not sure how a challenge works?
Every woman trains at her own pace, with her own weights, building her own results.
The private community is where I show up daily - nutrition protocols, form tips, weight training education for muscle and strength - and it’s where thousands of Cee-sters post, cheer, and hold each other accountable.
Each workout includes a video demonstration with verbal cues from me, for each exercise. Watch it on your phone or tablet, set up at home or the gym, complete the lift and then log your weights and reps in the app (I’ll teach you how to do this!)
Follow along videos feel productive in the moment but you’re following my pace, my rest periods, my rep tempo. That’s NOT what creates optimal mechanical tension in YOUR body. 100% of the women who come from YouTube discover they weren’t lifting in a way that challenged their body - to actually see change.
Women like Danielle who’s 30-something, all the way to up to Mary Catherine who’s 79 years strong, participate in each 6-week program. A challenge doesn’t mean keeping up with anyone else. It means you show up, you lift, you log - and you do it again next week. The only person you’re challenging is the version of you who keeps putting it off.
Three full-body workouts a week. Dumbbells only - just like YouTube.
Over 22,118 women have been coached through a Lift with Cee challenge. I understand what you need, and it’s all covered. Every detail and FAQ is answered through the link at the top of my channel.
Fitness alone isn’t enough. You can’t out train a bad diet. Most women stall because they’re unsure how to eat for fat loss while maintaining energy and muscle. In each 6-week challenge I explain how you should fuel your body in a way that compounds the work you’re already putting in with the workout program.
This is why I created the challenge app. I coach daily in the private community to help you finally see the results you’ve been working so hard for.
The next 6-week challenge starts June 22. Details are through the link at the top of my channel - tap where it says SOLIN.

You start strength training to change how you look. Lose the weight, fit the jeans, all of it.
Then one day you carry the groceries in one trip. You catch yourself standing taller. You feel capable in a way you forgot was possible.
That is the part nobody talks about. The body changes. But how you feel in it? That is the real before and after.
