Finding Fitbliss

In this episode, our founder Lynndsey interviews our team's blood work analyst David Herrera about all things related to vitamin d (hint: it's A LOT!) This hormone is actually created by your body when you absorb natural sunlight and both of these items (vitamin d, sun exposure) have major impacts on your overall health and wellbeing including sleep quality, sex hormones, mental health, recovery, performance, and aesthetics.

In this episode, Lynndsey follows up on the previous episode where she asked listeners who were not committed to their "diet" to take the plunge to a maintenance phase instead. Today she offers helpful tips and non-negotiables for those people who concluded that YES, their heart is in it, but they are struggling with the physiological side effects of hunger.

In this episode, Fitbliss founder Lynndsey Eldridge and Master Coach Sami Clements share the stories of when they first got into lifting, how it changed their lives, lessons they've learned plus all of their top tips for taking up the space you are entitled to in the weight room (with confidence) hosted by Jess Matheson.

In this episode, Jess reads a listener question to Fitbliss coaches Shanae Smithson and Megan Forrest and they answer in detail. The topic of conversation today is when others give unsolicited lifting advice, particularly when it comes to arching your back to protect your shoulders and to utilize full-body power in the powerlifting style bench press.

Today our CSO (Chief Science Officer) Natalie dives into some evidence about the effects that Different Resistance Training Volumes have on Muscle Hypertrophy

• Volume overview
• Goal of volume
• Junk volume - more volume does not always mean better gains because there is a threshold.
• Some studies do show a dose-response relationship between training volume and muscle mass, the greater the volume, the greater the muscle hypertrophy.
• But there's also literature proposing an inverted "U" relationship

Study to critique - by Baz-Valle and collogues wanted to address high/moderate volume and relationship muscle growth Reference:
