Here’s what’s new inside the app:

  • ✅ A completely rebuilt exercise library with new demo videos that show setup and execution from different angles
  • ✅ Visuals that highlight the muscles being trained so you know exactly what you’re working
  • Home alternatives for gym exercises and even home-only programs that cover you for an entire year

This is a whole new experience—even if you’ve tried the app before.



In this episode of the Lifting Lindsay Podcast, Lindsay addresses the concerns and misinformation regarding muscle loss, particularly during periods of reduced physical activity. She begins by debunking myths around immediate muscle loss during short breaks from lifting, emphasizing that short-term breaks do not lead to significant muscle tissue loss. Lindsay delves into the process of muscle atrophy, differentiating between sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar hypertrophy, and explaining how nutrition, daily activity, and training intensity can influence muscle maintenance. She shares her personal experience of dealing with significant life events, including pregnancy and a miscarriage, which led to a temporary halt in her training routine and a noticeable change in her body composition.

Topics:
00:28 Let's talk muscle loss and the causes of atrophy
04:25 Setting the stage with the story I told on Instagram
17:31 Allowing myself to be flexible with life
22:07 The reality could be just a depletion in glycogen storage
