Number 2: Are You Actually Ready for a Fat Loss Phase?
Lindsay explains that not everyone who wants fat loss is currently in the physical, mental, and behavioral position to diet, and that maintenance is often a necessary, harder step than another calorie deficit. She describes how she typically starts clients at maintenance to build routines, reduce restrictive mindsets, collect better data, improve performance, and increase confidence with food before an aggressive cut, sharing a client’s feedback that “true maintenance” made later fat loss easier.

Number 4: Why Lifting Less Weight Might Actually Build More Muscle
Have you ever started a new training phase, seen your weights go down, and immediately wondered if you were getting weaker? You're not alone. In this episode, Lindsay breaks down one of the most misunderstood concepts in hypertrophy training: why a decrease in weight does not necessarily mean a decrease in progress. You'll learn why mechanical tension is considered one of the primary drivers of muscle growth, why progressive overload is often misunderstood, and how changing exercise execution can actually increase the challenge placed on the target muscle even when the weight decreases. Lindsay also explains the difference between external load and internal load, the role of stored elastic energy, and why pauses in lengthened positions can create a powerful muscle building stimulus. In This Episode: ✔ What mechanical tension actually is ✔ Why humans crave proof that their training is working ✔ The biggest misunderstanding about progressive overload ✔ The difference between external load and internal load ✔ What stored elastic energy is and how it helps us move ✔ Why weights often decrease when pauses are added ✔ Why less weight can sometimes mean more work for the target muscle ✔ The role of force production and force control in training ✔ What you should measure instead of only focusing on the weight stack Key TakeawaysMuscles don't care how much weight is on the machine. They respond to tension.Progressive overload is more than simply adding weight.External load and internal load are not the same thing.Removing assistance from momentum and stored elastic energy can increase the demands placed on the target muscle.A lower weight does not automatically mean a lower muscle building stimulus.Connect With Lindsay Instagram: @liftinglindsay Join the BeStrong Community for science based training, nutrition education, coaching, live calls, and a supportive community of women who want to get stronger, build muscle, and improve their health.
