I’m so excited to share this with you—the LiftingLindsay Training App just got a massive upgrade! 🎉

👉 Want to check it out? You can grab a free week inside the app right now through [this link].

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
  • ✅ Full training programs whether you lift 3x, 4x, or 5x per week
  • ✅ A new resource library with quick 2–3 minute exercise breakdowns so you can master your form and train smarter

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