LiftingLindsay's More Than Fitness

"Science Based" & The Anti-Optimization Movement with Ben Yanes


Listen Later

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.



Rival camps exist between the "evidence-based" coaches and the "bro-science" anecdote coaches in the health and fitness world and I have a fantastic guest today to breakdown the "truth" when it comes to training, hypertrophy, biomechanics, and more!

Ben Yanes is the creator of the Modern Meathead Community, a platform to understand the anatomy of all the major muscles in the body and how to apply that anatomy to training. 

We talk about being science based, stretching, squats, and much more!
