LiftingLindsay's More Than Fitness

Setting up Smart Training - Learning about working different muscle lengths & optimizing hypertrophy


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.



Today's episode I break down what it means when people talk about exercises working a lengthened, mid, or short/contracted position of the muscle. Why should you care?! Because research shows that working muscle at certain lengths can provide more muscle growth. THATS AWESOME!

The second half of the episode I give you advice on how to utilize this information when writing your own programming.

I breakdown programming into...

  • Primary exercises
  • Supportive exercises
  • Accessory exercises (only really needed for specialized training programming)

This simple breakdown allows us to choose smart movements and not fill our programming with a bunch of junk volume.

For those of you who would rather have someone else do all the thinking for you, click HERE to sign up for my optimized training programs. Train Smart! :)
