Referencing a recent meta-analysis of 22 studies published in January 2024, the conversation challenges blanket statements seen on social media that dismiss any menstrual cycle effects on strength. Delving deeper, Lindsay emphasizes the variability in how individuals experience their cycles and the implications for strength training. The importance of understanding hormonal fluctuations, particularly estrogen and progesterone, and their impact during the follicular and luteal phases of the cycle is highlighted. A flexible and informed approach to fitness that respects bodily changes and promotes health and strength without succumbing to rigid and uninformed training paradigms.
