Explains things plainly and clearly

Glad to have discovered this podcast! This podcast was the turning point for me to finally dial down the cardio classes and dial up focused weightlifting with progressive overload. Thank you, Lynn, for explaining the science and also giving tips and tricks. Would love more tips and tricks (especially high protein ideas)

Helpful information

I really like this podcast a lot! I found myself at such a loss as to why I wasn’t gaining muscle. This podcast helped to to understand better what I needed to do (progressive overload, more protein, etc.). I’m starting to have results now. I’m starting to feel like a younger 56 year old!

WONDERFUL!!

I can’t believe my ears, how much this podcast speaks to me! It’s exactly what I have been wishing to find.
On target and professional, yet clear & simple information. Easy to understand, normal/relatable and great sound quality!
Love it!
