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.

    How Fast You Lose Muscle When You Don’t Lift

    How Fast You Lose Muscle When You Don’t Lift

    In this episode of the Lifting Lindsay Podcast, Lindsay addresses the concerns and misinformation regarding muscle loss, particularly during periods of reduced physical activity. She begins by debunking myths around immediate muscle loss during short breaks from lifting, emphasizing that short-term breaks do not lead to significant muscle tissue loss. Lindsay delves into the process of muscle atrophy, differentiating between sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar hypertrophy, and explaining how nutrition, daily activity, and training intensity can influence muscle maintenance. She shares her personal experience of dealing with significant life events, including pregnancy and a miscarriage, which led to a temporary halt in her training routine and a noticeable change in her body composition.

New listener

I appreciate the research Linsey shares and the simple approach to explaining the topic. Most of all, I appreciate its clean (G rated) and also the occasional plug referring to God. Thank you!!

Love it!!

I honestly cannot get enough of your podcast!! As a coach, I sometimes look at the subject of the podcast and think “ oh I know all that already”,but then I listen anyway and I ALWAYS learn something new. She is SO knowledgeable, and I love her vulnerability and honesty, her giggles, and her very clear message.
