    Are You Struggling to Build Muscle in a Certain Area?

    Lindsay discusses various aspects of muscle growth, including how to overcome plateaus and why muscle growth is important for different reasons in different individuals. She also touches upon the importance of planning workouts, tracking weights, increasing workout intensity occasionally, and even sharing her experience with pregnancy and how it changed her routine. Lindsay gives recommendations for choosing the desired volume of sets in a week, emphasizing the importance of being flexible and adjusting according to one's own body response instead of rigidly following existing gym trends. Along with training, she stresses the crucial role of diet in muscle building and recovery, particularly the significance of having sufficient sleep, supported by a 2011 study linking sleep deprivation to decreased muscle mass.

    Bands Around Knees Is Useless? New Study Breakdown

    Bands Around Knees Is Useless? New Study Breakdown

    Lindsay discusses the contention surrounding banding exercises, particularly squats, hip thrusts, and glute bridges. She explains that while bands can sometimes be used as a learning tool for beginners, regular use can lead to decreased performance and diminished muscle growth. Lindsay debunks the popular belief that banding exercises contribute significantly to glute development and suggests that genetics, well-rounded exercise routines and quality movements are the actual causes of good muscle development. She disagrees with the trend where bands are used throughout the entire workout routine, which is often disseminated on social media. Lindsay concludes by reminding viewers that her optimized training programs do not include banding exercises which have been proven by studies and expert opinions to hinder workout performance and muscle growth.

    00:39 Why do people band?
    06:02 Biomechanics have debunked these theories for years
