She emphasizes that calorie restriction can suppress muscle protein synthesis, making higher protein and resistance training especially important during fat loss phases, citing recommendations for lean, trained individuals in aggressive cuts and explaining why protein targets may rise as deficits become more severe.\nTopics discussed:\nConnect With Lindsay\nInstagram: @liftinglindsay\nJoin the BeStrong Community for science based training, nutrition education, coaching, live calls, and a supportive community of women who want to get stronger, build muscle, and improve their health.\n\nLearn more at liftinglindsay.com\n\nReady To Train With Us?\nIf this episode resonated with you and you're ready to experience this style of training for yourself, it's not too late to join us inside the BeStrong app.\n\nOur newest hypertrophy phase has already begun, but you're absolutely not behind.\n\nThis training block focuses on:\n✔ Lengthened position training\n✔ Strategic pauses and isometrics\n✔ Improving muscle tension\n✔ Building strength and muscle with intentional execution\n✔ Learning how to make the target muscle do more of the work\n\nYou'll get access to the complete training program, exercise video demonstrations, nutrition guidance, live coaching calls, and a community of women committed to getting stronger together.\n\nJoin us HERE\nStudies & References\nMorton RW, et al.
