Lifted by Lou

This week at Lifted we’re going into a strength testing week, retesting the main lifts we tested 8 weeks ago.

Why do we test?
In a world where most women use the scales as a measure of self worth, we’re using the number on the barbell.

Scales lie, barbells don’t 🏋️‍♀️

And the snacks?
Imagine getting in your car with no fuel and expecting it to get you to where you want. Same as your body, you need fuel in your muscles to lift and smash PBs.

Simple carbs such as bananas, dates and sugar provide quick releasing energy. Perfect to smash your lifts 💪

Avoiding lifting weights because you're worried about getting bulky?

You might as well avoid driving so you don't turn into an F1 driver.

Women simply don't produce enough testosterone to build bulk and most women won't be eating anywhere near the calories required to create 'bulk'.

What lifting will do is protect your bones, improve your insulin sensitivity, and give your body definition.

You’re losing weight on GLP-1. But here’s what nobody tells you.

Not all of it is fat.

A study by Prado, Phillips, Gonzalez et al. (2024) found that 25–39% of weight loss on GLP-1 medications can come from lean body mass. Not just fat.

And for women over 40, that matters more than most people realise.

Muscle is your metabolism. It’s helps improve bone density. It’s what keeps you strong, functional, and burning fat efficiently for the next 20, 30, 40 years.

Lose it now and keeping the weight off becomes a whole lot harder.

The good news? You can prevent it. Or at least significantly limit it.

Strength training + adequate protein = the two things that shift the ratio back in your favour.

We’ve put together a free blueprint on exactly how to protect your muscle while on GLP-1. Link in bio.

Save this if you’re on GLP-1 or know someone who is.
