Lindner shared bodybuilding techniques and tidbits from his personal life on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Millions of people watched his videos and followed his progress as a bodybuilder. He often displayed an unusual phenomenon in which he could make muscles such as his pectorals visibly undulate, calling it “alien gains.” Recently, Lindner shared that the phenomenon was due to a genetic condition known as rippling muscle disease, in which muscles are unusually sensitive to pressure. The “alien gains” he shared were essentially muscle cramps and could be very painful.
