Body Building Myths

Body Building Myths

The Myth: You need to do high reps for definition and low reps for mass

The Truth: More reps will be more effective at burning fat; heavier weights lead to more muscle

 

The Myth: One day can be spent on arms, the next day on legs, the next on the chest etc...

The Truth: If you want steady progress you need to fully recover before you try to stimulate more growth from any muscle.

 

The Myth: Training for mass is different to training for strength

The Truth: A muscle can only do three things: get bigger, get smaller, or stay the same.

 

The Myth: If you aren't making gains after training for three days a week, you need steroids

The Truth: A fixed training schedule e.g. 3 days a week will make your muscles stale - you need to build up your muscle training progressively!

 

The Myth: You need to switch your training between high intensity and lower intensity

The Truth: Muscles only get bigger after progressive training; lower intensity will only be a waste of time and energy
