Hey Gang,
Nothing
bugs me more than when good people are misled by fitness myths. These
myths sabotage results and keep people miles from their goal weight.
So I’ve got to warn you about the bogus rumors going around about strength training. I don’t want to see you held captive by a faulty belief.
So I’ve got to warn you about the bogus rumors going around about strength training. I don’t want to see you held captive by a faulty belief.
Don’t fall for one of these 4 myths and miss out on tremendous potential results.
Strength Training Myth #1: Muscle Can Turn Into Fat
Why would anyone want to build muscle if they think it could morph into fat over time? Don’t worry; this myth is seriously bogus.
Muscle tissue is muscle tissue. Fat tissue is fat tissue. One can't become the other.
Strength Training Myth #2: Strength Training Makes Women Bulk Up
Sure, strength training increases muscle tissuee on your body, but too many women interpret this to mean they'll look like a roided 1970s body builder builder...
The truth is that the female body simply doesn’t naturally contain large enough levels of testosterone to put on bulk muscle without a very focused and dedicated effort. Rest assured, ladies, strength training gets you lean and to lose weight.
Strength Training Myth #3: Exercise and You Can Eat Anything
This makes me cringe, as I’ve seen so many people, CLIENTS AS WELL thanks to Facebook, throw away their hard-earned fitness results by eating too much of the wrong stuff. Even if you strength train daily at an intense rate, your total calories still matter. To top it off, most people overestimate how many calories they burn as well as underestimate how many calories they eat. Talk about a fattening combo.
For best results, maintain a calorie-controlled diet filled with fresh, wholesome ingredients in addition to a regular, challenging strength training routine.
Strength Training Myth #4: High Reps And Light Weights For Toning
This myth, made popular in the 90’s, says that very high repetitions of very light weights would result in a toned physique. Sorry, not true. These high repetitions will increase your muscular endurance but will not add strength or tone.
In order to truly challenge your muscles, gain strength, and have less fat and more lean muscle... heavier weights with lower reps are a requirement.

Typically
your repetition range will be around 8-12. Now don't get this confused
for thinking "OK, I did the magic number 10...laa laa laa laa." Nooooo.
Those 10 repetitions were very-very challenging. Ask yourself if you
were to be paid $1,000,000, would you be able to muster one or two more?
