In 5 years, while working as a personal trainer, I have discovered many muscle building hype floating around the internet.
Here are some of the most common myths which will affect your muscle building goals. Next to the myth, I revealed the truth so you can learn how to do it right.
1. You need to drastically reduce your calories to lose weight and build muscle.
The false value. You actually need to eat more food, just to be the best food and small portions. The objective is to increase the metabolism and this can be done by eating a small meal every 3 hours.
If you reduce excess calories, your metabolism will be in fact slow down, which allows you to keep the stored fat. This is why the plans do not work!
My clients eat more and always keep loss of body fat. Eat often maintains metabolism running smooth and it helps to keep the nutrients to the faucet for your body to use in muscle repair.
Not only that, muscular construction without enough calories is impossible. Calories (energy) needed to build muscle.
2 Exercises should be performed every day.
The false value. Over-Training may be doing too much cardio and too much training weights. Something every day will have a negative impact on your muscle building results.
When you rest? Imagine that go you to your work and 7 days a week, 365 days a year of work. How long until what you love? Keep the cardio to 2-3 sessions per week. No more that and affect you your muscle building and your time of recovery between workouts.
3. Plue session aerobic best.
The false value. It is not the length, it is the level of intensity of what you do. Yet again, more is not better. Create something better is better. If instead of doing cardio sessions long, dragging, make short (not more than 30 minutes) and intense (work hard!) This will bring better muscle building results.
4. You must spend hours per day, the number of days a week of training weight to see results.
The false value. This is the fastest way does not see the results. The muscle building process is fairly easy. You just lift weights to stimulate muscle growth and then you let the muscle recover before lead you again and then you try to lift a little more the following training.
Hold sessions less than an hour and try to do step train weight of more than 4-5 days a week. Adopt the "more is not better philosophy" for you.
5 Stimulation and pacemakers Ab exercises will give you a great set of Abs.
The false value. ABS, like any other muscle group, must be resolved with the formation of resistance in order to grow. Not to mention that you must do cardio to help burn the fat around the vagina and to concentrate on proper nutrition to make sure that you turn off the fat.
ABS are developed by overload and these electrical stimulators don't overload the muscle. Stimulatory AB create involuntary contractions. This can help the therapeutic effect on the abdominal muscles, but not muscle development process. They will do nothing for the abs, pure and simple. They will work in your portfolio over the abs.
6. You work a muscle more than once a week.
The false value. So intensely, a muscle will not be worked more than once a week. In fact, you may get less results if you form a group of muscles directly more than once a week.
Muscles need rest and recovery time to grow and strengthen. If you are training all the time, they will not receive the necessary rest. It's like trying to get a good tan when you are always spotted wilt.
These are some of the top myths of the page, I found floating around the internet. These myths have a negative impact on your muscle building goals, thus to avoid at all costs
