Gym Fads
- TRAINING TOO LONG IS OVERKILL
- RESULTS TAKE TIME
- HARDCORE TRAINING WITH NO MEAL PLAN = NO RESULTS
- EATING SMALL MEALS EVERY 3 HOURS IS NOT REQUIRED TO GET LEAN
- BRO-SPLITS ARE NOT THE BEST OR ONLY WAY TO BUILD MUSCLE
- But the reality is that your muscles are ready to go again after just 36 - 48 hours and if you want to maximize your muscle growth you can absolutely hit every bodypart twice a week.
- You Don't Need Hours Of Cardio To Get Abs Or Stay Lean
- I WISH I UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORTANCE OF COMPOUND MOVEMENTS
- NOT TRAINING WITH FULL RANGE OF MOTION IS A WASTE OF TIME
- DELOAD WEEKS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. - cut the load in half
- BIGGER MUSCLES DON'T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN MORE STRENGTH
- TO BUILD MUSCLE & STRENGTH YOU NEED PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD & TO SWITCH UP YOUR WORKOUTS
