Gym Fads

  1. TRAINING TOO LONG IS OVERKILL
  2. RESULTS TAKE TIME
  3. HARDCORE TRAINING WITH NO MEAL PLAN = NO RESULTS
  4. EATING SMALL MEALS EVERY 3 HOURS IS NOT REQUIRED TO GET LEAN
  5. 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.
  1. You Don't Need Hours Of Cardio To Get Abs Or Stay Lean
  2. I WISH I UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORTANCE OF COMPOUND MOVEMENTS
  3. NOT TRAINING WITH FULL RANGE OF MOTION IS A WASTE OF TIME
  4. DELOAD WEEKS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. - cut the load in half
  5. BIGGER MUSCLES DON'T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN MORE STRENGTH
  6. TO BUILD MUSCLE & STRENGTH YOU NEED PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD & TO SWITCH UP YOUR WORKOUTS
