The 3 Big Lies of Muscle Building

!±8± The 3 Big Lies of Muscle Building

There are many people these days (especially men) who want to develop bodies that were once thought impossible. But today it is and yet many people fail to achieve the goal. They put in all this effort and after months of training, are nowhere near where they want to be. Why? Because they've been lied to.

1. Heavy weights with less reps give you more muscle size

The truth is that you should be doing the direct opposite. You must first start with high reps and medium size weights. Once your muscles get the hang of it, you can then push the weight limit and do higher reps at that level. This can get you to the muscle mass that you are looking for. In most cases, doing less reps and heavier weights can lead to a greater concentration of strength. More reps and less weight increases the size which is what we all want, right?

2. You need pills, powders, or expensive supplements

This is partly true, but still a misunderstood lie. People tend to rely on only on the supplement and less on the actual workout. Supplements are good, but you also need to focus on workouts that can get the most out of the pills you are taking. Experts in magazines and trusted resources seem to recommend so many different types of magic pills and supplements, but this is just merely because they are getting paid to do it.

3. Train your big muscles first, then your core

Again, when it comes to the masses, people almost always have it laid out wrong. The thing is, it is usually much better to start with your core and work your way to the main muscles. The core is basically the base or the foundation of the bigger muscles. So in order to have your big muscles perform better, you must strengthen the core. This can be achieved by starting with the core first. Don't spend too much time on the core though. Find a balance between both, but always start with the core first.

Aside from the lies above, there are many more out there that can simply waste your time and lead you to results you were not looking for. When faced with a "hot tip", always investigate it further before you put a considerable amount of time and effort into it. You must especially keep an eye out for those that consider themselves and expert.
