                 Myths and Facts About    “MUSCLE BUILDING” and “Fat loss”

1.   You need to do lots of crunches to get rid of belly fat or You can get rid of belly fat by doing crunches-:

This is the most common myth around especially for all those who are trying to lose fat. Moreover, most of the trainers in the gym also stress doing ab crunches, which is the biggest mistake. There is no way you can target fat from a spot in your body e.g. belly, things, arms, etc. The fact is that you need to have a proper diet and training program to get rid of body fat.

2.   Low Reps Are For Size & High Reps Are For Cutting-:

 No exercise routine can help you to bulk up or have to cut your muscles; rather it’s the diet that makes the difference. When you are in the cutting phase you need to cut down your calories to lower overall body fat which in turn helps to show more cutting in muscle groups.

 

3.  Your muscles will turn to fat the soon as you stop working out:

It’s the biggest myth and is followed by many of those who have this as an excuse for not working out. No phenomenon converts muscles into fat, once you stop exercising. It’s probably the diet that people tend to follow even when they stop working out which causes accumulating fat.

 

4.  Bodybuilders are not strong-:

I am sure it requires lots of strength to do a 100 kg bench press and Squats. I don’t think, it requires more details to prove it as a myth.

 

5.  The more you work out, the more you'll grow-:

You should follow a balanced training routine and diet to grow. More workouts can result in overtraining and hence loss of muscle rather than growing it up.

                                   

 

6 . The best training programs for pro bodybuilders are best for everyone

Most of people tend to see the exercises and schedules of a pro bodybuilder on the internet and try to follow them to look like them. The fact is the same routine doesn’t work for everybody. You need to have a personalized training program to get the best results as per your body type and daily routine.

 

7.    Gain muscle and lose fat at the same time-:

Gaining muscle depends on your daily calorie intake. Similarly to lose fat you need to have a lower calorie intake than your body actually requires. Like you cannot have more and fewer calories at the same time, similarly you cannot gain and lose at the same time. They should be to gain muscle with minimum fat during the gaining phase.

 

8. The more you sweat during exercise, the more fat you lose-:

Sweating is no criterion for a good workout. Even if you are not sweating like a water tap, still you might have had a nice workout session.

 

10. Building muscles reduces flexibility-:                                                                                       

The fact is that if you strength train without moving your joints through their full range of motion, might lose flexibility. But strength training can actually improve flexibility if you move your joints fully flexible.

                 I Eat A Good Diet, I Don't Need Supplements

Truth – A well-balanced diet is a good start, but it does not mean that you are meeting all of your body’s nutritional needs. Nutrient needs can change and fluctuate because of age, health, stress, and intense training.
