Demystifying A Few Bodybuilder Myths…
Reach Your Peak in Health Fitness
Why the mask and cloak?
The secret to achieving bodybuilding success is a combination of factors.
In order to achieve results in bodybuilding, you need to become focused on being happy, active and fit.
You need solid goals with a formula for bodybuilding success.
Let me ask you a simple question: Do you know exactly how to build muscle with fitness training?
Is muscle gained during…or after training sessions?
Allow me to show you why achieving bodybuilding success has a different meaning for each and every person.
Based on 20+ years of personal fitness training and bodybuilding experience this is the “foundational” knowledge gained from real world results.
You want to know how to build an amazing body, right?
Yes! Without hype, no BS, filler or gimmicks?
Listen, it’s also helped me and my personal clients gain strength and insights with a clear understanding they need to succeed and achieve their goals.
Make no mistake, the mental aspect of any program is just as important as the training and nutrition.
If you have a strong mindset, no fear attitude and mental drive with emotional desire to workout smart…
Resist the tempatation to not take drugs or even a lot of supplements…
You see, bodybuilding success has a basic formula.
If every part of the success formula is followed, you get maximum results.
Fitness training is one part and one for nutrition and one for correct rest and recovery, but there is no truth in one generic or one size fits all solution.
Bodybuilding is what you can achieve in your own program with the right mental attitude and determination to achieve success.
Bodybuilding and fitness training is what you’ll use in combination with a planned nutrition program designed for lean muscle gains and fat loss.
You must also allow for plenty of rest and recovery.
You, (I do mean you) are unique. Bodybuilding is about using your head (common sense) over a period of time to develop a head-turning physique.
You simply do the basics. Test and continually tweak your approach. You refine your results by nutrition and training progressively step-by-step.
When it comes to health and fitness or building muscle you want facts.
Marketing using a lot of myths that claim to be factual.
The big problem is myths are usually based on “selling” you on a push button made easy solution…so, is that you want to hear?
The magic bullet solution consists of 20% truth and 80% lies…
Using truth and lies mixed together makes it easy to “fool” you on the dream body without work.
It’s very simple to maniplulate and difficult for you to dispute.
Myths can hold you back and keep you from moving forward.
Let’s expose five of the biggest myths and uncover the truth you must know to build muscle.
Myth #1: Latest Supplement is the Key to Building Muscle
There are very few specialized supplements that can help.
The reality is 98% of your muscle gains will come from basics.
When you see terms like:
- Super engineered
- Top secret
- Mega anabolic
- Cryogenically modified
- Devastatingly powerful
- Pharmacologically engineered
- Nutrient signaling
- And much more fillers…
It simply means the marketing hype is “selling” you on a easy to swallow push button supplement.
Magazines and supplement companies know their demographics inside out.
They know you and how to push your buttons.
They’ll cleverly devise a way to convince you that you’ll never achieve your bodybuilding goals unless you use their product.
Yes! They’ve got you cornered and the cash to splash on effectively keeping you in their loop… marketing to you over and over again.
Fact: You’ll never know exactly which supplements work and which ones are hype!
Myth #2: Just follow the “No Brainer” Professional Bodybuilding Workouts Seen In Most Magazines.
If you think you’ll make quicker gains lifting 3 days a week, then it makes gains even more sweeter by training…5 or even 7 days a week, right?
Why not add even more reps with dozens more sets and stuff your face until you’re sick of the sight of food?
Wrong…wrong…wrong!
You obviously want to head down the path to burn out, injury or both.
Use plenty of steroids and for good measure sign-up to a genetic freak show!
Can you gain muscle naturally, training intensely 6 to 7 times a week?
If you’re just starting out…you maybe able to see gains quickly.
Fact: This is beyond the recuperative abilities of the average person.
If you want to keep training like a “steroid madman” you will find you cannot sustain results.
Following a professional’s workout regime will run you into the ground in no time without really helping you gain one single pound of muscle.
Fact: You’ll end up stressed out, over trained, exhausted and discouraged.
Why less is more…
More is not better when it comes to building muscle.
In fact, doing too much training is counterproductive.
Over training will result in more fatigue, less strength and less muscle.
How you train to gain muscle and not hit plateaus actually is a result of knowing your body and nutritional needs.
Muscle is built in the recover stage and only with good nutrition and more crucial is good quality sleep…only then will you benefit from your training.
Myth #3: Aerobics is Superior to Weight Training for Losing Fat
Fact: Your diet will determine whether you’re lean and muscular vs. fat and muscular (i.e., with a lot of muscle underneath a layer of fat).
You can believe the hype by sitting on a stationary bike for hours is the best exercise for burning body fat.
Strength training is the only exercise that can help you add lean body mass.
Bottom line: More mass equals higher metabolism which means more of your body fat is being used for energy to fuel your body…even at rest.
Body resistance exercises and/or lifting weights with the right nutrition will do more for your physique and lean muscle than countless hours of cardio.
Myth #4: You Need To Eat 10,000 Calories with 7 Meals a Day to Build Muscle.
If you struggle or can’t gain muscle you need to eat 7 times a day shoveling in thousands of extra calories…right?
In reality, it is important to know the total calories consumed (calories are units of energy) which plays a very important role in building lean muscle.
Fact: Nutrition consists of the right balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat for your specific body-type.
Eating uncontrolled amounts of calories (OK if you’re a 16 year old skinny kid) will make you pile most of the pounds around your waist line…fast!
Remember, as your body matures…the metabolism also slows down.
You need to know how not to stuff your face.
Fact: You eat the right food at the right times and in the right amounts for your body type as to trigger your body’s natural anabolic hormones.
This is the real secret to kick-start and stimulate muscle growth.
Myth #5: Doing The Same Workouts Is the Most Effective Way To Train.
Fact: Yes! It’s true you want to always record your results to make it easier to determine your progress.
For example: How many reps you did, how much time per set and how much resistance and/or weight you lifted etc…
It’s vital you measure your success because the secret to muscle gains is in the cycling of your workouts.
Doing the same workout day after day at the same intensity will only serve to put you on a permanent muscle building plateau.
Fact: You need to know exactly how to cycle your muscle building workout for the greatest gains in lean body mass.
