TAKE HIGH CALORIES TO GROW BIG AT FASTER RATE
We observe many myths in our society, about actions, reactions. Some myths teach us while some simply hinder us from moving forward and adversely affecting ourselves and Bodybuilding is not an exception and specially to the gym beginners.
Here, you will find Top Myths about Body Building which nothing but cause hindrance
TAKE HIGH CALORIES TO GROW BIG AT FASTER RATE
Of course it's true, if you eat big you will get big. But if you keep on taking high calories from the food sources having bad glycemic index then soon your belly fat will get thumps up and you will be enroll yourself in the list of fatty persons. So friends, be careful about your nutrition source. They must contain high protein than the rest. Unfortunately, studies shows that, in most people, about 65% of the new tissue gains are brought by high calorie diets that consist of fat. Of the remaining 35%, approximately 15% consists of increased intra cellular fluid volume, leaving a very modest percentage attributable to increased lean mass.
MORE WORKOUT, MORE GROWTH
This is the biggest myth of the century which mostly troubles the beginners.Our body has a mechanism of breakdown of our muscle tissues during our resistance training. But friends, after a stipulated time period ( which mostly is between 45 to 60 minutes), our body glands release hormones which leads to shrinkage of our muscles, already pumped. Thus the end result is zero growth and perhaps even losses. Working out every day if you are truly using a proper amount of intensity, will lead to gross over training.
LOW FAT SOURCES NEVER THE REASON OF BULGING BELLY
Friends, one simple rule to understand, all our body basic requirements like carbs, protein or unsaturated fat, if taken in high doses, without burning it for energy requirement, will simply convert into undissolved body fat which will ensure to first target you belly. If your calories intake exceed your energy requirements, you will gradually get fatter and fatter. Yes, it's true, that taking a diet rich in fat will surely pack on the pounds quicker for a variety of reasons, the most significant being that a gram of fat has 7 to 9 calories as opposed to the 4 calorie/gram that carbohydrates and proteins carry.
BIG MUSCLES & STRENGTH, THE TWO DIFFERENT WAYS
Can you tell me who has the biggest muscles and also the lifts the maximum weights in your gym? Surely, you will observe the difference. Sometimes they are the same, but 99% are different which shows that you have to lift heavy and perform your exercise in a good form. Exceptions may exist for genes, short-long limbs etc. If the tension applied applied to muscle fibers are light, the maximum growth will not occur.
JUST COPY PRO'S WORKOUT ROUTINE
Our training depends upon many factors, for example our body type, nutrition, years of practice and many others. Many Pro's spend hours and hours doing innumerable sets, so many that it would surpass the average person's recuperative abilities. If the average man follows the routines of an average Pro Body Builders they would in effect start to whittle down what muscle mass they did have or at best make only a tiny bit of progress after a couple of years.
TAKE MINIMUM REST BETWEEN THE SETS
Rest between the sets also depends on our body type, workout practices etc. If you are aiming to reduce the body fat, (endomorphs) then you have to decrease your rest period between the sets and if you are ectomorphs then you have to take a break of 60 to 90 seconds after every set. In order to build muscle, you need to allow enough time for the muscle to recuperate fully,
(that means, let the lactic acid build up your muscle dissipate and ATP levels build back up). In order to make muscles grow, you have to lift the heaviest weights possible, thereby allowing the maximum number of muscle fibers to be used.
DUMB BELLS FOR BIG MUSCLES, AEROBICS FOR CUTS
Yes, may be true for endomorphs as they target to reduce their body fat and aerobics can help them to get back in shape. But the fact is that weight training is the best way to lose your body fat and cuts you up.
Aerobics is generally meant to improve cardio efficiency, but if you do it for long, you will burn up calories and in the long run drop the fat. However, weight lifting can do the same thing, only better. Studies have shown that the body burns far more efficiently if exercise is performed at moderate pace for periods longer than 20 minutes, ( it generally takes that long for the glucose in the blood stream to be 'burned up', causing the body to dip into glycogen reserves for its energy). Once the glycogen reserves are used up, the body must metabolize the fatty acids for energy. That is how your body lose fat.
MORE REPS, MORE HARDNESS, MORE CUTTINGS
Simply a big myth, high repetitions may be effective for fat reduction and cuttings but it does not go beyond that to increase muscle hardness. Instead heavy weights provide strength hardness and cuttings with great results.
MUSCLES CONVERT INTO FAT
Muscle converting into Fat, a big myth, born and nourished in countryside. Have you ever seen a diamond changing into coal? Muscle and Fat are two unique things. Muscle is made up of individual cells, living , breathing cells that undergo all kinds of complex metabolic process. Fat cells are simply storage packets of lipids. If the inactivity is facilitated by preventing yourself from gym training, the muscles will shrink faster than the surrounding skin and temporary condition of loose skin might be experienced but that too will remedy itself with time.
