5 common strength training mistakes–На февруари 14,2022

Misunderstanding 1: Focus on fat loss

Да, that’s right, the old idea that weight loss can be limited to specific parts of the body is reinforced every summer by Meimei magazines.

You want beautiful! In fact, while doing hundreds of crunches a day does build a strong abs, doing crunches won’t give you a six-pack if you have fat on your stomach. If you want to reduce the fat in that part alone, you can’t do it with sit-ups.

Losing weight can only be carried out in all parts of the body at the same time, and the calories burned must be greater than the calories taken in. Practically speaking, to lose belly fat (as well as other areas), working your thighs or shoulders can do the same (or more) than crunches because these are larger muscle groups. Only when you get rid of enough fat from your body can you show your abdominal muscles. Simply exercising strong abdominal muscles will only push the belly fat out.

Misunderstanding 2: Muscle turns into fat?

The functions of fat cells and muscle cells are completely different and unrelated, and there is absolutely no way to go from one to the other. If someone is “strong” and muscular, but later becomes “soft” and overweight, it’s because caloric output no longer exceeds caloric intake. This is often the consequence of a slowed metabolism caused by muscle loss. Muscle loss is caused by a lack of necessary stimulation. Muscle doesn’t magically turn into fat, it’s just a loss of muscle mass and an increase in body fat.

Misunderstanding 3: Do muscle strength training, the muscles will grow too large

It’s the same all over the world, especially when the ladies say, “I don’t want to get too strong.” Some people have seen strength training in its first effect before, and they shy away, fearing they’ll turn into Wonder Woman too. Be aware that some professional bodybuilders use steroids and other illegal drugs. The human body wouldn’t have grown that much muscle without a strong drug, and neither would you. During the first few weeks of strength training, it is common to feel stronger, mainly due to increased blood circulation in the muscles. The sudden increase in muscle strength is also mostly due to the nerves adapting to the new movement, rather than the increase in muscle mass.

Misunderstanding 4: Women should train differently than men

There is a common misconception that women get stronger because of strength training. No, unless you start taking medicines and injections.

There is no need to exercise in different ways based on gender. Both sexes gain and lose muscle and fat in the same way. Да, men and women often have different goals. Обаче, these goals can be achieved with the same set of exercises.

Most women don’t want to develop spectacular chest muscles and arms, but want to practice their whole body to be firm, especially the thighs and buttocks, which are probably the most difficult for women to maintain as they age. When women are exercising, they often leave their arms idle. The muscles of men and women are exactly the same, the only difference is their size. Many women have been reluctant to believe that if they worked their upper body as hard as their lower body, they would have flatter abs and firmer buttocks because doing so would increase your overall lean muscle mass. Again, the most effective way to burn fat and calories is to build muscle and maintain it, and that’s enough.

Conversely, men are taught to specialize in bench presses, high pull pulleys, squat racks, and other fitness props, but this is not as functionally or physically appealing as I have in this book. The whole set of freehand weight training exercises proposed in the book.

Misunderstanding 5: The more the better

Some people intuitively think that the more you practice, the bigger your muscles will be; the longer you spend on fitness, the better the effect. Since muscle is the most effective fat-burning tool we have, training should not affect muscle growth due to insufficient nutrition or overtraining. Remember, muscles grow at rest. Overtraining and undernutrition are the most common deficiencies, common mistakes made by beginners and veterans alike.
