Muscle Building Myths 🤯
If you believe in these muscle building myths, you haven’t done enough research. These are a lot of common myths in bodybuilding that never seem to go away, so here’s a reminder on the things that you should & shouldn’t be worried about when it comes to building muscle👍🏼
The Myth ➡️ Explanation
1️⃣ Muscles are broken down in the gym & built back bigger ➡️ Mechanical tension is the only known driver of hypertrophy (building muscle), muscle damage doesn’t directly cause muscle gain + excessive muscle damage will actually hinder & delay your ability to build muscle
2️⃣ A better mind-muscle connection will build MORE MUSCLE ➡️ There’s 0 evidence that this is true because the sensation of an exercise isn’t important, as long as you’re using ideal technique
3️⃣ You should use different rep ranges when you’re bulking vs dieting ➡️ The process of building muscle is the same regardless of your calorie intake, so why would you change your volume & approach? There’s no need to utilize different rep ranges
4️⃣ There’s no such thing as ‘overtraining,’ only under-recovering (under eating & under sleeping) ➡️ Overtraining is absolutely real…and even if you’re sleeping more & eating more protein, that won’t guarantee faster recovery after super taxing workouts filled with high volume training. Once you reach that stimulus threshold that a muscle needs to adapt, as long as you’re getting enough protein & sleeping around 7-9 hours, you will be building muscle
5️⃣ Smaller muscle groups should be trained more frequently because they recover faster ➡️ You only need to train a muscle 1-2x per week & if you wanna be more specific then retraining a muscle every 4-5 days will work too. The idea that smaller muscle groups can tolerate more volume isn’t true…you build small muscles the same way you build larger muscles (mechanical tension)
