When I started training, I fell for some myths that held me back. Here are five you should stop believing today:
1οΈβ£ Muscle turns to fat if you stop training β Muscle and fat are completely different tissues. If you stop training, you lose muscle, but it wonβt βturnβ into fat. βπͺ
2οΈβ£ Soreness = a great workout β Feeling sore? That just means your body isnβt used to a movement, not that youβre building more muscle. ποΈββοΈπ₯
3οΈβ£ Morning workouts burn more fat β Fat loss depends on total activity and nutrition, not the time of day you train. ππ½οΈ
4οΈβ£ Stretching before lifting prevents injury β Static stretching before weights can actually weaken your muscles. A dynamic warm-up is way better! πβ‘
5οΈβ£ More protein = more muscle β Your body can only use so much protein. Consistency matters more than overl
oading. πβ
