When I started training, I fell for some myths that held me back. Here are five you should stop believing today:
1️⃣ Muscle turns to fat if you stop training – Muscle and fat are completely different tissues. If you stop training, you lose muscle, but it won’t “turn” into fat. ❌💪
2️⃣ Soreness = a great workout – Feeling sore? That just means your body isn’t used to a movement, not that you’re building more muscle. 🏋️♂️🔥
3️⃣ Morning workouts burn more fat – Fat loss depends on total activity and nutrition, not the time of day you train. 🕒🍽️
4️⃣ Stretching before lifting prevents injury – Static stretching before weights can actually weaken your muscles. A dynamic warm-up is way better! 🚀⚡
5️⃣ More protein = more muscle – Your body can only use so much protein. Consistency matters more than overl
oading. 🍗✅
