Here are three of my myths that exist in the fitness industry ➡️ ..
⚠️ You need to lift heavy every session
Common misconception perpetrated by social media is to make the ultimate gains you need to lift heavy every session, that statement is half true. Lifting above 80% of your 1RPM will put a lot of stress on your central nervous system and tissues, repeated stress without adequate rest and periodization will result in the need for a walking stick 👉
⚠️ You need to keep your spine in neutral at all times
This refers to when people train their core and compress the spine with deadlifts/squats , keeping the spine continuously in neutral will promote inefficient movement pattern which is why a lot of experienced lifters run like they have a banana up their backside 🍌
⚠️ You need to back squat, deadlift and bench press for the ultimate gains in strength and hypertrophy.
These are great exercises but not everybody can perform these, because of limitations/injuries, additionally these exercises are risky. 5 out of 10 people who perform deadlifts and back squats will tell you that they've injured themselves while doing it. There are plenty of alternatives that stimulate muscles just as much as the above 3 exercises ✅
