Let’s bust a few myths I hear all the time:
Lifting makes you bulky. Not unless you’re really trying—and eating for it. Lifting helps you get lean, strong, and defined.
You need to sweat to have a good workout. Nope. Sweat = heat, not necessarily effort or fat loss.
Carbs are bad. False. Carbs fuel your workouts and your brain.
More is always better. Overtraining leads to burnout. Recovery is essential.
You need to feel sore to progress. Not true. Soreness means you’re adapting, not necessarily improving.
Don’t let myths guide your training. Let science—and experience—lead the way.
