Beginners Workout Mythbusters – part 1
With so much information on both workout diets and workouts themselves it is hard to really find out who is telling the truth and who is just trying to sell you the next "magic pill" supplement. A good rule of thumb is to not believe anything that the say, but I am going a bit more specific and busting some of the beginners workout myths for you
Beginners Workout Myth no.1
"In order to do full workout for my chest, I need to do all different kinds of bench presses, inclined, declined, different grips, etc."
FALSE
In order to fully work on your chest you need only 1 exercise. And it requires no equipment. Pushups! Best of all, you can do them anytime and anywhere. If you feel you need more weight? Get an old backpack, fill it with sand/weights and try again. Getting bored of the standard pushup? Try some variations like "dive bomber upshup" or "spider pushups" (on every down movement you pull your knee up to the side of the body)
Beginners Workout Myth no.2
"If I will work out all the time, train every day, I will soon have big muscles and ripped body."
FALSE
Working out all the time and not allowing your body to rest is one of the worse thing you can do. You are actually damaging your body, causing immense amounts of stress and preventing yourself from progressing. Make sure you rest at least 1-2 days between big workouts. What will really get you big muscles is heavy lifting. Want to be big? Lift heavy, eat and rest. There is no other way.
That's it for the first time, more coming soon
Enjoy
