In your quest for a bigger, more ripped body, you've probably bought into some very detrimental philosophies that are keeping you from reaching your goal.
Here's a small sampling of the things to remove from your ideas about training.
Myth #1 "To get big, I must lift small" Your muscles are really not that smart.
They are either responding to a stimulus or not.
If you want to get bigger you must consistently push yourself to a higher level of performance.
That means increasing the weight you are lifting by 5% every two weeks.
Light weights do not build muscle, they burn calories.
Calories you have so desperately worked at consuming.
Go for the heavy weights to become the heavy weight.
Myth #2 "Train every day!" If you are in the gym everyday, when does your body recover? Never forget that you get stronger (and therefore bigger) when you are at rest.
The workout is the catalyst for your body to begin the building process.
If you are constantly beginning the building process, your body does not have time to repair, renew and restore.
Spend 3-4 days a week doing 3-5 sets of your best exercises instead of 7 days of overloading each muscle group.
Myth #3 "Muscle confusion is the only way to build!" Again I say, your muscles are not smart.
Movement is what it takes to create action in them.
Contract and release is what causes a response.
They are not impressed by you choosing one exercise over another.
Nor are they responsive to trickery.
Consistent work is the key to solid growth.
Stick with a program and don't try to "change it up" in order to fool your body into response.
