Men's Body Myths

12.11.2011

 

The following list makes up the most common myths men have about their bodies, and how they should be training.

  • No weight is too heavy
  • Having a spotter is good for lifting (far too) heavy weights
  • The louder you grunt when lifting weights the harder you are working
  • You should train through pain or injuries
  • You don't need to warm-up before your training 
  • Just train one part of your body, the part that shows off your physique best
  • You need to use an ab belt to provide support for your body when lifting really heavy weights
  • Protein shakes (alone) will increase your muscle size
  • Creatine supplements are necessary if you are taking your training seriously
  • The 'cut and paste' approach to fitness works. This refers to cutting out a fitness program from Men's Health magazine and following it religiously
  • You don't need to look after your body, you can get off with being 'well-rounded'
  • Winning is more important than the taking part
  • Yoga and pilates are too easy options
  • Stretching is just for women

Which of these points do you believe?

Guess what, they are all misguided
