Dispelling Myths about Resistance Training
By: Randall Gartman

Myth 1: (Women especially) I will get big and bulky if I lift weights; I think all those veins look ugly.

Truth 1: Fitness and bodybuilding books have misled you, pure and simple. You will not get all “Veiny” lifting weights; those veins are only noticeable when your body fat is really low. In order for women to get bulky, a woman must have either an enormous amount of testosterone flowing through her body or she must be pharmaceutically enhanced. Most women don’t have a lot of testosterone flowing through their bodies and all those women you see in bodybuilding books are usually taking some form of drug. Men, usually want to look muscular but they aren't interested in looking all “veiny” and big like Arnold Schwartznegger. Here again, in order for you to look like as bulky as Arnold, you will need to get fit through modern chemistry and your body fat will need to be around 3%. If you are a natural bodybuilder, you can get pretty big but you probably won’t look like Arnold.

Myth 2: All I want to do is tone up my muscles and not get any bigger. I just want to work my thighs and belly to tone them up and get the fat off.

Truth 2: I have highlighted the word Tone because you cannot Tone a muscle. Tone actually describes a color. Your muscle can either atrophy (shrink) or Hypertrophy (get bigger); that is all a muscle can do. If a muscle fiber is called to work from the brain, it can’t work at 50%. The brain tells the muscle fiber to work at 100% so if you work at 50% of your capacity not all of your muscle fibers are working. However, the muscle fibers that are working are going all out. This “all are none” principle is crucial because it helps you to understand that your body’s body fat cannot be spot reduced by working the specific muscle but you can make a body part bigger. Getting rid of fat requires a proper combination of exercise and good food management because when your body loses fat, it loses fat everywhere.

Myth 3: I just want to turn this fat into muscle

Truth 3: You cannot turn fat into muscle!!! You can only burn calories that reduce fat storage cells through food management and exercise or you can develop muscles through progressive resistance and exercise. Muscle and fat have two entirely different molecular structures within the body so the only thing you could say is you want to get rid of the fat and build some muscle.

I have worked with people that initially think they don’t want to build any muscle and they only want to lose weight. The only problem with that concept is, their muscle helps keep the weight off. I have also worked with people that have built muscle underneath their fat so they think they are just getting fatter because they are getting bigger and their weight scale registers higher poundage. First of all, muscle weighs more than fat so the scale is not the best source for indicating results. Also, once the person’s metabolism kicks in, the fat will disappear with the help of this new muscle. The only true way to measure a person’s results is by testing their body fat. Usually when I have a person that is very overweight, they have a tendency to quit a resistance program because they think they are getting bulky. The only thing that is truly happening is the body is building muscle underneath the fat. Let’s take a look at real scenario.

Let’s say a male person is 6”, weighs 298 lbs and has a body fat % of 52%. That means that over half the person’s body weight consists of fat. Suppose that person only lost body fat without building any muscle. This person would be a sickly looking bean-pole at 148 lbs. Now, let’s take that same person and add 22 lbs of muscle and give them a body fat percentage of 10%. They would roughly weigh about 188 lbs. Do you know what kind of person you would be looking at? You would be looking at the body of a PERFECT male model. You wouldn’t be looking at a bulky professional bodybuilder would you? Now that we have dispelled a few myths about building muscle, your questions should be, how much muscle do you want to build or how much fat do you want to lose?

  Every week I will recommend a new resource that I think will help you attain your dreams of being healthy and fit. I don't recommend these things lightly simply trying to make a buck. Very few authors will recommend other reading material, in fear that it will some how interfere with their own sales. Personally, if I think someone has authored a book or software program that is truthful, then I believe you should know about it. Here are some products that I think will come in handy.
 

 

 

This is really an awesome book! I wish I would have wrote it but the truth is, Tom Venuto put this program together and it really works. I would not recommend this book if it wasn't good and true so I suggest you try it out today. This product has an incredible guarantee so there is no risk and at 39.00, you can't beat the price.
