The Biggest Muscle Building Myths

The fitness industry is rife with misinformation.

Myth #1: Building muscle is impossible with intermittent fasting. False! Intermittent fasting can effectively support muscle growth as long as you consume adequate protein throughout the day. Aim for around 0.7 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight.

Myth #2: Muscle growth relies solely on heavy weights. Another falsehood! The key determinant for muscle growth is mechanical tension. Your body does not differentiate between heavy and light weights but responds to the level of mechanical tension applied.

Achieving mechanical tension is possible with both lighter and heavier weights. With heavier weights, fewer reps may be required, while lighter weights might demand more reps to generate the desired tension.

The important takeaway is that muscle growth can be achieved through various training approaches, irrespective of the weight load.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

What about mtor... Is it possible maintaining optimal muscle and mtor with IF and anti aging

I worked out in two different periods in my life. One with IF where I would only IF on days I weight lifted - I would weight lift fasted and break the fast on beef and eggs when I was done. I got a lot of muscle during that period. In under a year I was pushing 450 on my main compound lifts of dl and squats was reaching 400. ohp was 230-240. Pretty good for under a year of weight lifting! My second time is honestly stunted lol. worked out longer but less results. did not use IF in anything. Guess ill just go back to what works for me. IF, then do some high intensity stuff, eat beef and eggs

But is it unhealthy to consume an over abundance of protein?

Please make a video about #2. That was totally new to me. Big weights destroy my energy levels.

Gravity transformation has a great video on light vs heavy weight training—they cite evidence that says that there IS a different effect between the two, and doing both apparently builds more muscle and/or strength than either alone

3rd myth, counting calories as if you can gain muscles with more calories is even more bs.

Just another comment and a Like for the algo.

Stay shredded brahs (and brahettes), we're all gonna make it. 

Peace.

Then why do the biggest guys use ridiculous weight? Like nautilus machines.

Can you build muscle with fasting for 3 days straight?

[theexperimentasd]

I think fasting doesnt prevent muscle gain but only slows it down so we still build muscles but at a slower rate since muscles can recover with protein for only few hours a day .
