Five myths about training

1. Knees coming out of your fingers when you sit down
Often people break their natural motion pattern just so that their knees don't come out of their toes, and so they make mistakes. Obviously, the predispositions to squatting come mostly from the biomechanics of the body. Almost every athlete in an Olympic gymnastics gymnasium, which consists mainly of wrestling and throwing, has their kneed out of the line of their fingers when they're in full squatting. In 2003, a study was done on the strain on the knee when they squatting in a standard way, or when they try to cross the lines of the fingers, the squatting looks most likely when their knee doesn't cross the line when they come in with their toes.2. A woman who exercises hard will look like a man
Usually, the problem is that a woman has seen a picture of a bodybuilder using doping, and she thinks that's what's going to happen after doing strength training. The amount of muscle mass is largely dependent on the amount of anabolic hormones that a person has, mainly testosterone. This is physiologically impossible. It's total bullshit. No, it's not. Men produce about 10 times more testosterone than women, so if a woman doesn't take the drugs, her muscle mass will never be too big.3. Every pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day
Research shows that the more muscle mass a person has, the more calories he burns in a hard workout. Many people believe this, but science shows it's a little different. Each kilogram of muscle mass increases his or her resting needs per kilocalorie by about 12 20 kcal. So it pays to build muscle mass.4. You can't build muscle mass and burn fat at the same time
You have to belong to one of the following groups: overweight and sedentary people who start training, people over 50 who start exercising, people who are just starting to exercise. And the body fat burner needs a negative calorie balance. If you belong to the group above, there's a possibility that your body will use stored fat as fuel for building muscle mass, but let's just explain this one thing. Unfortunately, it doesn't have to work that way.5. You're building muscle mass, you need to do a range of 8 to 12 repetitions
Mechanical stress is the driving force behind muscle growth, and muscle damage and metabolic stress are just its physiological effects. It's worth noting that changing the number of rounds, the repetition number, and the weight used in training positively affects the increase in muscle mass and strength. So it's important to arrange our training mesocycles in such a way that for example, for a year, they make room for heavy lifting and lighter accumulation.
