CPT and #GainfulFitPro @holtfiit breaks down some common #WeightLifting #Misconceptions and why they aren’t necessarily true 🏋️ 1️⃣The bigger you lift, the bigger the gain: Overtraining your muscles and putting too much weight too quickly can actually decrease muscle size & growth. 2️⃣Lifting heavy will make you bulky: ‘Bulky’ appearances has more to do with diet and lifestyle then how much weight you train in the gym. Lifting is a great way to decrease body fat. 3️⃣You can target fat in a specific area: The muscle you train doesn’t correlate to where you’ll lose body fat. The fat broken down in the body can come from anywhere. 4️⃣You need to train until failure every workout: Training to failure can do more harm than good, and actually increases the chances of muscle damage or fatigue.
