There are six fitness truths that 95% of people get dead wrong. And listen. They're quietly sabotaging your results. We're going to talk about them right now. Let's get to it. Dead wrong. So these are the top six fitness truths, or should I say myths, right? We're going to talk about what the truth is, but these are the myths that people still believe. that really messes them up. And I'll start with the first one, which is you don't need to train five or six days a week to build muscle or get jacked or get strong. Not only do you not need to do that, but most people doing that would get worse results. Than if they strength trained maybe three days a week or two days a week.
Yeah. So this is still a common thought, I guess. It's just the more is better. And I mean, we're always talking about, you know, like overtraining is one of those things. And two, we kind of have a little bit of a bias because of the type of person that's listening to the podcast already. That's an avid lifter. Sure. So, you know, but like the common sense, like I've talked to a few of my friends even still, and they think that six days a week is going to get you to move the needle the most.
It's the confusion around what you can tolerate versus what is ideal. And I always talk about how, why this is so difficult is because it's really the only thing I can think of that we deal with that more doesn't serve us. You know, the more you study for a test, the more you work hard at your job, the more you push your education, it rewards us for doing more. And unfortunately, when it comes to body composition change, losing body fat, building muscle, more is not. There's a right dose. There's an optimal dose. There's a less optimal dose. And then there's a bad dose. And it's a spectrum. And unfortunately, more people tend to go at the ends of the spectrum. They either do nothing. Right. And then they decide to do something and they do everything they can tolerate or handle thinking that that's going to get them to their goal faster.
