Another Muscle Building Myth is that people think if they lift heavy, they will get much better results than lifting the lighter weight. This is good if you use both the strategies which means sometime you lift heavy weight and sometime lighter weights but if you are stick with just lifting heavy weights all the times, this will not be good for you as your body really needs proper time for rest which enables it to repair damaged tissues. But if you don’t let it rest and keep lifting heavy weight every time you go to perform your workouts, you will not get improvement in your muscle mass. Another important thing to remember is that changing of your training plan will always help you get bigger muscles.

Myth # 3: Don’t Change Your Strategy and Keep Doing What You are Doing

Researches show that in the beginning every new workout helps the body increase muscle size and it is really effective to keep changing the exercises.

Muscle building depends upon lots of fact and figures such as your genetics, hormones, nutrition, exercise and diet plans. You really need to wait to see the results.

Myth # 5: Once You Give Up Weight Lifting, You Will Become Fat

This is one of the most common muscle building myths that once you have started training for building muscles, you cannot quit or you will soon become a fat man. But the fact is that fat & Muscles are two different groups of body tissues and muscle cannot be converted into fat.
