Have you ever felt confused about the advice you’ve been given to build muscle? Are you sick of hearing multiple answers for what you know is a simple question?

Well now you can leave all the bro science behind you and get ready to uncover the 7 Biggest Muscle Building Myths You Thought Were True.

Myth #1: You can gain a pound of muscle in a week.

This is definitely not the case. At most, you could achieve an increase of about a pound every two weeks. That too will depend on your diet even more than your exercise habits.

Myth #2: Supplements will maximize muscle growth

I am sorry to inform you that supplements will not boost your muscle growth like proper diet and training techniques. Those companies spend millions of dollars trying to make you believe that. It’s not your fault.

Myth #3: You can build muscle by eating the same amount of food

This may be the main thing holding you back. Most people associate lifting weights with building muscle. But, you can lift weights and not build any muscle if you don’t provide your body with the calories to repair torn muscle tissue.

Myth #4: More exercise equals more muscle.

This is false for several reasons. But the main reason is that if you train six days a week, you’re not giving your body enough time to recover and build that muscle.

Myth #5: The more protein you eat, the more muscle you will build

Your body can only synthesize so much protein to build muscle. By consuming too much protein, you are robbing your body of the other essential nutrients it needs to repair your torn muscles.

Myth #6: There is only one best program

In reality, every quality program has the ability to get you where you want to be. It’s more about finding the right program for you. The one that fits your schedule and gives you great results. Look for personalized approaches.

Myth #7: If women lift too much weight, they will get bulky

Women do not produce enough testosterone and other potent factors in the same way that men do. Unless the woman in question is taking steroids or hormones, they just won’t get big or bulky.

I hope this has cleared up much of the confusion surrounding natural muscle building. We broke down the top 7 myths and now we can move forward with lighting and set more realistic goals.
