Forget all you've been told about your workouts and bodyweight!
Myth #26
It takes six to eight weeks of challenging training to boost muscle size.
It's the question everybody wants to understand if they start a weight-training plan: How long until I get large? But University of Oklahoma scientists determined to get serious and use CT scanners to precisely measure progress after each week of an eight-week training program. And what do you understand -- they saw immediate increases in muscle cross sectional area, and by the third week the subjects' muscles were already 5% larger. After eight weeks, they were up almost 10%.
What you could do: Your progress will be dependent on what your starting point is and what your goals are, but the great news is the fact that you can begin getting larger in weeks, not months.
Myth #43
In the event you're overweight, you're unhealthy.
Muscular guys have always known that body mass index isn't the best measure of health. Fat has ever seemed less ambiguous; too much is bad. But lately, physicians have been reassessing the biggest risk factors for common killers like cardiovascular disease. It seems which you're half as likely to die being overweight but aerobically fit compared to being a slender couch potato with a terrific metabolism.
What you can do: For men taking extra weight, it means that work out success shouldn't be defined only by just what the scale says; if you're improving your fitness, you're getting fitter, so keep at it. And for guys who look good without having to work for it, it's a wake-up call: your six-pack is meaningless (healthwise, in any case) if you can't scale a flight of stairs without becoming puffed.
