The other day a member shared with me an Instagram post about Arnold Schwarzenegger, how he modified his dumbbell curls to get a greater pump and more biceps mass by adding more weight on one side of the dumbbell.
It got me thinking about how much muddy fitness information is out there. As one coach says, following these fads is like mowing your lawn when your house is on fire.
Arnold developed his biceps for a living. If you’re training with us at ELEVATE, you’re likely doing something else for a living, and not paying your bills with massive biceps.
There’s so much fitness misinformation flooding social media. It’s endless, tiring and could take up a year’s worth of doom scrolling.
Most of the people posting are self-proclaimed experts who train no one in person, or they’re genetic freaks with an expensive supplements regimen who have no clue how to guide anyone naturally.
You know you need to do something, but figuring out where to begin in a sea of conflicting, and frankly, ridiculous information is a huge obstacle.
This confusion leads to inaction, which in turn leaves you feeling stuck and frustrated.
