Preface

 

Foreword

 

 

BODYBUILDING TRAINING: FOR ALL?

 

TO BETTER UNDERSTAND TRAINING FOR ALL Myths and Realities

Bodybuilding harms the growth of young people

Bodybuilding in young people: far from being a priority

No weight training for Sophie, she doesn't want big muscles Too much weight training = small breasts

 

With age, cardio is more beneficial for health than "weight training" It's so easy to progress for a beginner

 

Don't waste your time with weight training. A runner must run!

 

 

STRENGTH TRAINING: THE EXERCISES

 

TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE EXERCISES Myths and Realities

I'm not strong enough to do chin-ups Chin-ups: impossible for girls!

The squat: the best exercise for the legs

The bench press: the best exercise for the upper body

The deadlift: the best exercise to become as strong as an ox

Abs of steel for a concrete back

Not easy to have abs cut with a knife!

Having an iron butt: even more difficult!

You never do enough bicep exercises

 

 

WEIGHT TRAINING: THE EQUIPMENT

 

Myths and Realities

 

Free weights are much more efficient than machines

The size of the exercise ball depends on the athlete's height

The exercise ball: a must-have for improving balance

Elastics replace all weights

Forget the rubber bands. The TRX® system is even better!

 

No salvation outside the training room!


 

The easy solution in bodybuilding: electrostimulation in my living room!

 

 

STRENGTH TRAINING: THE OBJECTIVES

 

TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE OBJECTIVES Myths and Realities

To gain muscle, you have to lift big weights

I was not born under a lucky star, I will never be muscular

To be muscular in 20 minutes, you just need to be intense

Cardio? Never in life, it melts the muscles!

Build up your muscles while losing fat: mission impossible

Cardio: always before weight training

 

To lose weight: strength training, always before cardio Shoot me ? No way, I'll be less strong!

 

Strength training to increase flexibility: nonsense

 

 

STRENGTH TRAINING: THE METHODS

 

Myths and Realities

 

Strength training, nothing more monotonous CrossFit® reinvents training

CrossFit®: a workout reserved for athletes

Super series: much more effective than regular series

A spot is just for the bench press

In bodybuilding, you should never cheat

Lowering your weights slowly, it's harder, so it's better

A good weight training session ends with "abs"

Power is plyometrics

Warming up is not really useful in weight training

 

Post-workout stretching: the cure for muscle soreness Training sore? No big deal!

 

The effectiveness of a workout is measured in muscle soreness No pain, no gain !

 

 

STRENGTH TRAINING: DIET, SUPPLEMENTS AND OTHER PRODUCTS

 

Myths and Realities

 

Food, in bodybuilding, a simple matter of timing

Creatine: the only legal product that really works

There is definitely a product that can help me ...

 

Steroids are not that dangerous!
