Localized Fat Loss: The Myth that Sells
Claims made by the experts: There exists a disregard for physiological facts on the part of those profiting from the sale of "muscle-specific" exercise devices claiming their use to result in localized fat loss. For example, performing abdominal exercises using any one of the currently marketed "ab-isolating" devices, or even doing appropriately prescribed sit-ups for that matter, does little or nothing to rid the waistline of fat as is so often claimed.
A Good Spotter
"Can I get a spot from you, man?" asks the aspiring bodybuilder of the new gym rat. "Sure," says the gym rat. Poised behind the bench press uprights, the gym rat peers down watching and listening to the bodybuilder as he prepares for a maximal effort, the gym rat's hands firmly grasping the bar. "I'll get four on my own, then watch me close on the fifth rep," grunts the bodybuilder. "No problem, man," replies the gym rat, not having a clue what he meant or what is going on.
The Antagonistic Multi-Set Training Principle
Not so long ago, there were as many different expert opinions about proper training principles as there were experts! For this reason, in the early stages of body building's evolution, "guess work" was practiced by everyone, even on the highest levels. Superior genetics, and the hit-or-miss use of successful training principles then separated the winners from the losers.
Roll 'em: Personal Training Using Video Tutorials
Video may have killed the radio star, but video tutorials have seen a meteoric rise in popularity among both educators and students in recent years. Video tutorials are commonly used in distance learning courses around the globe by those who want to reach students or clients on their own time.
