@paleovalley: Because working smarter and harder? That is the real unlock. Here are 3 more myths that are holding you back: MYTH 4: You need to train to failure every set to build muscle Training to failure every set doesn't maximize gains — it maximizes fatigue and increases injury risk. What actually matters: → Proximity to failure (leaving 1–3 reps in the tank) → Total weekly volume across sets and sessions Easy win: If your recovery is suffering, you're probably training too close to failure too often. Pull back intensity, keep volume, and fuel recovery with collagen-rich protein like bone broth — glycine specifically supports CNS recovery and sleep quality, which is where adaptation actually happens. MYTH 5: Fasted cardio burns more fat Fasted cardio burns more fat during the session — but total fat oxidation over 24 hours is the same as fed cardio. What actually matters: → Total daily caloric balance → Muscle preservation during cardio Easy win: If you prefer morning training, get fast-digesting protein in before or immediately after. Whey protein is ideal here — it spikes muscle protein synthesis rapidly and halts the catabolic window that fasted exercise opens. MYTH 6: Soreness means your workout was effective Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is not a reliable indicator of muscle damage or growth stimulus. Happy #nationalfitnessmonth
