SPORT-Rx -> Rehab / Training Myths (March 7, 2005 6:21:00 PM)
I am new to the forum and thought it would be interesting to hear some of your favorite rehab /training myths. I will start with, "never let your knee go past your toes while exercising" Dan

Good one. How about "if you want to just "tone" your muscles (what does this mean?) you should lift light weights for lots of reps. If you want to avoid getting big, don't lift heavy." It's funny that the opposite is true, and that VOLUME, not load, builds size/hypertrophy. J

Here's one. "All will be well if you just do all your exercises for 10 repetitions, 3 times, 3 times a day." JMA

Randy Dixon -> Re: Rehab / Training Myths (March 8, 2005 5:24:00 PM)
How about you need to isolate the muscle to strengthen it.

"Your muscles will only grow if you increase the weight" JMA

Myth: You should always wear a weight belt when lifting Sarah

Sebastian Asselbergs -> Re: Rehab / Training Myths (March 10, 2005 12:53:00 AM)
Love this one: "You've GOT to increase your maximum weight".....

"Its okay to let your elbows or knees lock out with each rep of the bench or leg press"

"Of course the Smith machine is safe for squats and military press" mike t

"No pain, no gain"

jma -> Re: Rehab / Training Myths (March 10, 2005 8:37:00 AM)
"A weight belt will protect your back as you lift heavy weights" JMA

rn8711 -> Re: Rehab / Training Myths (March 10, 2005 2:22:00 PM)
JMA, Is it the manner in which you "let your elbows or knees lock out" during the bench or leg press that could prove detrimental and not necessarily the act itself? Russell

jma -> Re: Rehab / Training Myths (March 10, 2005 2:29:00 PM)
I see it as full extension of the elbows and knees that could be damaging to joint using heavy weights.

JLS_PT_OCS -> Re: Rehab / Training Myths (March 11, 2005 2:56:00 AM)
Along the lines of JMA's posts, I like to tell patients/clients to have their joints "straight but not locked". This discourages locking the joint and resting the weight on the joint structures. It also takes away from the total time under tension of the muscle unit, hampering strength gains. J

jma -> Re: Rehab / Training Myths (March 11, 2005 4:07:00 AM)
Yes, thats what I meant to say. JMA

jma -> Re: Rehab / Training Myths (March 13, 2005 5:02:00 AM)
"You will make tremendous gains if you take your reps to failure, once in a while" JMA

JLS_PT_OCS -> Re: Rehab / Training Myths (March 14, 2005 6:52:00 AM)
jma, I'm not sure I disagree with training to failure occasionally. Put in a periodized program, I think there is a role for that type of stimulus. However, the biggest problem many of us see is people taking reps to failure EVERY time. That's another issue entirely. J

Unfortunately, I heard this phrase being used with senior citizens. It should never be considerered, even occassionally. JMA

"If you stop lifing weights your muscles will turn into fat."
