Strength training is one of the most effective ways to unlock your physical and mental potential, yet it’s surrounded by countless misconceptions that hold people back from achieving their peak performance. One common myth is that lifting heavy weights will make you bulky overnight. The truth? Building significant muscle mass takes consistent training, precision in nutrition, and often years of dedication. For most of us, strength training improves lean muscle tone, enhances metabolism, and boosts overall functionality—making you not only stronger but sharper and more energized for life's daily demands. Forget the Hollywood clichés; strength training is about building resilience, not bulk.
