Olivia Treadwell1. You don’t need to bulk or cut: If it stresses you out and you can’t realistically stick to it for 6+ months, you don’t have to. 2. You don’t need to eat protein 30 minutes after your workout: The “30-minute anabolic window” is overhyped. Your overall daily protein intake matters more than panicking after your session. 3. You don’t need to train fasted: Fasted cardio isn’t a secret fat-loss hack. Over the day, your body adjusts & balances out fuel sources, meaning calorie deficit dictates total fat loss. 4. You can’t spot-reduce fat: Doing a million ab workouts won’t do it & everyone stores fat differently. 5. You don’t need an arm toning workout: There’s no special light-weight, high-rep workout that magically tones you. Ya build muscle. Just focus on what your body does & responds (some people build certain muscles easier/quicker). 6. You don’t need to be sore: A workout doesn’t become more effective because walking downstairs hurts the next day. Soreness is not a reliable measure of progress at allll. 7. You don’t need to avoid carbs to be lean/loose fat: Being in a calorie deficit will do it. You need carbs for energy, and your body needs energy to grow muscle, lift heavy and function properly :) 8. Lifting heavier won’t suddenly make you bulky. Getting more muscle takes time, training, nutrition & progressive overload.
