Physical Therapists Debunk 14 More Exercise Myths | Debunked
Think about this: exercise only stresses the body to rebuild itself later.
"Running will ruin your knees" – Yes, do it to much on hard surfaces or if you are too heavy to start. Running for hours a week is not natural at all.
"The best way to burn fat is on an empty stomach" Well true because you are more likely to deplete you glucose depots in the liver and muscles and then you run on fat or ketones. Training fasted also means way higher HGH (human growth hormon) in your system so you build more muscles and hence burn more energy (fat) long term.
It’s not saturated fat that’s the problem. It’s sugar
When people say tone they are taking about firming up the muscles through muscle stimulation. They are not necessarily talking about burning fat to show muscles. A person cannot burn one ounce of fat, but if they have been lifting for a while they look firmer because of muscle stimulation. Protein alone repairs muscles predominantly. Protein along with carbs builds muscles. You generally need and insulin spike to build muscle and an insulin depreciation to get learn. I use the word generally because there are exception to the rules. Also, muscles cells don’t multiple, they expand, This is why many people who’ve been lifting for a while muscle looks like it is drooping when they haven’t lifted for a while.
Running is bad because it cost a lot of effort for zero health benefits
: )
Why are they solving world problems like this, I hope y’all enjoy heaven.
Don’t wanna be rude, but this is not debunking, this is stating the obvious.
"Exercise are only effective if they are at least 1h"… is there really anyone who thinks this?
"Exercising removes bad eating habits" how?? What does it even mean?
Flat feet? cardio before weights?
Also, many "myths" are also terribly formulated.
This could have been much more interesting!
She’s fine and huge 😂😂😂
3:46 "You need to eat meat to build muscle"
The response was that you do not need to get your protein from meat sources only.
What should cause mofo’s eyes to "get big" is the fact that if you’re going to get your protein from plants you would have to consume way more of it then you would if your protein source was meat and dairy.
More things to consider is food absorption and combinations.
I’m not a nutritionist, just a regular guy who does amateurish research.
Evidently that’s above average, when even YouTuber’s don’t even mention food combinations and food absorption when discussing diet.
People who cut out plants (Carnivore Diet) who never consider the problem might be the effects of certain combinations of meat and plants.
The same thing applies to people who stop eating plants and fruits and go back to meat.
Glad that right off they told me they didn’t know what they were talking about. If you have food in your stomach, you won’t eat fat. Simple as that. I’ve lifted weights longer than these kids have been alive. Think of a hybrid car. It doesn’t use it’s electric battery unless you use what’s in the tank. If you argue this, you’ve never tried it. G’day.
This dude is DYEL
I have found those that are both Knowledgeable and experienced in some type of weightlifting training actually know their shit and advice is gold. Only knowledge isn’t good enough nowadays
Just to be clear, lactate are loose ions in your blood stream created when your muscles aren’t able to get enough oxygen for the amount of glucose they’re using. It raises the acidity and gets filtered out pretty quickly by your liver and kidney’s. Lactic Acid is not lactate and will actually decreases the acidity of your muscles when it gets created and burned up. Lactic acid will also not make you sore or cause you any pain, let’s close the door on that myth as well.
So here’s my question. Some poeple say just eat as you normally would and exercise regularly and you’ll lose weigh or gain muscle or whatever your goal is. Is that true? Additionally, is it true that if you eat a certain amount, you have to do double or extra the amount of exercise to gain muscle or lose weight or whatever your goal is?
8:48 could be case of runners being runners BECAUSE they have stronger knees, and not because running helps their knees.
0:48, 4:39, 6:06, 6:51, 9:32
Running too much will destroy your knees
I have a question on the "Bad Diet" part, when you mentioned McDonalds. For the record, I hate McDonalds with their overpriced tiny burgers, but alternatively, I love going to Hesburger from time to time. What if I’m a skinny guy, just trying to gain some weight and strength and don’t really mind having some healthy amount of fat? I don’t really care about getting ripped and lean like a bodybuilder. Are burgers still bad in that case? For the record, I even struggle getting fat. I want some more of it. (non-American).
He
3:53 Keto?
Wearing the wrong shoes destroys your knees
Nope, vegetable proteins do NOT have complete branch chains. Meat is a superior protein source for muscle growth. No amount of woke vegan BS will change that.
Knees over toes can’t be bad. What about all the baseball catchers that do it for hours and 162 games.
full send till your heart comes out of your mouth and repeat
So "running destroy your knees"- then why is my knees so healthy EVEN WITH A DAILY DEADLIFTS and SQUATS!? .That guy is a noob.
ty for spouting a lot of regurgitated bullshit in a circlejerk, heme-iron etc. greetings from a neuro-scientist
Running doesnt hurt your knees? All i saw in the army was ankle, knee, and hip injuries from running. Just becausd you have a degree doesnt mean youre full of shit
Thought I broke my leg after skipping, then kicking the boxing bag. Thank the lord I didn’t
Science Insider! Physical Therapists! You are at a "Bakers Dozen, Thirteen" Nothing wrong with that. Says who? This Veteran and Chef and… One of your exercise myths is a Fact! Says who? Every MILITARY Installation in this country and abroad! Rise Early, shit shower and shave. Exercise, cardio and resistance…Outdoors! Timed with the "Rising of the Sun" Incredible Biorhythm, natural, the ultimate start. No Food! Our bodies have no choice but burn unneeded fat and kill environmental free radicals. Evolution! Hunters didn’t start their day with full bellies at Noon. Survival means? Lean, Mean Hunting machines! And like the military when done hunting "exercising" the reward? Healthy low calorie high protein options. Nothing wrong with thirteen Science Insider. The military calls it the "Dirty Dozen"
Soreness is NOT due to lactic acid buildup. Soreness is due to DOMS
Wait right there… I used to have flat feet and I corrected with shoes; so don’t say there’s no way to change it
soreness after a workout depends on your activity level. If you go from sedentary to lifting weights. You’re going to get sore.
Watch Your Jargon: What is "Cutting"?
Physical therapist calling themselves doctors lol😂
Protein from veggies isn’t nearly as bioavailable. That’s why when you see a world class strength athlete that is vegan, it makes the news because it’s so rare.
The best way to burn fat IS on an empty stomach though… trash
Stop the cap. Big muscles don’t mean strength!!!!
Running does hurt the knees. Especially if it’s daily and on hard surfaces.
reads the thumbnail
-Hear that little buddy?
The "Running destroys your knees" myth might have been born from the fact that, for the longest time, regular people (i.e. not competitive athletes) did not pay much attention to whether the shoes they purchased were adapted to them, which sometimes resulted in joint stress or injuries. Both runners and vendors nowadays have become a lot more aware about selecting appropriate footwear, based on foot alignment, stride pattern, gait, weight, surface, type and level of running, etc.
All that was non-existent until about 10-15 years ago. We just picked shoes based on looks, fashion, price or the promises of the manufacturer, and if we ended up with shin splints or joint pains, we just questioned our "running technique" and tried to correct that (therefore compounding the stress) instead of questioning our choice of shoes.
Denser muscles are stronger, pretty sure there are actual studies that show that denser muscles / bigger fiber cross section are direct contributors to muscle strength.
Since most of this is clearly just a semantics game, I’d like to see both of you answer 25 question questions from your viewers…………independently, to see how each question was answered. I think the replies would be dramatically different. I’ve been in this business a very long time, and seeing how you two choose to interpret the “myths” is just meeting your agenda.
i love thd soreness i get sometimes after a workout
Muscle soreness can also be the result of microtears, to decrease the amount of soreness from next day latic acid crystallization status post exercise use light weight same exercise at the end of your workout (ie after the muscle congestion "the pump" has dissipated). The whole idea is to get fresh bool supply to those muscles to clear out the waste product.
A dip in a hot whirlpool while gently moving the same muscles can have the same effect, just don’t stay so long that you deplete your electrolytes . Also the better condition you are in the less susceptible you are to post exercise soreness.
The bit about running is more complicated than that and yes running can be bad for all of your weight bearing joints if you’re overweight. If you’re not overweight running can still give you problems , the simple fact is OA to a large extent is genetic . Just like some people can smoke 2 packs /day for 40 years and not get lung cancer some people can run, heavy weight train and not get arthritis. However the sad reality is most people do and balancing exercise forces and friction (hips and knees especially) is important because cartilage does not repair itself well if at all.
No way you will squat 250kg ++with your knees Infront of your toes. The two of you look like you have not actually trained but just read alot of books
The thing with the knees getting hurt by running is REALLY down to ligament strength, so maybe you need to strengthen those first before starting running if you do it for the first time.
Also, with flat feet you need the proper shoe inlets to protect your back
thanks 🙂
At 1:55 they start describing lactate as causing delayed onset soreness. This is not the current thought around what causes DOMS and should also be debunked.
I would like to add one. Putting on mass amounts of muscle and becoming incredibly big while having no body fat is nearly impossible. People dedicate years of their lives to get that way and it’s not going to happen to you by accident.
