Next 9 : Truth of Fiction? A Look at Bodybuilding Maxims :
"Agonize. Don't socialize" (Eric Burkhardt)
Another nice way to say the above.
"If in doubt, add more weight"
No logic here, but what else is new? I'd rather say "If in doubt, congratulate yourself because at least you have some inkling that maybe you're doing it wrong"!
"Do as many as you can, and then three more"
An old coaches maxim to get across the idea of maximal effort. However, I must emphasize that your exercise technique should be the same from your first to your last rep. If any aspect changes- speed, range of motion, posture, etc.- it means you hit failure and then found some way of altering your technique in order to complete more reps. The possible exception to this rule is when using Tellekinetics, which in effect, is a scientific form of cheating.
