Our final episode in the fitness dogma series tackles powerlifting specific dogma! Chalk up, and let's go 9/9 on these.   "Lower your hips" on deadlift critiques You should care about bodyweight-based strength goals Powerlifters do not need any kind of cardiovascular training. Lifting weights faster = cardio Certain exercises ccannotbe performed for higher reps. Front squats and deadlifts especially The idea that focusing on assistance stuff is (with exceptions of rare cases) should be 75% of the work out and the actual competitive movements only 15-25% People that immediately recommend 5/3/1 or 5x5 without any knowledge of a person's training history. Your total on the big 3 is the only measure of fitness that really matters.  If you've not left us a review or rating yet, we'd really love it if you did.  Visit our website: http://shreddedbyscience.com Follow us on Instagram: @shredbyscience  Watch our YouTube videos: @shredbyscience  

Episode number 2 in our Fitness Dogma mini-series, and we move onto general training dogma! In this semi-bumper episode, we examine the following statements:  You should only deadlift once or twice per week, max. You shouldn't train two days running. Bro splits are the best way to train. Every person should train particular movements.  Hip hinge movements are magical. Cardio is ONLY for fat loss. Squats and deadlifts are all you need for your core training. If your form isn't PERFECT you need to go back to an empty bar and learn how to move. Your knees shouldn't go past your toes when squatting.  Visit our website: http://shreddedbyscience.com Follow us on Instagram: @shredbyscience  Watch our YouTube videos: @shredbyscience
