A guy at my gym who told me the days of building muscle were over for him.

He's onto "functional training" now. 

Doesn't wanna get hurt. Doesn't want to get get too big and bulky either. 

I hear some version of this every single week.

None of it is realistic. 

The "unathletic bodybuilder" clips you've seen are the exception, not the rule. 

Heavyweight champion of the UFC, Jon Jones - squats heavy. Usain Bolt hammers leg extensions. The most dominant athletes on earth didn't get there by avoiding strength training.

Anyway - someone is selling you based on fear. 

In this today's video I break down:

• why "getting too big" isn't a real thing
• the injury data on weight training (it will surprise you)
• one adjustment to how you lift that feels safer and hits harder

Hoping this prevents at least one person from losing muscle and being frail.
