Our bodies are extremely adaptive, and they adapt, when you ask them gently for long enough.

Mean Bodybuilders are threatened by this ease, and come up with lies to derail the efforts of others.

If you are already offended, one second please, because chances are – very good – that you have been lied to.

---

The lie sticks not just because it is mean, but also because it makes pretending to be a bodybuilder easy.

The lie is furthermore backed by a convincing locking mechanism, that gives you a little bit, and never, ever, ever, ever more.

And this problem is much bigger than you think, because bodybuilding is not just about the looks.

Bodybuilding pushes effects of aging so far back, that we might as well call it a rejuvenation strategy.

Bodybuilding gives you life, the biggest bodybuilding lie, gives you only a little bit of life.

And then ensures you are cornered, and you never get more.

---

Let me show you the lie, and the locking mechanism.

---

The lie, is lift heavy for big muscles.

And the locking mechanism is that you soon reach a point, where you cut off your circulation with weight much to heavy.

And will never adapt pas that one time, that the muscles grew.

It gets worse, proper posture is a lie.

By standing still - what should be a full body workout, that includes secondary muscles, from flexing, engages only 2 or 4 muscles.

---

The thinking behind the lie is this:

Lets make them think the pain builds muscles, via muscle failure.

What they will actually be doing, is just cutting off their circulation.

---

People will say, it worked once before, I can make it work again.

But they are just sliding down a bad routine, a routine that many can’t abandon.

---

Once they can’t lift more, they only maintain, never build again.

Others must be cheating, they will think.

But what is really going on, is that there are two paths.

And the obvious one is false, it is a dead lock trap.

Lifting heavy, only grows muscles once.

Proper posture or machines, embellishes only one muscle, once.

---

You can only lift heavy up to a certain point, but when you lift light for an hour or two.

You can easy sneak in 20 minutes, or switch up to a slightly higher weight.

And for long enough, for your body to hear you, to make it so that next time you can go a bit longer.

The mechanism for adapting multiple times, is on the light path.

Here you don’t cut off your circulation, you flex, bend and turn while cycling standing dumbbell exercise.

Please, don’t take my word for it, close your eyes and visualize someone in a locked position lifting heavy.

Notice the duration, the number of muscles, how they do nothing for their back, and litte for theil legs.

Now imagine a dancer, twisting up and around, with light dumbbells, 5 or 10, 15.

Whatever induces hard effort, but without forcing a person to stop.

For any longer than what it takes to let hands rest, and restore any circulation upset by a long session.

That is to say, if it feels light, than you need to lift faster, or more frequently, or heavier.

You can use wrist weights of 1.5lb, or aerobic dumbells that are spaced by 2.5lb.

5 pounds gaps are too hard to cover, give your body time to adapt with 2.5lb weight spacing.

---

Finally, lifting heavy destroys an important mechanic, that prevents a long lookout, the dance trance.

Dance trance employs a phenomenon similar, to what you sometimes encounter when driving back home after work.

Time slips away from you, even hours can pass, feeling only like minutes.

To enter this sleepy state you need to coordinate your motion, with the beats in your songs – you need to do a small dance.

And ensure there are no distractions, perfume, smells, crappy speaker music, or even a light bouncing off a chrome plated workout bench.

Where lifting heavy is a problem, workout out without fresh crisp music is unfair.

People who lift heavy for decades do develop muscles, but very slowly, and posture and isolation robs them of flexibility.

Lastly, be careful when giving advice, be sure a person is new or receptive.

Otherwise, you are just telling someone to change their hard earned routine, and that may not be something that is in them anymore.

We have only covered the first level of bodybuilding, in the second level it is an interpretive dance.

Where you perform all motions from life, embellished, from getting up to jumping up, as a flowing dance again with dumbbells.

When you flow your motion, as opposed to move stiffly, you reach the secondary, what feel like support or transitional muscles.

You become flexible and immune to aches and pains, exactly like back when you were a child, and nothing ever hurt.

Aging is not decay, it is atrophy.
