Growing muscles is an art that all can’t master. But not for 25x World Record Powerlifter Stefi Cohen! The bodybuilding arena is filled with misconceptions, but hearing from experts like Cohen can help understand the facts. She recently myth-busted the common theory of muscle growth by stating some interesting facts.

In a video posted on her Instagram channel, she explained the formula for muscle growth by providing a detailed workout plan. She also tagged Gymshark’s Instagram page and asked her followers to save the post if they have learned something from the video.

Most people have a habit of changing their exercise routine regularly feeling that the muscles will “get used” to a movement and there wouldn’t be any muscle growth beyond. “They don’t allow themselves the opportunity to actually progressively overload any specific movement”, Cohen complains. This serves as a prime reason why many people won’t see any progress in their journey toward muscle growth. 

The powerlifter and doctorate holder suggests concentrating on 15 or 20 exercises on rotation per month for acing the technique and better muscle growth. She says “The concept of muscle confusion is on page 1 of the bro science bible.”

She challenges it by adding that muscles don’t grow when confused. Instead, they grow when tension is applied to them at the right intensities, and that too for a prolonged period in a progressive manner. She suggests keeping every exercise in the program for at least 3-4 weeks.
