Here are 3 things you must NOT take to the gym with you:
1) Mobile phone - leave your phone in your gym bag. There's evidence to support that training with a mobile phone decreases testosterone levels by 31% as well as a drop in strength.
2) Heat magazine, Complete Works Of Shakespeare, or any book for that matter - the gym is a place for training, not for reading... I don't walk into my local library with a pair of resistance bands and perform a set of push ups - keep it in your locker!
3) Ego - This is possibly one of the No 1 causes of most injuries and poor results. Many people will favour weight over technique which results in improper movement patterns and poor muscular development. Tip: leave your ego in the dressing room!
Tomorrow I will be taking about the top 3 things you MUST take into the gym.

ReplyDeleteAlthough not the exact study here you will find the effect of cell phone radiation done on Wistar Rats and you'll find that serum testosterone levels dropped by about 50% across a 3 month period through exposere to EMF radiation of 60mins a day.
