There are so many different diet and fitness programs out there today that it's hard to know what will give you noticeable results and what will leave you wishing you had spent all those hours in the gym doing something more productive.

There are many knowledgeable people out there who can offer you some great advice on how to achieve your goals, but you also need to be aware of some of the major myths that exist in the bodybuilding and fitness world, such as the ever-popular "carbs are evil" untruth. Over time, though, this myth is being corrected; people are starting to learn not to leave out this vital nutrient and are working it back into their diets.

So make sure you are not falling for the following common myths, or you will likely see your progression begin to slow and could even set yourself up for injury.

Myth 1: Your buddy's fitness program will give you the same results. This is a very common notion among bodybuilders, who constantly ask fellow gym partners what kind of fitness program and diet tricks they use, thinking that if they do the same, they will see the same results.

This couldn't be further from the truth.

Granted, it may be a very good program and you may see some results with it, but remember that you have a different physiological makeup than every other guy in the gym, and your body will respond to various training protocols in a different manner. So your best bet is to incorporate some aspects of this "workout God"'s regimen into your program, but play around with the techniques and figure out what works best for you.

You may simply need to reduce the number of reps or substitute one exercise for another in the program. The important thing is to come up with the plan that works best for you.
