Maybe they just don’t like to feel weak and exposed as they struggle with four reps while 155-pound runners in the gym are able to knock out triple the number of repetitions (or more!) in a single set. Whatever the case, bodybuilders wary of this movement will propagate a number of fallacies to help justify their avoidance of this exercise. It’s time to dispel these myths!
