How much fitness knowledge do we need?

When I started training I had very little knowledge on fitness and strength training and trained wrong for months.  Most people who go to gyms don’t know what they are doing and go on what they think is right.  Once I gained the information I needed from a bit of personal training and reading magazines my workouts improved dramatically.  More knowledge you have the better your results.  Last week I spoke to a guy who knew nothing about the gym he told me he had been doing 100 reps of 3 kg weights to get big arms, now, if you know anything about weightlifting you will know that this will not build big arms but enhance the tone of your arms thats all.  if this guy trained this way for a year he wouldn’t get big arms and would be wasting his time, this is why knowledge is crucial.
