ITT: broscience the general public believes

[mingzie]

edit: removed the fruit and vege one because you guys do have valid points with the nutrients. although to be fair i was exxagerating as excessive/all fruits are not healthy or ideal for weight loss and do contain a hefty amount of carbs/sugar

- You need to do cardio to lose weight
- There are 'dirty' and 'clean' foods
- You should never eat foods like McDonalds or KFC or ice cream, its not 'clean' and you won't lose fat/gain muscle
- Girls shouldn't lift heavy weights.. they will get 'too big'
- High reps for toning, low reps for bulking
- You can affect the 'shape' of your muscles by doing certain exercises or training in a certain way.
- Low reps won't build muscle
- Personal trainers actually know anything about fitness
- Personal trainers are knowledgeable and experienced
- Don't eat carbs at night, you'll get fat
- You have to eat at least x amount of meals a day to speed up your metabolism, gain muscle, lose weight etc.
- Egg yolks are bad for you
- Saturated fat is bad for you and increases your cholesterol levels
- You can spot reduce fat (e.g. doing abs to get rid of stomach fat)
- Your body will adapt to a program if you don't change it up. Switch things up and shock your body - muscle confusion!
- Soreness after a workout means you're growing, making progress and training hard
- Soreness is a good indicator that you're building muscle
- Eat a slow absorbing protein like casein at night
- The body can only absorb x amount of protein in a single meal
- You should only take x min rest between sets
- High reps, light weight burns more calories than low reps, heavy weight
- Fats are bad for you
- Don't eat carbs at all if you're trying to lose weight
- Don't go below parallel on squats, you will fuk up ur knees
- You have 'no time' to go to the gym
- People who lift weights are stupid
- You need to do 1million situps and crunches to get impressive abs
- You need to eat every 2-3 hours to speed up your 'metabolism'
- Your body will go catabolic and start burning muscle while/after lifting or if you're in the gym for more than x minutes.
- Toning
- You have to work really hard and suffer to lose weight like the TV show "The Biggest Loser"
- Whey protein powder is unnatural
- Protein shakes are like steroids
- The protein in protein powder is different to foods with protein in them
- Protein powder makes you fart
- The gym is an intimidating and harsh environment
- You need to sweat in the gym to make progress
- You should change your routine and start doing higher reps when you're cutting weight
- You have to 'feel the burn' on any exercise to make progress
- You don't need to train abs, they'll show at a low bodyfat and are made in the kitchen
- High protein diets destroy your kidneys
- I have bad genetics, that's why I'm so weak/small/making no progress
- I'm an ectomorph and naturally skinny, thats why I can't gain weight.. I eat heaps I swear
- I'm not a pussy
- You can't gain muscle or lose weight by eating only one meal a day. It's unhealthy.
- White bread/the soft part is bad for you
- Eating too much eggs is unhealthy
- Sugar/sodium/MSG/cholesterol/fat is bad for you
- Fat turns into muscle
- Muscle turns into fat
- You will lose all of your muscle quickly if you stop training
- There is such thing as 'fake muscle' and 'real muscle'
- Squats and deadlifts release growth hormone which make your whole body grow
- Creatine makes a big difference in your strength/energy levels
- Complex vs simple carbs
- You need to do full range of motion on every exercise with perfect form
- You need to feel your muscle being worked for it to grow
- There is functional strength and weight lifting strength
- Weight lifting strength doesn't carry over to other areas
- Lifting weights at a young age stunts your growth.
- I don't need to train legs I play (insert pussy sport here) and run.
- Egg yolks are bad for you and your arteries
- Muscle turns into fat, fat turns into muscle. Muscle will turn into fat after you stop training
- "Does protein work?"
- "I don't wanna get too big, I just want to get toned"
- "I don't wanna get too big, I just want to get toned"
- "I don't wanna get too big, I just want to get toned"
- Training abs will fuk up your lower back
- If you're a girl and lift weights you'll turn into Arnold
- Martial arts are efficient for building muscle and getting strong
- It takes years and years and years of training to get big and strong

Weight Training Has Turned Me Into A Maniac Driver.

I train Monday to Thursday after work. I train in my hometown which is about a 30-40 minute drive back from work every day. I notice that I am on edge all day every day and am eager to get to the gym and get my workout done so I can go home and relax. I find that I am driving way over the speed limit, through red lights and overtake cars on the other side of the road facing oncoming traffic. All this so I can get to the gym 'on time'. 'On time' is the normal time I get to the gym every day. If I am running a little late I become more of a maniac just to save 5 minutes. I even bunk out of work 1 minute early when my boss isn't looking to get a head start out of the carpark. Yesterday was pretty bad. There was major congestion outside where I work and this made me 10 minutes late on my schedule. I began screaming in the car uncontrollably and trying to rip the steering wheel off in rage. I began flipping people off and shouting aobscenities at the top of my voice in my car. Even though nobody could hear me. Today I overtook a truck that was doing 30. It was like a gasme of chicken. There was cars coming straight at me and the truck actually tried to push me into the oncoming traffic. I managed to get in front of the truck, then slowed right down to 15mph and started flipping him off and screaming hyterically at him via the rear view mirror.

I am not taking roids. This is seriously how anxious I get to get to the gym and get my workout done. On Fridays when I don't train I couldn't care less about congestion. I just sit back and listen to the radio and take my time.

My gym doesn't open early - and I would love to train before work to avoid this stress.

Fruits and veggies are good for you , that is true .

half that **** is true

This lulz op

[Shmoclo]

u should switch up ur routine dumbs
i
Muscle turns into fat, fat turns into muscle. Muscle will turn into fat after you stop training. -this is true also because of modularity of proteins carbs fats

[Snipes91]

I had a skinny fat dude at work tell me that I gave to eat carbs every few hours to "keep my carbs up." Srs.

[mingzie]

post proof apart from being brainwashed by the media telling you that its good for you

come the fuk at me brahs (srs).

u should switch up ur routine dumbass

u can use the same routine forever. in fact, you should keep the same routine for as long as possible (as long as its somewhat decent - having a measuring stick is important).

the only thing that matters is that you're progressively overloading.

come the fuk at me.

It's all in the wording.

Do you NEED to sweat to make progress? technically no. Will you sweat if you are working hard enough to make progress? yes.

not really, i lift heavy as FUK (in my 10RM, 8RM, 6RM) and don't sweat. you will sweat less or not at all if you lift heavy as fuk and take decent rest periods

my progress has been crazy

[WILLofPEACE]

brah, the one in bold is proven true. they grow back, but they do shrink in size on cycle.

the ones in italics are my own opinion to be false, guess that is a little bro science of my own.

other than that, list looks pretty accurate.

Go to your control panel, then on the left under settings go to edit profile. You will see it on that page called your user title.

Good thead OP. especially about the saturated fat and cholesterol not being bad for you. High cholesterol doesn't cause heart disease.

For more info read over this website

http://www.thincs.org/discuss.htm

Lots of proof cholesterol doesn't cause heart disease

But I would say fruit and veg can be good for you they have good nutrients in them. They're not super foods though like the general public thinks that if you eat one vegetable it'll make a huge difference.

Repped

not discussing that one anymore since im natty and thread will get deleted.

i never feel the burn nor feel it in my muscle - Mind muscle connection is not important as most people on the misc believe and with low reps you will feel less of a burn.

u don't have to do "full" ROM to make progress as long as you're progessively overloading. misc has an obsession with full ROM

u can get where you want pretty fast natty in 2-3 years if you're consistent and train with intensity. theres diminishing returns anyway.
