What's the worst piece of Gym advice anyone's ever given you?

[BlazeInfinity92]

swoll as **** black guy told me he ate wheat bread and put on 60lbs, SRS

black genetics brah... he could've eaten cereal and he would still have had the same result

[crsarellano]

Dont lift weights or take protien. Do crossfit if you wanna get big

[crsarellano]

"You're supposed to bend your back when deadlifting bro."

i got told to pull with my back at the top. I'm like.... you know theyre squeezing their glutes when they do that right lol.

[RedSoxBrah]

Another one from the same guy:
"Stay away from Muscle Milk. When you drink it, the body turns it into steroids and gives you artificial muscles. I'm telling you this for the sake of your dick."

[Mikel91]

"Don't take pre-workouts because once you stop taking them, all the muscle you built while using them will turn into fat."

[crsarellano]

"I hate ***gots who walk around the gym with a gallon of water. You know theyre taking creatine and that just makes you bloated and look bigger than you really are."

"creatine is a steroid"

"once you stop taking creatine youll get fat"

lolz

[FU3L]

Only work arms and chest, people don't see anything else.

[Money Shot]

at this point, no one would ever offer me advice since I am usually the biggest guy at the gym, but I used to get a lot of stupid advice that made me shake my head. usually protein and creatine are steroids and crap like that

[JustSaiyanBro]

old man who claimed to be a bodybuilder in the 70's advised me to eat a jar of olives every day for mass gains

srs

[OptimusPrim3]

"creatine is a steroid"

THIS. Lmao. Good friend of mine told me I was cheating cause I was taking creatine. He also told me that anything that helps muscle growth and makes your body produce hormones is a steroid, therefore creatine was a steroid. I literally lolwut the entire time. Strong lack of knowledge.

[Dlu69]

there was a skinny ass ******* told me not to squat. he said, "squatting is going to stunt your growth." totally bertstared at him for good 5 mins.

Height:5'9


looks like he was right after all..

[STEELxBALLS]

One time this really swole dude told me,

"Only focus on compund lifts, and make sure, since you're just starting out, to only workout 3-4 days a week, and eat a LOT of food"

WHAT AN IDIOT!!!

so much fukking this^ lol

one good friend of mine said "because you take creatine, when you stop, your muscles will get all saggy and shyt because of it" i just berstared him

another friend, who's no longer a friend, said "oh you take creatine? that's why you're so big, you're pretty much on roids". me and my other friend who actually know chit just laughed

[AGhostBehindUs]

I cant remember how this came but a guy told something about jack3d protecting the stomach from fat

[Navigator416]

Anything from anyone about abs, arms or creatine. I haven't had anyone come and talk to me about training tho in the last few years, mostly just regular morning peeps saying whats up. Rarely is it about training.

Who are these people that are talking to you guys? Randoms?

[brb_being_small]

low reps for bulking, high reps for cutting

There's a guy at my gym, who's a similar size to you, that believes this

[Bigrobgymfit]

I was told by some tiny fella that rows are pointless if you do lat pulldowns... I just chuckled and said ok thanks.

This.

[jasowhit]

I asked some tall old skinny gym regular for a spot on bench press. After doing a set of 225 lbs for 6 or so reps he says "You're benching way too much! You only need to do 135 lbs. That's all anyone needs to do!"

For that matter, I fuking hate anyone who gives drive by advice.

[kommakazi09]

Doing cardio will build up your leg muscles

[Metalhead44]

Doing cardio will build up your leg muscles

When people say this i phucking rage.My brother use to lift,when i asked him why he doesnt do legs he said "I don't need to do legs,i already run".

[return0]

"you must get fat first before you join a gym so you could turn them into muscles." strong fat logic

[yelojackt]

Creatine shiit usually. Trainer tried to sell me pro hormones and I said no thanks, im too young and I want to hit my natty limit first. **** you not she said "you are already unnatural cause you take creatine and preworkouts

Also, **** about fat converting to muscle and visa versa. Also, "omg a gallon of milk a day? That's so unhealthy, all that fat will make you fat. If you want muscle, only eat protein"

Also, **** like "I gained 30 lbs of muscle on creatine, but lost it all when i got off of it.". Or, "sweet, since starting creatine I gained 10 lbs of muscle". Me: "I'm pretty sure it's just water retention". Him: "nope, look at how much bigger my chest is now, all muscle"

Also, "if you want abs you have to do an work to burn off the fat on your stomach"




Fuk, I could write a book

[brent89]

Stay gold Ponyboy, stay gold.

[DenchPress]

arch your back when doing bicep curls for maximum muscle function

It's like these *******s try to convince you that their **** form is good for them.

[youngstallion]

One of the biggest and shredded guys i knew at my gym when I was in highschool the guy was using GH and steroids. I asked him about his diet an supplements and he said "Oh man i just eat carls, and steak like everyday no supplements or anything"

[da2ricky]
