The Official BS Thread

[Rodity]

This is the official BS thread! Here we post the false info and advice we have ever received in our bodybuilding career. It can be advice from your coach to the personal trainer in your gym, to the captain of the baseball team in your school! It can be anything from advice on how to cut, bulk, add size to a bodypart, which equipment works, and any other load of bs you have heard! So here we go...

All these guys at my school who are cut say they got that way by doing push-ups in the mornings and increasing the number of push-ups every morning until they lost fat. They claimed that this gave them more definition in their shoulder, arm, and chest area.

Anybody got more bs than this?

"Squats are bad for your knees/back, just do leg press it's just as good"

[afrolov]

Bending over in the communal shower will allow you to get greater gain.

Wait...

[Rodity]

"doing 40 lb. for 100 reps is a great mass builder"

[Chris2k4]

Don't buy whey, it's useless...all it is, is the exact same stuff that's in mould on cheese and stuff. Would you eat that?

[Pump that iron!]

I'll get a way better workout using machines than with free weights.

[bate18]

Bowflex works.

"You're too skinny to get big muscles".

[AmonRA]

this kid in my english class said if you lift 5-6 days a week you will blow up rather than gain muscle. I asked what he was talking about "blowing up". he said you will look like a ballon filled w/ air. I told him you dont know what you are takling about. he thinks he knows what he is talking about since he lost all of this weight over the summer. its good to see him get in shape but dont give out bs

Upper body day 1 lower body day 2 repeat

One of my friends tried to tell me that Arnold was taller than Lou Fregno. LOL he tried to tell me that Lou was only like 5'6. He got mad when i told him he was a moron.

that fat turns into muscle, and you need fat 2 build muscle LOL

[nateakabear]

"When doing fly's put your feet up on the bench so you don't use your back while doing the exercise." Heard it from a freshman who's dad taught him this. The kid also has an overgrown elbow and squats and deadlifts on the same day because his dad tells him too. I feel sorry for him.

"My metabolism is too high to gain weight" The kid used to have good abs and now he doesn't.

"Don't bulk up too much, you won't be able to move." Really skinny guy who never lifts.

maybe u were doing bad form?


let me think.

'eat your vegies to grow up and be big and strong' guess who.......MOM

[sfgiants13]

"Lifting will stunt your growth"
"Creatine is bad for you"
"PH doesn't have any side effects"
"Higher reps will tone your body"
"If you get a burger, fries and a diet coke it's healthy"
"You will get a 6-pack if you do hundreds of crunches a day"

Need I say more?

[tinychineseguy]

"You should workout when your most sore because thats the best time for your muscles to grow!"

[sfgiants13]

"Those commericals that say play an hour a day and eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies and you'll live healthy" Partially ture, but if you eat tons of other crap its total BS.

"Do cardio directly before or after training"
"Don't eat anything directly before or after cardio"

I could keep going and going, but I'll give others a turn. I'll add more later if no one can think of any.

[scrawny-nomore]

Workout with minimal rest inbetween sets to keep your heart rate high.
Arch your back when bench pressing to help you lift more weight.

i asked my weight training teacher for any excerises at school for rear delts( they dont have reverve flys) and he replied
"u can do some of these,refering to overhead tricep extensions"


i laughed and walked away

[bLeDZePPeLiN69]

Steroids are the easy way out. Just stick it in and the bigger you get.

[Biggie V]

You should do 30 reps with less weight then 8 reps with a lot of weight -mom
You shouldnt do legs because you dont need them -friends brother
stay away from whey protein because all the chemicals in it will mess up you stomach and kidney and liver -too many people to list


no more that come to mind at the moment

[midweststunna]

creatine is worthless

[brent_167]

The longer you work out, the better

You have to use fancy weightlifting equipment in order to make the best gains.
