Training related crap you have been told...

[Dan101]

Hi guys and girls,

Please post any 'stories' you have heard from people regarding training. In other words, what crap have you had to listen to from people relating bodybuilding.

Heres my example. A few months back I was giving bodybuilding advice on a comic message board (dont ask why) and I advised someone to take up training and told him the basics. Then, at most one week later he replied saying he had started bodybuilding and is already gaining mass and his arms and chest are looking pumped and full. This is in less than a week. He was actually saying he grew and got alot stronger in a week and get this, the only supplement he was taking was amino acids. Now if you can make gains like that in a week using amino acids, I want some.

I know beginners always can more at the start, but his claims were ridiculous.

So come on, lets hear your stories.

I heard you must throw chalk over your right shoulder every time you cut one in the gym. Bad Voo-Doo if you don't.

But for real...

Some guy wanted to ban the rocker in my old gym because he said it was the same as lifting with your back. I guess we should ban the bench since it is the same as lifting with your chest.

Hahaha...gotta love it

this kid is used to friends with (but now i cant stand him) and i were talking on the phone once...and we were talking about BB cuz i was just getting into it...not he had a better built tahn me cuz he is much shorter and has a differnt body type (not from being Mr fit or anything just naturally bigeer tahn me) now i have done my share of reading up and was on my way to train correctly ....every body part once per week...and the whole nine yards....this retard starts telling me taht i am working out way too little to make any gains and this is not how you build muscle...so i go " why dont you tell me how to build muscle" he said something along the lines of that you build muscle by working out in the gym and TURNING FAT INTO MUSCLE literary!!! he is also one of those people who believes that you grow strictly from lifting weights and EATING has nothing to do with it....and by the sound of things he prolly believes taht you grow in the gym!!!
anyways i pretty much hung up the phone right there...
cant stand taht kid !

lol......my friend always say something like "turn fat into muscle" too.... thats just...annoying.... if he was right how come he didn't turn his fat into muscle??

[Latts]

One of my favorites is when people that you train to much is you lift five days a week. I guess they don't realize that by subdivideing the muscles you work you get a better work out and then you have more time to recover. Instead of hitting the same muscle group every other time you lift.

[Latts]

I almost forgot. I love it when people say that you can train you abs every day since they recover faster than other body parts. What kinda crap is that. Muscle's muscle. Period

- if you keep working out , soon your not going to be able to move
your arms and legs


-dont lift too heavy , you will kill yourself


-dont lift heavy unless your takeing steroids


-what do you want to get big for??



n when your working out n u see some d00d doing , barbell curls followed by concentration curls , followed by preacher curls , followed by cable curls , followed by alternate curls
n they do 4 sets each

lol!!!!

n u ask them why they are doing soo much n they tell u that coz they only work them once a week that they are some kind of hardcore person n there biceps need that much work , then after all that u see them go train their legs n they end up in the gym for over 2 n a half hours

" Don't ever look like one of big muscles guy who poses. if you get like that you will get saggy tits when you get old "

" Dont lift big because you'll break your neck "

" If you strain your muscles more they will break "

All comments from my grandma.
