Some of the lies seem to be rather incomplete...

23 -- Training with weights causes...
for example causes lots of things... including muscle growth believe it or not!!!!!!!!

hardgainer (now where are my dumbbells?)

 

[blood_drinker]

i agree with hardgainer. wtf?

9 -- You can't grow if

why is this a lie? you can't grow eg if you train your ass off 6hrs a day, and eat 1000cals a day !

some are rather incomplete, i definetely second that. im unimpressed by the list.

fellas, click on the link and it will have the complete phrases and a pharagraph or two on each one. those are just the beginnings of each one. for example, #9 is not "You can't grow if...", but rather, "You can't grow if you only lift each body part once a week." Click on the link he left and it will be more complete. just trying to help...
