Fitness Advice from the Unfit

What is with these people?! They can't walk the walk, but they sure do talk the talk, and it's all bullshit too. "All that protein's bad for you..." "All that muscle will turn to fat..." "Walking is the only exercise you need..." "Machines are better than free weights..." (I rarely argue on this point because it keeps the free weights less crowded.)

One severely overweight woman told me "all that exercise will break down your body". She's had multiple knee surgeries (due to weight), is developing diabetes (also due to weight), and she's had breast cancer (typically due to high levels of estrogen, which is also due to excess weight). So, WHOSE body is breaking down?

Another unfit woman (who actually thinks she's fit) said she'd never use the rowing machine "because it'll give me big shoulders". Her shoulders are already bigger than mine because they're fat, but she doesn't think so because her butt's REALLY big I'm glad people think the rowing machine is "bad" so it's always ready and waiting for me

"You shouldn't train above the fat-burning zone..." "Squats will make your butt big..." (Let's keep this a secret too, because it keeps the squat rack open.) "Eating so often is hard on your digestion..." "Those protein shakes have steroids..."

Heh. If that was true, I'd be a well-hung baritone by now.

I'm gonna borrow that line.

Be my guest, lol. I've borrowed and passed on enough of your advice in the past few months. People are actually starting to think I know what the hell I'm talking about.
