Post your fav BB myths here

[WantNoFatAssHo!]

I also hate the "I'm afraid that i might gain too much muscle. I don't want to be a freak". Only stupid dumbfucks says that, and they're always small!

here is my fav 2:

"Your too young to start lifting...your wont grow"

this is from one of my friends:
"why do you want to look like that(me pointing to Scott Steiner),girls dont like that kind of body"

I have some older relatives (in their 60's) who live in a resort area. They told me about some "trainer" there who is really expensive. All the rich old people are lining up to "train" with him because he uses "special machines" that are supposedly unlike anything else (and so obviously must be better because this guy charges so much). Well, the people I've seen who've been to him don't look like they've trained anything at all, to tell the truth.

Why is it people want to pay a wad of money to do something new and different rather than do the basic tried and true stuff that's proven?! (Hell, most of them never stick with it long enough anyway.) Hard work is free and the results are guaranteed!!!

"I dont really know how much i bench?..let see......... i can do 225 for 10 reps so i should be able to bench about ............................350"

my favorite is.........."i dont have to go full range......i will look just as good if i go half way with more weight"

oh and dont forget.............."train calves 3-4 times a week"

and "dont deadlift to after your 18"

stupid people

"I do curls three days a week, twenty fuckin' sets and I can't get my arms any bigger"

"Roids make you huge dude!"

"I want to lose some weight before I start working out."

That a great physique can be built without focusing on eating as hard as you focus on training.

lift-eat-sleep

all are important as the other.

Some of my favourites:

"I don't wanna get too big."

"The bigger they are, the smaller their dick."

"Cheaters. They just let the steroids do all the work."

"Damn, that guy is huge!! He must spend 6 hours a day in the gym!!"

"You can't get big without squatting." (Yes, this IS a myth)

"I would never wanna be that big." (Uh huh)

"Will it make me bulky? I don't wanna look like those bodybuilder women." (My sister, when I recommend she does some resistance exercise like pushups, lunges and unweighted squats to tone muscle and add some variety to her exercise program)

I guess not all of those are "myths" but oh well.

 

[rgosit]

u guys are hitting them all..

i like

i cant squat i have bad knees
liting weights will make u run slower
the more u lift the better (lifting 7 days a week)
machines are as good as free weights
for girls- lifting will make me big and bulky

 

[diablo135]

I'm gonna do cardio for a while to lose weight, then I'll start the weight training!

 

[Arkan]

I dont need to work my legs because the extra weight I put on from getting big arms and chest, will make me heavier and so my legs will grow form carrying an inceased body weight!!!!!!!!!!
