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!
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

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

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.

People mention this all the time, and if you really think about it theres nothing wrong, I also don't want to get freaky huge, Its not like I have to worry about it, but I'm just saying if I had the choice to instantly be I wouldn't choose it.
Theres a difference in simply stating you wouldn't want to be that big.
And actually thinking your going to get there or get there by accident bwahaha
I woudln't want to be ethopien skinny, I doulbt I could get that way before I caved in and started eating, still the fact is still If I had the choice (which I don't) I wouldn't want it.
Its not like the I wouldn't want a million dollars thing, BS you don't.
I mean I also wouldn't want to be 7ft (I'm 6"3) I'm not saying it because I can't and I'm making an excuse, I'm saying it because I'm tall enough its not like basketballs my dig.
So don't chastise people because they don't want to be that big, only if there refraining from doing something simply because they think they will end up that big.

SAGAT said:and the newest myth (saw it on this board!) "add 10 inch to your wrist size to determine your maximum arm size"
That is not a myth. It is very well documented fact. Guys with larger bones tend to have larger muscles. Wrist size is an easy method to determine your bone size.
Ofcourse addimg 10 inches to wrist size is just an approximation (I forgot the exact formula). But it is true for MOST PEOPLE! Unless you are geneticly gifted (in arm department) or use steroids, your wrist size determins your muscle size.
PERIOD! All Flex Wheelers can disregard this fact, for the rest of us there is badminton.... :

LOL Robboe, I see these myths posted daily, and they realize they are myths too! WTF!
Anyway:
"You need to keep your muscles guessing or they will just adapt to a routine and stop growing"
"All extra protein turns into fat"
"Cardio in the morning on an empty stomach is the best time to do it"
"High reps are pointless"
"You should ALWAYS train to failure"
I could go on forever, hahaha....

Please explain the following two, as they are not obvious myths:
1. "Cardio in the morning on an empty stomach is the best time to do it" - I believe most people believe that
2. "All extra protein turns into fat" - isn't extra protein not used like any other extra calories? Excess calories would cause fat?

Haha Robboe. I don't want to get into again but basically it's no more effective than cardio done at other times and it's more likely that muscle will be burned during it (because of the liver breaking down muscle to get it's glucose). I've made a shitload of posts on this, you could prolly dig em up with a search.
About the protein, if the extra protein caused an excess of calories, yes. But, just eating more than used for repair will not just turn into fat. Protein can be converted to carbs as well, and used as energy. Only if:
Calorie requirements
Carb requirements
Repair requirements
...are met will it be stored as fat. So, in order for protein to be stored as fat you'd need to be bulking with a surplus of carbs and eating more than 1g/pound.

Here's one I heard for the first time just a few weeks ago: "when you do really, really slow reps, say a negative of 20 seconds or more, the burning you feel is your body burning lots of extra calories! So if you do all your reps super, super slow you'll lose weight faster!"

To get big you need to spend 3-4 hours a day in the gym...
Next month I'll go to the gym.....
First I'll lose weight then go to the gym.....
BB isn't natural...
Everyone who is big has to be on juice...
I swear next month......
I can't do legs it will stunt my growth....
Lifting weights can be as intense as cardio...
Damn it I said next month.......

I also like" I am training 4 times a week for 45 minutes and have been doing so for the last three weeks and still no results do you think I am overtraining.
I need to bring my bench up for football.
its not healthy to eat that many times a day you should have your basic three meals a day.....(sorry mom had to say it)
girls dont like big shoulders and traps they like abs and arms.
someone telling me to go get my manager at the night club I work at because I am just a stupid bouncer and they will take it up with my boss. I love responding I am the manager.
military presses are bad for your shoulder joints you should just do lateral raises they will get just as big
