The Mis-information Vault

[lweaver]

So I thought it would be funny if we had a thread to share the BS training information that we read in musclemags, view on other sites, and hear from idiots every day.

I think it would be best to leave the sources anonymous...

I just read a good one that inspired this thread...

" But if you aren't comfortable with free squats yet, build up with leg presses, doing your free squats using just the bar to get the hang of the movement. Then slowly add weight to your free squat until you're matching your leg press amounts while still squatting with confidence and proper form. "

Haha people have no clue. I still enjoy hearing people say they are going to turn fat into muscle.

had a kid tell me at the gym that if you do little reps at heavy weight you will gain weight. and if you do a lot of reps at a smaller weight you will lose weight. riiiiiight.

white muscle fiber vs. red muscle fiber theory but without truely understanding the end results.

"Oh, I run on every off day" -rtard



"I did like a hundred crunches yesterday, trying to get that six pack" - Fat kid.

^^^ i had a guy tell me he was losing his gut by working his abs. i tried to explain to him that you can't spot train to lose fat, gotta lose body fat as a whole then your fat around your waist will drop too. he says "its working"

I hear and see dumb shit everytime i'm in the gym... it's unavoidable really, unless you open a gym and require members to take a test prior to granting them a membership... unfortunately you wouldn't make money doing so...

i guess to each their own, though, cause at least they are doing "something"...

the whole turning fat to muscle is a real crack up though... UGH...

how bout "its okay to eat twinkies, candy, and ice cream all day because as long as I burn those calories at the gym I will lose weight."

riiiiight.

Haha i had one guy (prolly on tren) fly off the handle Bc i jokingly asked him what good stuff he's using that makes him that big to where he only has to be in the gym for 20 literal minutes doing nothing but curl everyday.
