hear this myth from young guys who have zero muscle and look like big marshallows with 30% body fat. "you have to eat a ton of red meat and drink a lot of milk to get muscles. " or "you need to get 2X your bodyweight in protein or you can't build muscle" LMAO. riiiiight. i guess guys in prison who eat slop gain by magic...
i've also heard the "you have to get protein right away after a workout" as if the protein is magically gonna absorb that fast anyway. and they think protein shakes and bars are gonna make them big.
oh and there is the "stay away from carbs" crowd who get scared at the mere mention of carbs. good quality carbs vs. junk carbs, big difference between the two. learn the difference and stop being so damn scared of carbs. you actually should infuse your glycogen levels right after a workout with carbs. you aren't gonna get fat eating good carbs like sweet potato or brown rice. you will eating krispy kreme and ice cream though. learn to differentiate between clean carbs and dirty carbs
1. workouts
2. diet
3. sleep
thats the order of gaining quality mass. some guys think that eating a lot of protein and sitting on their ass drinking beer all day is gonna give them muscles. it doesn't work like that. usually its guys in their early 20's who believe that who you see at the gym once a week

smfh at the Elliptical people... I go to an Athletic Club in my neighborhood, so half the people are psuedo-tennis players who also use the gym to workout when they aren't playing on the tennis courts [same for the basketball players on that court there] and all they do is the Elliptical. I literally see people walk in and use the elliptical for an hour, leave, than I mention it later and they tell me 'to try it yourself' as if it was a killer workout... smfh.
my favorite is when they say they want to put on some muscle but they don't want to get as big as me....and then they say they've got 2-3 months...
or when they feel the need to do curls in the squat rack

yeah they think its easy to get like this. one time i offered a buddy who came to my place some L arginine to mix in his water. he got mad at me and said "steve I don't want to get big like Arnold!" as if just drinking 1 pack of L-arginine will make you that big. wow people are stupid. they think its that easy to put on muscle.
gosh there were a lot of douches today at the gym.. something about holidays or weekends that attracts idiots cause these are people i have never seen before. this skinny kid (maybe 23 or 24 tops), he started racking a bar on the smith machine and when he would put the weight on he would slam the weights on the bar. he put on 315 which is weak as hell for the smith machine anyway, but he then started squatting the weight and he barely went down and did like 6 of them then racked it and walked to the drinking fountain like he was the shit and leaves the weights on the rack.
and then my lord this other young kid, one of those tattoo guys with piercings, a bigtime weirdo.. he was wearing this goofy ass hat, and his socks were up to his shins. and he was standing in front of the mirror with like 10 pound girlie dumbells and he would bring the weight up and twist his wrists. it was the weirdest thing i've ever seen. then he would stand and move his hips from side to side moving the weight up. no idea what he was doing, he looked like he never touched a weight in his life.
today must be the day guys who never workout decide to find time for the gym. I fear after New Years more and more douches will be at the gym hogging up the benches.. last year a couple kids who were together working out, were benching 85 pounds and they each took it upon themselves to use up 2 of the 4 benches instead of sharing one, while several of us regulars stood around waiting for them to finish. complete douchebaggery.

I'm one of those small kids... But I also know how to act in a gym. Yesterday I was about to start core and some 15, 16 year old kid [I'm 18] walked up and started chatting with a friend of mine, I swear he was talking louder than an M1 Abrams engine. The kid was screaming and yelling and tried to impress us by putting on weight to a calf machine. a) Was hardly any weight b) He couldn't do it c) He didn't know how to use the machine d) He walked around like he was president of the athletic club. I might not be big... But damn, at least I try to represent the little guys like a gentleman.
