Which /fit/ meme do you think has caused the most harm towards newbies?
GOMAD
Do a split
Dont do curls
Dont do full body
Dont do cardio
>not exclusive to these
>>35236881
>Browsing /fit/ wiII increase your knowIedge on fitness
>>35236905
so essentially /fit/ itself is a hurtful meme?
>>35236881
That cardio kills gains
If we are talking about actual harm, that alone has probably set people's health back miles
And pretty much anything to do with insecurity (manlets etc) is pretty harmful to a noobs psyche
>>35236938
Seeing as pretty much 75% of threads here are about shitty fitness memes, yes
>>35236970
my favorite thing is how the MODS delete high test threads or dick-health/exercise threads
yet things like .....
>Hey Anon! Want to go for a jog with me?
Are left alone
>>35236992
This board is almost entirely useless, it might have been fun but it's overrun with fucking robots, sour skinnyfats, and idiots, low quality bantz too
>>35237029
I actually rarely come here anymore. The insecurity, hatred, and hostility are too much.
If I ever have a question, I simple make a thread and then swim through 95% of comments that embody the previous issues with this board.
The "do SS" meme is pretty up there. It doesn't do actual physical harm, but it has probably killed the motivation of thousands of newbie lifters and made them give up on lifting forever, just because it's a one-size-fits-all suggestion that doesn't actually work for what 90% of all new lifters actually want from lifting.
If we're talking physical harm, /fraud/ has probably caused a couple of people to roid without actually doing any research. You see them sometimes in here asking retarded questions, without an AI on hand and no PCT planned for their cycle, but they already have the test and they're ready to pin. Maybe someone on /fit/ has even died from being retarded with DNP and overdosing.

>Do a split
I have bad news for you
>>35236992
They aren't left alone, though. You just see them before they get deleted.
>>35237059
Pretty much yeah, it's sad
When there's an event on it's okay, but otherwise it's a horrible place
>>35237073
>/fraud/
i completely forgot about that cesspool thread
>>35236938
Sounds Iike you feII for it.
>>35236881
>GOMAD
>Dont do curls
I think this. Also the obsession with squats.
Worst meme ever for normies is that roided physiques are achievable natty. 90% of normies think this as well. There was a girl at my work that wouldn't accept that a female bodybuilder was on roids, let alone fitness models
>>35237073
>The "do SS" meme is pretty up there.
Glad I never did SS because I know 95 percent of /fit/ is full of fat fucks or skinny nerds who don't even lift.
>>35237825
>Projecting
>>35236881
>you can eat eggs everyday
>you need roids to look like zyzz
>anabolic window is a myth
>plant protein is not as good as animal protein
>eating fat doesn't make you fat
>squatting is not bad for your knees, in fact is good, here's some study....
I think that's about it.
And don't get me started on the whole "you can't target fat loss"....
I get so pissed of at this...
>doing a bro split
Ffs, not doing a bro split is a meme, do you actually think fucking ppl or full body have 200% advantage over a bro split? They don't, they might have a little bit, but not enough to be significant in any way shape or form

why does everyone hate on GOMAD so much?
I started lifting at the end of september weighing 135 in super skelly mode. I did GOMAD for a month and a half. Now I'm 155.
GOMAD helped me want more and eat more calories after I stopped it
>eating the yolk is bad for you
>>35238009
can you actually target fat loss? please answer me and my belly :(
>>35238198
It's good for super skellys, but no one else.
>>35238009
>being this retarded
You are literally a meme human being.
>>35238009
>>35238254
Putting ice cubes on your belly helps losing stomach fat because it activates the parasympathetic nervous system.
Try it.

>>35236881
the low-carb meme.
it just supports the idea that some macronutrients are more important than others.
don't do cardio is pretty high up there.
GOMAD is legit for underweight skellies..
most people say to do fullbody and not to split, so idk if that is really much of a meme
and i don't do curls and my biceps are pretty proportional just from weighted chins.
>>35238009
>squatting is not bad for your knees
it 10000% is not bad for your knees, if you have proper form.
no knee cave, and no forward knee travel (At least not past the midfoot)
also the anabolic window is unadulterated horseshit

glorious trips of truth
>>35240384
But lots of trolls and memers suggest it to all newcomers
>>35236881
>No cardio kind of got me at first...
it's bro-science that seems legit.
But at the end of the day it really only suppresses micro-gains. You are burning fat as well and the body burns that off first before it's muscle. Fuck, I'm back to running 8-10 miles a week or some similar form of this exertion and feels good. Ultimately, do what works and responds for your body to get gains, period.
>>35240618
>>35240618
so mad :(
>>35236970
Seriously, how goddamn hard is it to eat back cardio calories while you're bulking?
