ITT the worst piece of broscience you ever heard
I'll start
>you gotta do cardio for more than 40 minutes because fat starts burning at that point
>>36508001
>gotta change your routine at least 1 a month to confuse the muscles
And unfortunately this didn't come from the piano man, just your average gym bro who to this day looks like shit even when he started going to the gym a year or 2 before me.

>>gotta change your routine at least 1 a month to confuse the muscles
>And unfortunately this didn't come from the piano man, just your average gym bro who to this day looks like shit even when he started going to the gym a year or 2 before me.
that meme is old school. Have you seen dodgeball?
>>36508001
Anything with the words 'functional strength'
>>36508001
stepdad:
>If you drink your protein shake more than 30 minutes after you're done working out it's useless
>>36508001
>Pull the bar behind your neck, it's a shoulder exercise
>Lat pulldown machine
>Shoulder exercise
I triggered so hard I had to go and bump some squats to ease all that rage
1g of protein per lbs
>>You can only have 1 protein shake a day bro
>>36508154
oh boy, get ready to face the wrath of every guy here on fit who have been lifting for less than a year and who wouldn't possibly have made their massive gains without following that "rule".
>>36508154
not saying your're wrong, but how much protein should you actually eat ?
>>36508234
1g a kg.
Saw an older cousin at the gym the other day, was his first time working out in a few months.
The next day I saw him at a family party >oh man I'm so sore from yesterday!
Really? Shit man I feel great and I lifted a lot of weight
>woah that means you're plateauing!
Is that why I hit a bench press pr yesterday and have been making steady gains every week?
>... Uhhh
>>36508001
>falling for the powdered jew meme
Literally the worst if youre starting out fatmode, its all fat gains and gyno
>>36508250
maf hbt siht
>>36508296
what is fitting your macros
>>36508306
Honestly what worked best was switching any bread intake with oats and eating more lean proteins like turkey, chicken and tofu. I dont even have to eat a rediculous amount to make gains but you can make natty gains on food if youre an fat
>>36508250
really? just feels like it would actually be hard to not exceed that while bulking
>>36508234
About .5 - .7g per pound of bodyweight
>>36508296
I am new here. Could you explain please?
>>36508234
I think as long as you make sure protein intake is higher than fats and carbs are relatively low and simple you'll see gains, i dont think its an issue of quantity
>>36508331
Protein powder. You dont need it, it helps if you're super skinny but if youre someone that tends to put on fat easily dont use it. Itll make you fat and give you man boobs
>>36508331
some people bitch out that protein powder is just a product for the jews to make money
you'll be fine using it as long as you know how to fit your macros and use it moderately, it is not meant to replace foods but for making you achieve certain required grams of protein per day
>>36508001
>I think as long as you make sure protein intake is higher than fats and carbs are relatively low and simple you'll see gains, i dont think its an issue of quantity
>>36508377
Kek. Broscience advice in a broscience thread. How meta.
>>36508001
Don't drink protein shakes, first you gotta shred the fat you got, then you can build muscle.
>>36508377
Kek
>>36508400
Thats not entirely untrue, if youre fat to begin with the protein shakes will make you fatter
>>36508412
>Will
Sure, you're shit at macro management.
>>36508366
Is this really true? I started drinking protein shakes just to get energy when I wasn't working out and I feel like I got some man boobs
>>36508444
Macros. Watch them better.
>>36508001
> You lose fat in the area your muscles are being trained.
So if you wanna lose bellyfat, you gotta work the abs.
I hear this too often
>>36508467
So I went over probably yea?
>>36508444
I have 1 shake with milk on my rest day and 2 shakes 6 days a week. For about 2 years. Dunno where the fuck y'all get gyno from. Maybe train harder.
>>36508421
Thankfully most fatties keep track of calories and macros and made the conscious choice of eating at a surplus which is why they got fat
>Lifting burns more calories than cardio bro
Sure Anon... that's why you're not only overweight due to your muscle mass, but you're borderline morbidly obese because you still got all that fat.
>inb4 someone says perma bulk.
>>36508500
I stopped going to the gym during that period when I was drinking them cause I as having 2 hour avg sex like every other day thought I didn't need to workout so that probably was why
>>36508493
If you're not using the extra protein it will be stored as fat due to the body saving energy for later if caloric needs are already met.
>>36508444
>>36508500
Yes its true, the dairy they derive the whey from comes from cows pumped full of hormones to make them lactate more frequently. Some of the hormones make it through and if taken in large quantities can cause gyno.
>>36508519
Nah bro. Also,
>Protein for energy
Why? Carbs are much better source of energy was all you wanted.
>>36508193
Elliot Hulse said that rule is bs, and I'm pretty sure that he can outlift you.
>>36508535
>Large quantities
How large? 2 years of whey here and no sign of gyno ever.
>>36508556
He wasn't arguing against the rule, learn to reading comprehension.
>>36508561
I mean it depends on how your body reacts to the hormones but it can happen. Everyones different fambini
>>36508583
Hoo boy. That's unsettling.
Protein ain't that bad guys; I'm eating at a 1000 calorie deficit, and I use it to keep my protein macros high since I don't have an unlimited supply of chicken breasts and fish.
>>36508533
>>36508535
I thought protein shakes were giving me energy but it was probably other stuff I mixed in with the shakes like fruit. When I got noticed more boobs was when I'd just take the shake with water which was probably the cause lol fuck
>you don't need to do an exercises if you do squats and deadlifts
There are retards on here who believe this
>all that fats just gonna turn to muscle, bro
>>36508597
Thats the proper way, its supposed to supplement a lack of protein not become a main source
>>36508618
I fell for this meme. Massive improvement since I started directly targeting abs.
>>36508620
>When you stop working out all your muscle turns into fat
>doing squats will just fuck up your back, stick to the leg press its much safer
>>36508372
I use it everyday as a meal replacement for lunch. It's just less of a hassle.
>>36508556
with roids and prohormones everyone can
Awhile ago at work I overheard someone say not to eat carbs because the body doesn't know how to dispose of them.
>>36508618
care to elaborate?
>>36508148
I've heard it's optimal to drink it within 30 mins from multiple sources. But I know fuck all about health and fitness outsude if what I get from the Internet
>>36508618
Elaborate pls.
Currently 6months in stronglifts and I feel its lacking abs exercises. Would adding ab exercises plus low intensity cardio on rest days effect my main lifts on my workout days???
>need help /fit/
>>36508347
except that you're not going to see any gains if you're not eating enough everything, including protein, therefore it is an issse on quantity
>deadlifts?! isn't that like crossfit strongman stuff? haha I only care about physique bro
>proceeds to bench press
>>36508792
It might, but unless you training for some PL competition or something, the overall benefits of doing some ab exercises and cardio greatly outweigh the negatives
>>36508792
You should add some accessories to SL after a couple months, things like Chin-up, Pull-ups, ab supersizes etc. Doing cardio is fine.
>>36508792
Def do ab exercises or you'll slowly compress your inguinal canal and become infertile
>>36508633
Or the other way round.
> Its good i am fat, i will have an easier time building muscle, because my fat will be used for that.
>Bench press gives you a big chest
Kek
>>36508867
Pause bench is pretty good for chest size.
>>36508650
But that's true anon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_2JPn6gbKM
Not sure if already posted but had someone say this to me a few days ago and i hear it all the time.
>no anon, youre doing it wrong. If you want to lose weight you have to eat 6 small meals a day.
>>36508867
>doing exercise that mainly targets chest
>your chest wont get big bro
are you high ?
>>36509365
>Targets chest
Flat bench works chest just about as much as cheat curls work your lower back.
>>36508818
>>36508821
>>36508845
Thank you I will add ab exercises and low intensity cardio right after(15+min inclined walk) to my rest days. I already added chin-ups to my B day in stronglifts and those are going up steadily however I shied away from dips because I always had this burning sensation on my right clavicle, definitely want to do them but my form is shit and afraid im going to snap something.
What do you guys think about calve exercises? Should I add them to the rest day?
>>36509345
Not really bro-science. Some people have a hard time going from the 4000-5000 kcal they use to eat to the 2000 they need to eat to loose weight. So to minimize their hunger they eat 6 small potions throughout the day, ensuring that there doesn't go to many hours between their meals. Personally i hate it, I just never feel full if I eat small potions like that.
>>36509399
i got news for you, you're benching wrong
>only eat up to 30g of protein at a time or else it just passes through you and is wasted
>>36508001
>if your workout takes more than 45min you'll lose all your gains
>>36509445
top kek I've heard this one too, like they workout was limited to certain time instead of focusing on working certain stuff no matter how long it takes
>>36509436
also the "anabolic window"
>>36508515
>overweight due to your muscle mass
>>36508234
>>36508327
keking at all of the "power lifters" that have been working out for 2 months
The point of eating 1 gram per lb of body mass, is that you can absolutely be 100% sure you're eating enough protein.
Can you be live on .8 gram of LBM? Sure. But why take a chance?
>>36508250
Do you mean lean body mass or whole bodyweight? That would also be important. Some would say only lbm counts.
>>36509491
I always like to go a little more just to make sure, that 35 extra grams would be like 2 steaks only, why the hell not? meat is delicious
>>36508323
Feel free to exceed it, but studies suggest that range is what your body can efficiently use. I guess the reasoning considering that is complex carbs and your good fats would be better alternatives for energy than protein.
>>36509491
Also, isn't it a kind of a psychological thing to get skeles to eat more?
This is the worst thread I've seen on /fit/. Proof that fit is more cancerous than anything.
>>36509541
Not necessarily. Protein can be more filling because it takes a longer time to break down than carbs. So you might actually eat less throughout the day
>>36509546
yeah you want a medal with that or something? gtfo newfag
>>36508650
>leg press
>safer
someone post the woman who turned her knees out on the leg press.
>>36508234
1.8-2.2 grams per kilogram.
>>36508250
>>36508327
Do this if you hate muscle mass.
>>36508001
>protein shakes are everything you're gonna need
>>36509617
Pls don't
>>36508795
Well, yeah obviously you need to have a calorie surplus but i dont think theres a magic number for protein intake, it just needs to be higher.
>You can't gain weight because you don't have any fat to turn into muscle
Wut
>>36509576
>being so pretentious you call people newfag on /fit/.
Wow.
>>36509345

you only need .7 per lb maximum. you should be doing your calculations by lean body mass anyways
>>36509617
yeah but that's because she was a retard. if you lock your knees on leg press then you'll probably lock your knees on squat as well and the same result will come about
>>36508001
cardio kills gains
>>36508154
>>36508250
Rippetoe mentions in his book "Practical programming for strength training" that 1g per kg is based on the average person and national guidelines. He then argues that since the average population is sedentary, that's the protein they need. An active trainee would need more protein in order to fuel the anabolic processes of muscle training and weight lifting.
Several studies have also shown that a protein intake of up to 2g per kg or higher isn't damaging to your health so you're not any worse off if you take 1g per lbs of bodyweight.
I'd rather consume too much protein than too little and risk losing all my gains desu.

> you cut your calories and your body stores more fat as a reaction that's how you gain weight
>>36508533
Nope. The body cannot and I repeat, cannot store excessive protein as fat. How would it do that? It's fucking protein.
If you do however, eat all kinds of macros at an excess you will, as you've probably realized, get fat.
If you were to only eat protein all day, you wouldn't. It's the mix.
>>36508090
I saw some bb.com video about Arnolds routine (In the 80s or so) just to see what kind of meaningless tips someone like him would have for DYELs and he actually said this, he had to confuse the muscles, he said that he had to trick them (those damn sneaky smart muscles and their tricks) and therefore changed his routine. I fucking lmao'd so hard
>>36509956
yeah with the heavy cocktail of roids he was taking, he could still do the most retarded brosplit and still get huge
>>36508154
>>36508250
I eat more protein, less carbs because dead animals are more filling than bread so it's easier for me to stay under my calorie goal as I'm trying to get down to a healthy weight. Is that bad?
>>36509941
In all likelyhood it doesn't happen, but it could under the right circumstances:
>the biochemical pathways for the conversion of protein to fat do exist in humans
>the conversion of carbs to fat (a process called de-novo lipogenesis or DNL) can happen
>if protein were going to be converted to fat, it would first have to be converted to glucose and only if the amount produced were then in excess of daily maintenance requirements would there be conversion to fat

>>36508136
Maybe it's because I'm new here, and I get that it's broscience, but what the fuck is functional strength even supposed to mean? How is more muscle mass not "functional?" Maybe if you were, say, exclusively working out your arms and ignoring everything else, but otherwise?
>>36509977
Exactly what I thought, he praises some old school exercises (not that Flys are bad) but it doesn't matter, if you're on HGH and Test from the age of 15 you can do anything even the most useless shit that just hits your muscles with some load and make mad gains, I mean most people (Normies for our /r9k/ audience) probably already know that he is/was on roids but they still don't know how much it actually affects your body
>>36508250
>>36508234
>>36508154
If you live in America you do 1g per lb
If you're Europran or use Metric you do 1g per kg
Simple.
>>36510041
Because a pound and kilo is the same.
>>36510020
An example: squats or deadlifts have more carry-over to picking something random off the floor.
So they can be seen as more functional, or having more carry-over to daily life activities.
>>36508001
>>36599999

>>36510083
it's a joke, you kikes
>>36510020
do you seriously have to have it explained to you?
>>36510020
It's a meme, the only real point "functional strength" could maybe be related to is when you get people who can only half rep something or don't have full ROM(range of motion), so they are then handicapped in some sense because their muscles aren't able to do something but it's still pointless anyway because even then, when they are strong enough they can do most likely anything except for stretching in weird ways
>>36510106
I figured so, but I just wanted to point this out to our dumber visitors
>>36510041
>>36510127
It is a meme, but there's truth to it too.
For example, people with shoulder issues often have incorrect movement patterns of their shoulderblades.
Only strengthening the surrounding muscles doesn't always help.
They need to practice the correct movements too.

Slutscience? Cuntscience? That shit is infinitely worse than broscience. Being in college I hear tons of dumb shit from women.
>you shouldn't drink blended fruits/veggies! you burn less calories because your body doesn't have to work to digest it!
>I don't run outside during winter because I don't sweat as much which means I'm not burning fat!

>>36510285
>whole pizza 600 calories
It would have to be a small pizza.
>>36510062
Europeans can't afford protein.

Yeah, would've been a really really greasy pizza then, kek.
You can lose weight while eating pizza though, IIFYM and all.
Still agree it's not a good idea.
guys what you do,you follow a diet?you go IIFYM,or you just dont give a fuck and eat

Muscle mass is still weight, and getting YUGE means you're expending a stupid amount of calories just moving around and maintaining that mass. Actual "functional strength" is just the middle ground between skeletor and Mr. Universe.

>>36508001
There's a bit of truth in that though.
After 25 minutes of nonstop aerobic exercice, your body burns the stored fat
>>36512705
NO
Your body burns fat when you fucking burn more calories in excess of what you eat.
If you eat 2000 calories and burn only 1800 in a day you're not burning shit.
>>36510266
>you shouldn't drink blended fruits/veggies! you burn less calories because your body doesn't have to work to digest it!
Technically true, but not enough to the point where it'll make any difference in body composition.
>>36512207
What do you mean "dry?"
>>36512718
you burn calories just being alive, look up "Basal Metabolic Rate"
if you eat 2000 calories and burn 1800 through running you're almost starving yourself

Overweight has nothing to do with fat.
Overweight means you're an unhealthy weight for your skeletal structure.
>>36513166
you answered your own question. Women are smaller, so 10 Ilbs of fat doesn't have as much room to spread on a woman as it does a man. Also, women in relationships tend to eat as much as their partner, so they eat more than they should. plus, we're usually lazy

Idk. I went from 5'10 185lb with maybe 22% bf to 195 with 10% bf and the difference is amazing, visually as well as strength wise. I don't bulk/cut and I make good gains. Not saying I'm super strong buy I went from .5/.75/1/1 to 1/2+/3/3.5 in about 9 months
>>36508597

Heard this before as well. I think it even has bro science underlying it, I've been told before that if you repeatedly do one type of exercise your body will adapt to only doing that exercise and so you wont get as much benefit from it after a while
>>36510266
Clamscience seems to be mostly informed by what they see on the covers of tabloid magazines. Both my sisters try to give me diet and exercise advice, while both of them half ass the occasional work out and enjoy eating shit like ice cream and cake. Their advice is usually along the lines of
>you eat too many eggs, youre gonna have high cholesterol
>you eat too much red meat youre gonna get heart disease
>whats the point of trying to gain weight if youre working out as well?
>are you sure youre doing the right exercises (I train mostly alone in home gym)
>how do you know youre doing it properly if you dont have a class/ instructor?
Women generally lack the motivation and drive to exercise for themselves. That's why its so easy to sell them on bullshit spin classes and stuff like that, because it doesnt really count unless other people see you do it. A female friend of mine has 'started working out again', has been to the gym once, took pictures of the gym to prove she was at the gym, bought a couple pairs of Nike shoes and a bunch of those retarded bright workout clothes, complained about how sore she was after, and made a point of telling me about 'eating clean' and the Activia challenge; literally eating some yogurt everyday. That's what constitutes a challenge for your average woman.
Yeah I'm mad.

no, you misunderstand what I mean. the bro science was saying that your body would change to specialize at that exercise, not that you would actually get stronger overall, as doing db press wouldn't help your bench

>Apples contain everything you need to survive and get fit, so you should only eat apples for 3 days
>This will get you fit
Annoying girl on facebook went on the apple diet, and told me I wasn't a PT when I told her it wouldn't work. What's more, she was doing it to get "fit" and healthy for a trip to Thailand. She legit couldn't grasp that less fat didn't equal being healthier. She saw absolutely no way that losing what little muscle mass she has (along with a tiny bit of fat) would make hiking and carrying heavy packs harder.
As for more traditional broscience:
>You need to go jogging on the treadmills for 15 minutes before squatting or any other lifting
>This is the secret to growing big
>It shocks your muscles
Heard that one from a guy who was told it by a "PT" at my gym. The PT was not actually a PT, just a swim instructor for the pool attached. He was also fat and balding at 40.

Thank god, at last! I've bee struggling with squats for months, back, front, deloaded, form check, atg, parallel to floor, no matter what I tried, I get back pain as soon as I reach bw-10kgs, never been able to reach the limit of my leg strenght, because back can't handle it.
I switched to pistol squats, jumping squats and kettlebell swings and it's fine, legs and glutes are juicy, no back pain.
Men in my family all have bad backs, nut I had never made the connection.
Based Gooby.
>>36508001
OPs pic is the fucking worst, i knew a grill who deliberately kept herself dehydrated because she gained weight from water, and as a result felt like utter shit all the time.
>>36514109
Don't have a true before but here's 3 months in
>>36513166
Biologically speaking, women carry more fat for the potentiality of nurturing and bearing a child. Men don't have the same need for it.
>>36514109
"After" about 11 months in
>>36508001
But that's true, you fucking retard
>>36514109
Back "after"
Don't mean to derail the thread (lol like thst isn't every single thread since 2010). But I just want to say that bulk/cut isn't the only way. Not saying my gains are amazing but I didn't dedicate more than the average person and did ok.
>>36508001
>girls will excuse fat powerlifters for their preggo looking belly as long as they can squat 3 plates
>>36515192
Just to clarify I was at about 10%bf at maybe 10months in. Obviously when the "after" pic was taken I was back up to maybe 15-18%. Yeah I gained all that bf in 2 months. I fell for the bulk meme. It didn't help people. It may for some, just saying it's not the only way to go.. Again.
>>36515183
Did you even lift?
>>36515219
>I fell for the bulk meme.
Reminds me
>The body will turn fat into muscles
Do tell me that's broscience, I can't fathom in what world that would make sense.
>>36515227
Not saying fst turn Into muscles. Not at all.
Just saying you can lose fat and build muscle at the same time mostly due to noob gains. And if you lose one while gaining the other .. Well you'll stay close to the same weight. Makes sense to me

Functional strength means doind lifts that can translate well into real life activities, like deadlifts and picking stuff off the floor.

Europeans weigh 2.2x less than Americans so it's ok
>>36508001
>>you gotta do cardio for more than 40 minutes because fat starts burning at that point
Oh my god, I've actually heard that one. 'For fat burning, do 40+ of cardio at low intensity only (very important!)'. Otherwise....I guess nothing happens?
>>36515302
I can't tell if you're joking or not but yes..
>Dat feel when you don't know if people asking you if you take steroids is poking fun at the fact that you clearly don't, or look like you do

>>36508090
I was talking to a Football strength coach at Uni and he said they change the workout every 4 weeks because you subconsciously are lazyer/weaker doing the same exercise over and over and push yourself less
>mmmmakes sense to me?
>>36513522
he didn't say there were "sugar calories" and normal ones, you're deliberately misrepresenting what he said.
>>36515390
Dude of course he's making fun of you you're a fucking twig, do you honestly think you have any size whatsoever?? Can you even DL 2 plate?
>>36515183
You shouldn't bulk without actually working out, anon.
>>36515408
Never said I thought I was huge. Just that the way people talk about bulk/cut, you'd think doing it was the only way. I think the difference between even 3 months and ~11months was very noticeable visually as well as strength wise.
I am not stronk but 3-5 rep max is about 1/2.5/3/3.5. For 10 rep is about 1/2/3/3+
>>36515427
Lol yeah as I said I fucked up the month or two before that picture by trying my first bulk. I added a ton of bf while basically gaining the same muscle as before. Regret it like crazy. And thus, I spread my message that while bulk/cut make work for some, it's definitely not for all
>>36515408
Let's see some pics big guy

>>36508366
The fuck you say. Protein powder helps you maintain your weight and lean muscle mass. It's also more filling per calorie than carbs. A lot of people use it to lose weight. Maybe you should stop posting.
>>36508412
Uh, no.
>>36508001
>you gots ta eats ur meat to get enuff proteen

Yeah, except that doesn't work because you're still full from your previous meal when you try to eat your next. Three big as fuck meals with no snacking / BS between was soooo much easier. I'm sure it works well when you DON'T have appetite issues.
>>36509693
This.
>why don't you just gain fat and then turn it into muscle
>>36508001
had a 300+lb hambeast in my class try to explain to his ham-companion that most of his weight is lean mass, and the lightest he could weight would be roughly 275lb. hes 6'1 btw, and even his hamfriend didnt look like he was buying it
>>36510316
I always blot supermarket pizza's. Because the fat just sitting on top of it is pretty gross, I don't want to eat wet pizza, nor do I want those calories when it doesn't even taste good.
But yeah, pizza is not good cutting food.
>>36512038
>Uses science to explain himself
>This guy is a idiot
How about you fuck out of here?
>>36509751
It's more effective than doing cardio on a full stomach but my understanding is you won't be burning just pure fat on an empty stomach.
>>36515341
Or working your triceps so you can punch people in the face.

also not technically broscience but lots of girls coming into the weight room, do 1 set of 5kg goblet squats, a set of 2.5kg dumbell curls, some barbell hip thrusts in the smith machine and then stretch for 30 mins
