masturbating will give you hairy palms

no pain no gain

Not about strength training per se, but....
If I touch a weight heavier than 5lbs I'll get too muscular (women)
I'll get slow/It will hinder my athletic performance.

Misconceptions missed so far:
Women who don't juice can get big and bulky by lifting weights
Low reps=size, high reps=cuts
Training each body part once a week is ideal
Muscle can turn into fat after you stop training
I'll think of some more later...

My favorite, and one that I believed before I started training:
Squatting is bad for your knees.

big bench = big pecs - FALSE
Deadlifting is a dangerous exercise with very little carry over.
wrist straps make you stronger
the more you work your abs, the more ab packs you get. (ie, i only have a 6 pack, what can i do to get the bottom two?)
losing weight is harder than gaining.
i want to work the inside bicep head and not the outside one.
i need to isolate my upper inner peck quadrant.
powerlifters are just a bunch of fat guys
strongman is not a true test of strength.
bodybuilders are all show and no go.
thats all i got.

You need a pump for a muscle to grow.
FYI- My fav is the "I don't want to get too jacked" thing... I had a guy ask me some advice, and they say this $hit after I gave him what he asked....
I said, "dude, don't worry, not like it is going to sneak up on your a$$ one night while you are sleeping, trust me on this one..."
People are stupid...

You can shape your muscles by doing "sculpting" exercises...
Hydroxycut will melt off fat.
Low carb diets are required to lose fat.
Someone said Squats hurting knees and deadlifts being dangerous...
And people not wanting to get huge... that kills me.

That one pisses me off actually. Guys come up to me in the gym and ask for advice..."but I don't want to get as big as you..." Its like, look jackass, you are 160 ibs and natural. You just saw me step out of the squat rack after doing reps with 500 ibs. When start getting close to that, then tell me you are worried about getting too big. Like I just take creatine and play in the gym 2 or 3 times a week, doing 135 ibs squats and 95 ibs bench presses... and it just snuck up on me by accident.
Ok, honestly I don't actually say that. I'm a really nice guy, and talk alot more shit to people on EF than I do in real life. I'm nice to everyone, so, I usually just give them some honest and friendly advice, but sometimes I want to tell them something like that. I just hate being rude to people though, even when they deserve it.

I'm getting fat now so when I start working out, it will turn to muscle. My legs are already big enough, so I just bench and curl. I don't want to start working out, cause when I stop, it will all turn to fat. I don't want big muscles cause then the girls won't leave me alone (ok, that one's true)

haha FinipliX! Unfortunately I have the problem of being a nice guy as well =( Luckily Im usually able to scare a good deal of people with my appearence before they approach me. But once word gets around Im kinda fucked. hehe At the same time Im able to turn over on the spot, so peeps should play nicely...Little do they realize I may be fantasizing about tearing off thier fucking skin and eating them alive. But again Thats just not right........dilemnas dilemnas hahahaha
Do not carry heavy weights, ie , never do heavy squats or deadlifts because it will make ur spine bent and ur leg bones will compress and become shorter.
Pec-dec machine will make my pecs wider on the outer and make it look nicer.
Bending legs when doing bench press instead of putting it firmly on the floor as it will give more feeling to the chest.
Going down only 5 inches from the top on the bench press.
Drinking only milk post workout.
LOL

You might as well be pouring your protein in the sink if you are mixing it with water.

What's wrong with wearing spandex to the gym? Granted, if you are fat, you shouldn't wear it, but if you are a lean bodybuilder,why not?JOKER47 said:
Ok, I can just see a joke about my avatar coming... What can I say... I'm not bashful. I actually have a nude posted here, but it would be offensive to be naked in my avatar, so I have undies on.
