Help me with a list of common misconceptions

[Exodus]

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.

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...

If your ab muscles don't line up with each other you can 'straighten' them out by working one side more than the other.

Yep. I really heard this one.

I'll finish the line for you:...injecting a small dose of estradiol.

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.
