What is the stupidest gym advice you have ever heard?

[crmdogg]

probably the stupidest thing ive been told in the gym is by this dipshit who dosn't know anything about gear and was trying to sell me some eq. He told me eq would just make me big hard and ripped without holding water, i could take it up to the day of the show. I told him i wanted to take winny cause it dosn't hold water and makes you hard and he said "bullshit who did you hear that from, ive got a book that says blahblahblah, ect, ect. You get the point. And then to top it of he says he got the eq for $400 and would sell it to me for $200. This was 1 vial of 10ml 100mg/ml, i mean come on get real.-Josh

The Janitor once told me

Don't ever smell the crotch of womans underwear, leotard, or bicycle pants. especially when you see an unattended Gymbag in the womens locker room

I'm glad to see the tradition of Socrates living on.

"It is unhealty to use heavy weights for training. That is why our whole gym only has 2 plates of 15 kilo and not more. Free squats are bad for your knees, so we don't have a squat rack."

I was told this by some broad working for a gym when I was looking for a new gym in my area.

-----Leg Presses are more effective than Squats because you can lift more weight----

I told him.... "hmm... I never do leg presses and I have much better legs than you, maybe you should give squats a chance?" he tells me they are bad for your back and cause arthritis.

This coming from a guy who just watched me squat 405 for a set of 15 rock bottom, while he had 22 plates on the leg press doing something similar to a knee spasm where the knees barely unlock and then return to the locked postion. What a fucking asshole.

WTF?

This is true.

i was thinking that same thing!

Oh... here is another one.... Some guy told me that Winstrol was awesome for joint problems and will fix them right up. I said... "you mean Deca right." He said "No way, Deca is bad for your joints, Winstrol works wonders."

Yeah...low reps build mass, but, not without doing a couple of warm up sets first and maintaining perfect form. I know I wasted countless hours in the gym lifting super heavy and doing only 4-6 reps per set. Sorry...all that does is give you one of those " weird" looking gym bodies that every other guy has..no symmetry, no cuts ,no veins. So just " lifting heavy" leads to nothing but blocky, undefined mass and increases the risk of injuries...there, now let the flames begin.

One instructor at my gym tried in several ways to explain that clen would "oxygen" my blood, when I asked him to explain he came up with some shit like "no no no the pill actually takes oxygen to your muscles"
LOL then I asked if they were used to reduce BF and he said "that's just bull and hype"

There is NO such thing as keeping steroid gains.
They ALWAYS disappear.
