What's the dumbest/funniest thing you've done in your quest for a better body?

[Freak Show]

It can be a training technique/style, some gimmick product, fad diet. You can say some supplement, but just about everyone of us has fallen prey to these. I'm lookin for something totally off the wall you've tried.

Mine's not that crazy, but stupid to me nonetheless. I remember for like a week I would take a spoonful of peanut butter, put it under my tongue for a few minutes, spit and repeat. I was at this stage where I was desparate to gain weight. I heard it would release insulin. All I knew back then was, "insulin can make you big." Even if its true, that's just a stupid ass idea. If I think hard, I'm sure I can come up with better ones.

The dumbest thing I've ever done is gone without squatting and deadlifting for the first year and a half of my training. Thank God I learned better.

Dont laugh.... ok When I was a buck fifteen I used to lift this 5 pound D-bell and do 500-1000 reps without stopping. Hehe the good ole days. I also did 1000 push ups a day then. My push up record as I vividly remember is 250 push-ups nonstop.

Using too many machines, and not enough free weights.......

It's just too embarrassing ... I can't tell you. But, it's funny. Maybe when I know you guys better.

Okay, here it is stud:

Whenever I go out dancing, I find a hidden place near the club and do push ups for 20 minutes so that I'm pumped when my shirt comes off.

Sad, isn't it?

Man, can it be more than one?
Lets see,
Starving myself (went from 195lbs to 150 in 6 mo.)
Training same body parts every day for 5 days a week
Not doing squats
Over eating and partying while on a cycle

I think that's about it. I always gotta learn the hard way.
Though I don't really regret starving myself too much. I know I lost mass but shit I was just fat fat so it didn't matter. People who didn't see for a while before I lost the weight thought I was sick.
