What is the worst advice you've gotten/heard someone get regarding bodybuilding?

This should be funny to hear.....


Just yesterday I was at the gym and I heard some 150lb future Mr O doofus trying to give advice to his 135lb protege. He said and I quote "Decline benching is more effective because all of your testosterone is stored in your leg muscles and when you elevate your legs it allows more test to flow through your system." I was mid squat and almost had to forfeit my set. I've heard many ridiculous things over the years but this one was just too much for me.


What are some ridiculous things you've been told, or heard someone say regarding bodybuilding or lifting in general?

I'm torn between laughing my ass off and feeling sorry for those kids!!! I've heard some dumb stuff over the years but nothing that compares to that!!!!

Haha LMFAO!

It always bugs me when I hear dudes being told to take way more gear than they need to! And I almost never hear anyone referring them to PCT!

[Fongy]

Yep that could very well be the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. I can see them now, going home and keeping their legs elevated, going to bed with their legs elevated, sex with legs elevated. Absolutely ridiculous!!

Woa were to they come with this shit?

I had some young fella ask me to spot his bench the other day. He hit his 8 reps that he wanted without to much help form me so im like common bro pump out a couple more and hes like 'no i didnt get much sleep last night i dont want to go to hard'

Eh? Shook my head

They always do it while we're in mid squat too!

Its usually that group of 3-5 that have been training together for 6 months, with 10% body fat yet can squat bodyweight.. They have the classic advice

One thing that kills me is when they instruct the worst deadlift form as if they actually know what they are talking about.. So many slipped discs so many injuries

That is ridiculous but not surprising! People are freaking idiots!! What ever happened to getting an experienced lifter to give advice?! Geez!! Maybe that's why some lifters have such skinny legs and developed tops that do not match! They sat upside down too long!! ROFLAO!
