yeah what the fuck.. What do you want to make your muscles out of, apples?

generally all these are e.g.s of people speaking too briefly, too shortly, too fucking little. by using a little scrape of information gives the kernel of an idea, but shit needs to be explained though. niggers hate explaining, but love to be judge and jury. don't be a nigger, explain fuckers the next time you rage.

even a short insult like above can suffice, to give the beginning of a short counter idea something is screwy.

I rage when fatties casually dismiss all your hard work as being lucky with good genetics. I was fat as shit before and it was ONLY through hard work and dedication that I was able to lose a lot of fat and put on some muscle.

i know have several friends who come to me for fitness advice and i advise them (everyone) to lift weights. their response is usually "duh, but i dont want to be huge".

i mean goddamnit. getting big is like playing majoras mask. it is like watching the moon slowly fall to earth. you will not wake up one day 200 lbs of solid muscle.

This.

Not exactly related, but it bugs me anyways. I hate it when people at the gym douse every inch of a machine they were using in the cleaning solution. All you need to do is spray a little then wipe your sweat off, you don't need to make sure that every square inch of it is soaked with ammonia.

-steroids are bad for you (only orals do liver damage, and SO WHAT. You drink all the fucking time. That does FAR more damage than steroids will do. Unless you run a trendalone cycle for 12 weeks at 60mg or something dumb like that, then you're just asking for it)
-spot reduction : any manner of it
-i don't wanna get too big (especially when girls say this) : you won't just wake up one day MOTHERFUCKER SHOULDN'T HAVE LIFTED SO HARD YESTERDAY
-eat less to lose weight : counterintuitive, i know, but eatmore, spread it out, speeds up your metabolism
-light weight tones : it doesn't tone is from fucking low bf
-skinnyfags insisting they have sixpacks when they're just fagpacks : you have to have muscle first retards
-skinny fat people thinking they're hot and in shape : you're not.
-doing more situps makes you more sixpacky (it's not quantity, it's QUALITYYY)
-"i eat so much but never gain" : motherfuckers if you ate more you'd gain weight and muscle. enjoy not making progress for the ENTIRE TIME I'M AT COLLEGE

That's not the reasoning behind the 'fat burning zone'.. you fucking mongloid... going at a steady rate (like 70%-80% of your max heart rate) is a great way to burn fat.

Building muscle does burn fat, indirectly. More lean tissue boosts your metabolism which in turns burns fat. So in a way this is true.
>> Anonymous
>>267379

The fat burning zone is somewhat true, in the zone a large percentage of the burned calories is fat than when going at maximum speed. Sure you burn more fat that way but in the carbs to fat ratio you burn less fat than in the zone

The biggest mistakes you can make are lifting your arms, and your back and not returning to your base position. Hands on the side of your head, push your abs down, so your lower back is flat to the floor when you raise yourself up. Otherwise you're just wasting time.

my favourite is how people think lifting weights make you have huge muscles. fuck thats so stupid. it's hard work.

i laugh at kids who think they "EAT SO MUCH" but "cannot gain musselz!!". Yeah, right. I thought it was a lot of food too, before I actually realised that i was a dumbass.

one of my best friends is a skinny kid who is actually pretty strong and actually can't gain weight.

when he was just starting to eat real food as a baby, his mom was a prostitute and drug-addict and only fed him avocadoes and an old energy drink. this is, literally, all he was given to eat for months.

now he can't gain weight.

Bulking and Cutting is no body building instant win it's only used by lazy faggots who don't have the proper motivation to have a healthy life style.

That's the point. He's wrong. There's actually much more risk of injury doing quarter squats and it doesn't engage the hamstrings, leading to imbalances.

Who knows more... Rippetoe or Scooby?

And then you're going to trust him about not bulking and cutting? You can bulk and cut between 8%-15% bodyfat and the rest of the world will never guess that you're "fat". Scooby makes cutting and bulking sound like growing obese is the object.

Compound exercises are good for muscle growth yes, but generally only in the muscle groups your using. You can squat with no fucking arms and it wont really make that big of a difference.

Deadlifts on the other hand id understand for arm/forearm growth.
