Bodybuilding myths that you used to believe were true...

[AllKindsOGains]

Ya'll ready for this? We all had to start somewhere and a lot of us probably believed in some pretty stupid shiit when it comes to building muscle. My funniest one was I had an older friend who I used to lift with, and he told me that if you ice your balls it kills sperm, so your body would have to produce more and therefore your test would increase. Had 3 guys at the gym agree with him who he didn't know. I ended up on the floor of my room with a bag of ice against my balls lolololol your turn?

[< <Samson> >]

Shit, I got pages

HCG Cuts you up

You get instant roid rage

You can turn fat into muscle

You will full on loose your marbles & go Benoit after getting on juice

No one does steroids any more

The cheapest cycle will cost you a thousand Bucks

Your muscles are fake and not the same as natural muscle

When you stop, you will get smaller than you were before you started

[derekkpapa1]

Turn fat into muscle I like that one

[jay94]

I used to believe that losing body fat is harder than gaining muscle.

[RaginCajun]

Turn fat into muscle I like that one

405 is the only one that knows how to do this, ask austinite

[Times Roman]

I started lifting when I was 12, so when Pops said something, I listened.

He told me you don't want to get too big else you will get "muscle bound" and you won't be able to take your shirt off or scratch your ear.

truth is, he didn't want to lift, and knowing how I stick to things for years on end, didn't want me to be muscular and something he would have to deal with one day.......

I would finally lose my virginity.

I see you still have that on your bucket list.

Are you getting any closer to being able to cross this one off the list?

[fatalflame]

That explains everything

[Honkey_Kong]

Bodybuilding might not remedy this, but an Asian massage parlor could.

Well my shoulder did make contact with a woman for about half a second on the subway this morning... That was pretty intense.

[zempey]

I thought if I trained hard enough I would get big naturally, hahaha how young and dumb I was.

That just means you need bigger shoulders so you can increase that to a whole second :-D

[lovbyts]

I though it would make me irresistible to Asian women.

Well DAMN, I guess some things are true.

No way you were able to walk after

[Tigershark]

The longer your training session the bigger you get.

[< <Samson> >]

The longer your training session the bigger you get.

Hey! That's partially true - kinda

Got another one - it meant being healthy - now, I know it's far far from it

[Metalject]

Myth: If I trained big and ate big I'd get big
Reality: I got fat and strong

Myth: You can do everything you want to do with diet and training.
Reality: You can't do everything you want to do without gear.

Myth: If you do more sets, you'll stretch out the muscles so they'll grow.
Reality: You'll be the guy in the gym that does 40 sets a day and always looks the same.

Myth: Cardio kills your gains.
Reality: Only you kill your gains. Cardio+Training (year round) = better results

Myth: You have to squat ridiculously heavy to build big legs.
Reality: You have to stimulate the leg muscles to build big legs. A lot of guys out there build big legs squatting in the 225-315 range and no more and do the rest with hacks and other movements.

Myth: You should always use full range of motion or you're cheating yourself.
Realty: Full range of mothin is a little different for everybody, arm length affects this a lot. On downward motions, if you're shoulders end up behind you, you went too far and took all the tension off the shoulders or chest. And going all the way on a press to where your tricps completely takeover is equally pointless. Find that range that keeps full tension on the muscle you're training. Do this and you'll be weaker than you realize you are. But in time, as those muscles become stronger you will pass your past sticking points significantly.

Myth: I have to spend hours a week on core exercises.
Reality: If you're lifting properly, nothing strengthens your core and overall development like BB military press, Incline press, squats and dead lifts. From there, do a little ab work if you want to. Some of the best looking bodybuilders I've ever known do not do a single situp or crunch.

Myth: Straps are for pussies and you're taking away from your back workout and neglecting your biceps.
Reality: My back training stay more proper, I can use heavier weight for that back training and focus all on the back muscles I'm hitting. I'll then worry about biceps when I train biceps.

Myth: If I take all the gear my favorite bodybuilder takes and train just like him I will be just as good as him.
Reality: I will still be me, a shadow of what he is. Why? His genetic response to gear is light years ahead of mine and nothing can change that.

Myth: You can't drink diet soda when dieting, it will make you fat.
Reality: You can drink all the diet soda you want when dieting - eating too many calories is what makes you fat.

When you guys first started, did anyone else figure "oh a couple months of this and I'll be totally jacked?" I really had it in my mind that I was different from everybody else who has ever lifted a weight. Boy was I wrong hahahahaa.

After my first cycle I was dumbfounded.... Couldn't figure out why I didnt look like I belonged on stage....

[< <Samson> >]

Don't know if I already said it

The lean mean look meant very healthy

It's the straight opposite

[kelkel]

After my first cycle I was dumbfounded.... ....

[Stigmata101]

You weren't building your diet around the McDonalds dollar menu were you?

[Honkey_Kong]

After my first cycle I was dumbfounded.... Couldn't figure out why I didnt look like I belonged on stage....

But yeah, I think I figured one cycle of Superdrol and I'd be at that same level.

[Haydenz]

I thought when I first started if I lost all my body fat I would be shreaded and look amazing,

Little did I know at 55kgs I looked like a ****ing hospital patient...

People asked me if i was ill.

[lucabratzi]

A friend told me that arnold had a disease called frankensteinitis from long term use of steroids . And that he had to get surgery to reduce his jaw, forehead and brow line. Oh to be young and naive

Sounds like an old wives tale.
