ITT: fitness myths that refuse to die

>Lifting gets you laid

*fitness myths that deserve to die but refuse to

>getting fit cures autism

Is there really no hypertrophy rep range when we're talking about isolation tho ?

>>40952512
>1 pound of protein per pound of bodyweight
this is true though

>>40952548
>not eating an entire tub of protein mix per lb of bodyweight

You can stop thinking you're going to make it.

>>40952521
Not quite myths but annoyances based on ignorance.

>Muh genetics, Can't gain any muscle
>Muh job, Dont have time

Nope. Total training volume is the only thing that dictates your growth. Now that being said, I think we'd all agree that a set of 8 for curls is better than a set of 3. It just comes down to safety tho, I've seen plenty of guys max out on curls.

>>40952586
I don't see anything wrong with that you sissy

>>40952512
if not 1g protein per lb then what

>>40952612
Per kg

>>40952607
So i, as an 220lbs dude should eat 220lbs of protein?

>>40952625
Yes. Per day. Obviously.

...Just what the fuck

>>40952625

Yes.

>>40952512
> Strength =/= size

This one is true. I'm strong enough to close grip bench 3plate for reps, yet my arms are only 17 inches.

>>40952702
>bench is supposed to increase biceps
>biceps help extend your arms

I SHIGGY DIGGY

Eccentric movement is important and a big contributor to muscle building

Hypertrophy rep range exists

rest i agree with

>>40952712
>biceps is the bigger muscle in the arm
>antagonists dont promote each other

>>40952712
a common bbing rule is that tri work makes up 2/3 of arm size, bi work 1/3

>>40952777
I have doubts.

>>40952512
>Genetics don't play a huge role

This is true but I feel like people also use this as an excuse to not try at all

>>40952796
so it's not a myth then, retard

these are true tho

> Slow negatives build more muscle

time under tension is literally the reason why hypertrophy is not 5 reps

> The "hypertrophy rep range"

is legitimate. You get more hypertrophy from 8-12 reps than you would 1-5, this is established fact

> Strength =/= size

strength = CNS
size = hypertrophy

different things, anybody that has lifted over a year will tell you the same

> Mind-to-muscle connection

literally CNS development. Same reason trainers use "cues" to help lifters do certain things mid lifts

I hope you're just trolling or I promise you have been lifting for less than one year

>>40952512
>roids are bad for you

>calories in, calories out

>>40952512

Muscle recruitment is real tho...

>>40952548
Not even close to true

>30 gr protein per meal

>>40952625

If you don't want to be dyel forever, yeah

>>40952809

Your reading comprehension is a bit lacking friend

I responded it's TRUE that it's a MYTH that genetics don't play a huge role, because clearly they do

>>40952512
>Negatives
That's true to an extent
>Hypertrophy rep range
Proven in studies.
>Strength =/=size
You can't be an elite lifter without being "big" but I know a guy who weights 60 lbs less than me the lifts way heavier. Easily three times his weight for his dead lift.

>Mind to muscle connection
Also true to an extent

>Pulldowns
Different exercises work different muscles. Obviously.

>>40952518
I got 0 sex before I started lifting

I got 1 sex after I started lifting

>>40952809
Well he's obviously talking about the percentage of people that don't believe the "myth"

>>40952512

> Strength =/= size

But this is true. A lot of chinese powerlifters weigh ~65kg and are DYEL as fuck but lift 3x more than you do.

>>40952825
You are so fucking stupid I'm not sure if you're even trolling

>>40952791
How can you doubt the luck trips of truth brah?


Do you even want to make it?

>>40952607
Enjoy your fucked organs and toxic shits dumbass
