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

[jozifp103]

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?

a guy once told me to only do half cc of test e 250 twice and do 500mg of tren e a week and that i didnt even need a test because all it is, is a base for your stack

This is easy because it just happened. A guy claimed that if you start using steroids when you are very young, you will keep all your gains.

I learned that the hard way. I injected test prop in a calf muscle when I first started using ped's I had severe edema around the anklles for 4-5 days. Only made that mistake once.

i got a good one.. a guy told me that pct and having an ai threw your cycle wasnt really important and to save money... so like a noob i didnt read up and got bitch tits but thank god for letro

someone told me that if your a man, your a man, you feel like a man, and dont have to lift weights. and if your a pussy, you need to lift weights to compensate for the lack of self confidence.

We were talking about our peer who was a dedicated lifter, was fat as phuck, nearly zero muscle, but to them he looked like a 'bodybuilder'. But if i looked at him i could flat out tell he has low testosterone levels. Major self confidence issues, fat as phuck and walking around in a long sleeve tight shirt. He would get all red and bloated in the face and started shaking when he was asked to do the easiest social and cognitive tasks. He seemed to have tremendous confusion, brain fog and anxiety.

Anyways, the guy who was telling this was very talkative, VERY confident, calm, assertive, looked sharp, his mind was sharp, he was bald...every sign of high testosterone a person can have. The guys a primary school teacher and said that he tried fitness for half a year and then abandoned it..

the first guy i feel sorry for, the second was actually pretty cool to me, but little did he know how important hormonal state is..

ps: not really an advice, but just to tell a little story..

Back in 89, my senior year of high school, the "bro" at the local supplement store HIGHLY recommended me some Yohimbe Bark! He said I'd get strong as a bull and gain all kinds of muscle!! Shit, I lived with a freaking boner all of my senior year!!! No gainz...

I was drinking a protein shake at work and the fat boss that I had sees me and says " what are you one of those girly men that lifts weights and eats a lot of protein?"

I was like ??????????? wtf? So my reply was.... "are you serious right now or just joking cause I think you are joking but I just cant tell" and walked away.

 

[anzel]

Then I had a guy who basically runs a blast all year long tell me that you dont need to eat so much. Just eat normal like everyone else cause you will get fat.

Back in 96 a guy in my gym (he was short and fuzzy with red hair, no joke he looked like Alf) told me that if I can't get over 5k in cals in by the end of the day to just drink cooking oil, he swearn by it and said that its the calories that matter, fuck everything else...Really? Yeah it worked well for him, he was a train wreck.. Did he think for one moment that I even listened to anything he said?!?!?

Eww, 3600 cals in cooking oil? I'm cool man, my food would just slide out

 

[Southernfish]

I honestly havent had any bad advice given to me because I havent asked for much advice, and if I have it was from a person who I trust and who knows what theyre doing.

With that said. Calf injections?........definitely a bad idea lmfao, especially 1cc+.

Ohhhhhhhhhh gawwwwwd, I remember that going around!

Sheesh, the worst advice? Hmmmm, how about another doozy from the early 90's? "Plant sterols + whey + boron = being able to train your entire body every day". Yeah, Stu at GNC (you guys thought I made him up ) gave me that gem back in like 1992. Good times!

I third the calf shots being nooooooooooo bueno.

 

[Mad- scientist]

The worst advice I have ever read in my life about steroids is anything the so called "God of hormones" has ever told a beginner to start on.

Boron, I remember that chit...I was told to stack it with Chrysin, and this would make all gains keepable for LIFE..One guy said if you inject it in your balls it will keep you from shutting down..I read a study and he was kinda sort right,but in such a small scale it MAY increase test..Dude, I'm cool, I'll pass with the testicle injections!

Could you imagine!! Fuck me. That makes a calf shot sound like a pleasantry, which I can assure is not.
