It might just be the gym I belong to, but I overheard some of the stupidest comments in the gym. Overheard conversations from the previous week:
Conversation 1:
NewGuy: "So what supplements do you take?"
GuyClearly"training"him:"I take a bunch of everything, the best thing I take though is a prohormone"
NG:"whats that?"
GCTH:"Its like a steroid but without side effects, its legal and safe."
NG:"Ill look into them"
Coversation 2 (as I am squating, similar situation to previous)
NG: "should I be doing that exercise?"
Partner: "No, he is probably just training to be a powerlifter or for an event, isolated exercises are superior to all body exercises" (This is hilarious because I am far from big looking)
NG: "Oh ok"
Coversation 3:
1: I have been working on my diet, I eat nothing but eggs and protein powder, my trainer told me to avoid carbs and fats that are not from eggs"
2:Yea the faster you dedicate yourself to eatting like that consistently, the better you'll gain"
1:I have been trying to calculate what calorie intake I should be using.
2:I go with 2000 calories, this is my prime calorie intake because it causes me to cut fat and gain muscle.
The worst part is that these guys for the most part are primarily big. Is it just that they have been doing it long enough that they were sure to eventually gain? Its kinda crazy what misinformation is out there.
P.S. Thank you guys for providing me material to know what really works.
