Anyone else have experience with terrible mom/dad logic when talking about fitness or nutrition? >Be me, wrestled in HS >Often had to cut to make a certain weight class >Dad tells me to eat less protein in order to make weight >Warns that if I cut to a certain weight class I would lose strength and under perform
I tried explaining to him that I wouldn't lose strength so long as I ate enough protein but he refused to listen to me.

This is the infamous "Military Diet"
Posted all over Pinterest and FB so lazy people can do it instead of eating right and exercising. Supposedly people in the military use it to make weight quickly, at least thats what it explains in the rules.

Jose Campbell
I grew up skinny as fuck. Like even though I was upper middle class, my mom just wouldn't make a lot of food. Would actively tell me to not get more food at dinner so that there were enough for leftovers the next day. When I graduated high school, I was about 5'7" 115 pounds.
My parents would often ask me or joke that I had an eating disorder.
Go to college with access to all-you-can-eat cafeteria, gain about 15 pounds and 2 inches of height by winter break, yeah in 3 months. When I visit home, parents start yelling at me because of how much food I'm eating, how it isn't possible for me to still be hungry, why am I eating so much food, I'm going to eat them into the poor house, when I was eating like, a normal amount or probably even less food than normal people eat
They sit there and act worried about how I don't eat much food, then when I do eat, they get angry at me for it
Unbelievable.

My parents told me that instead of taking my motorcycle to the gym for 4 days a week, I should instead take my bicycle and Go twice a week. Then I was informed that bikig includes a strenuous Ab and biceps work out. When I asked them how come I did not get any muscle Mass for over 6 years of biking 30km to school almost every day, I was told to shut up. I Have yet to meet one person here in the Netherlands that knows a lot about lifting.

There's this old dude (66) who runs like 10k everyday and also gives fitness advice on local TV, sorta like if Scooby was a cardio bunny.
He lives near me and we always catch up when i'm jogging at the park, since i'm a recovering fatty (started at 333lb now at 260) he always offers me fitness...advice.
>told me to grab a broom and move it around like a ninja to burn my love handles and back fat >told me to literally run for 2 hours a day so i can reach my goal faster (instead of, you know maybe eat 200 cals less a day) >Got upset when i told him that my goal was to reach my target weight (80kg since i'm 6'1) and start lifting >apparently he wants me to go fucking skelly mode (60kg) because i'll look more aesthethic
the weird thing is that he has never given me any sort of nutritional advice, maybe he doesn't know jack shit about that, crazy old man, but at least he's a fun guy to be around

I am 22 almost 23 I eat like shit and have more alcohol in my fridge than I can drink. I weigh less than 70 kilos. Maybe just don't stuff your face you fatass.
Hudson Morales
They're from a time before you could obtain unlimited information on whatever topic you want wherever and whenever you feel like, so obviously a lot of them just parrot the hearsay they learned when they were younger and to them correlation = causation.
You can find two or three dudes in a Planet Fitness at any given time who would be considered freakishly strong men by early 1900's standards because the average person just knows more shit at a given age as time goes on.
Alexander Reyes
Its a bit of a surprise but my parents have been super supportive of my lifting. Dad thinks whey is rhe same as Jack3d or those other dodgy preworkouts but w/e. I showed him Starting strength and he was interested although said something about be careful of my spine

I hope I don't turn into a stubborn, closed-minded, know-it-all uneducated prick when I get older. It feels like every old person I know is like this. Is it an ageing thing or were they always like this, and now have the false authority of age and a position of power in a relationship (e.g. being always right because they are parents) to lend legitimacy to their half baked bullshit?

Plz include me in the Reddit screen cap.
Diet plans are such a joke. Once you know the basics of macronutrients and what things are generally good and bad the only thing you need to succeed is willpower.
David Rodriguez
At work my boss always attempts to transfer workplace authority into conversational authority and its actually pretty frightening hearing her talk to coworkers, especially when it comes to diet which I know the basics. Theres always a weird moment when I shut down what shes saying because in her mind authority is authority and my coworkers somehow grant it? (she is not fit either). I tend to see those people as the most dangerous, just spreaders of misinformation.
Connor Wright
I was 9. What the fuck faggot.
Brandon Johnson
Try putting yourself into an artificially aged state. Then imagine being that way for decades, no respite, and it only becomes more severe. It's ridiculous.
Andrew Rivera
Yep, and nothing you can say to these people, they are always right and your lack of authority means you wouldn't be believed if you had 100 peer-reviewed studies to prove it. The only way to get anything through to them is to make them think they came up with the idea themselves, but that's pretty difficult to do.
Luke Myers
That's a good thing. The faster your metabolism and the more calories you consume and burn, the earlier you die.
You probably die to some shitty disease or accident before that matters, but theoretically it makes a big difference.
Cooper Hall

Most people fuck their knees up mainly from heavy leg extensions and running but for some reason squatting gets all the hate.
I'm pretty sure it's because squatting requires a modicum of effort and people look for any excuse to avoid it.

He has a fucking ridiculous metabolism, eats what he wants and is still fit. Sadly, he thinks everyone is like that and won't take "no thanks" for an answer.
