ITT: fitness myths that refuse to die

> Slow negatives build more muscle
> The "hypertrophy rep range"
> Strength =/= size
> 1 pound of protein per pound of bodyweight
> Mind-to-muscle connection
> Genetics don't play a huge role
> Vertical pulls to build width, horizontal pulls to build thickness
> Wide grip pull up = wide back
> Wide grip bench = wide chest
> Overtraining isn't real

Feel free to add to this, I feel this should be stickied even

>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 ?

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

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

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

Not quite myths but annoyances based on ignorance.

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

>1 pound of protein per pound of bodyweight

>1 pound of protein per pound

>1 pound of protein

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.

I don't see anything wrong with that you sissy

if not 1g protein per lb then what

Per kg

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

Yes. Per day. Obviously.

...Just what the fuck

ye

>strength=/=si-

why stop there?

1.6 grams per kilo is the most you should ever eat eating more does nothing
someone link the study

Yes.

> Strength =/= size

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

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

>not eating 1kg of protein per lb of bodyweight
I SHIGGY DIGGY

Eccentric movement is important and a big contributor to muscle building

Hypertrophy rep range exists

rest i agree with

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

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

I have doubts.

>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

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

>roids are bad for you

>calories in, calories out

Muscle recruitment is real tho...

Not even close to true

>30 gr protein per meal

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

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

>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.

I got 0 sex before I started lifting

I got 1 sex after I started lifting

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

> 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.

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

How can you doubt the luck trips of truth brah?


Do you even want to make it?

Enjoy your fucked organs and toxic shits dumbass
