What is the worst advice you've gotten/heard someone get regarding bodybuilding?
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?
I have never heard anything that even comes close to this. I wear headphones that are so loud I cant hear anything now. Your a better man than me, because if I heard that I would have had to say something, or I would have dropped the bar and fell to the vround laughing, and tben I would have said something.
Re: What is the worst advice you've gotten/heard someone get regarding bodybuilding?
I've seen and heard so many crazy things over the years. I think one of the most difficult things to watch is when a guy brings his girlfriend to the gym and is walking around like Mr. macho giving her all sorts of misinformation and teaching her how to do almost everything wrong. I'm not the guy who's going to jump in the middle of that trying to correct something. So now, not only does he look like a doofus, but he just taught her to look like a doofus as well. It's difficult to watch, especially when you can tell she's really trying to learn.

Yeah that's pretty sad. Some years ago I seen this lycra clad fitness chick with her boyfriend, she had him benching with a 45 plate on one end of the bar and a 25 on the other, she was telling him that would help his weaker left side. So here he is doing military presses, squats, curls, etc this way.
Leaders did what others weren't willing to do, now they enjoy the things that others do not.

Yeah one of those "I'm too young and pretty turd under the nose" chicks. I was cringing at thought of that poor dude getting hurt. Then I would'a said something and looked like a mean old a$$hole to everyone so I bailed.
