Youtube, muscle magazines, and bodybuilding.com forums…
Although there is some great info out there, You would have to have a sword dipped in anti-bullshit sauce in order to find the scientifically backed information. There is so much bro-science going on it’s amazing.
No, actually it’s not amazing. It’s stupid and making me angry which is why I have developed 3 classes of idiots.
The Harmless Buffoon
This is the guy who buys his weekly muscle magazine along with a publix protein powder he uses every other week. He does some of the workouts in the magazine as well as chest and biceps every day. He doesnt squat or deadlift because he doesnt care about having twig-dick leg syndrome( T.D.L.S.). He relatively keeps to himself, thus making him harmless.
The Tae-Bo Tutor
This is the guy who logs on to bodybuilding.com more then you probably do to tumblr. He is constantly looking for the secret to weight training and getting big but at the same time instructing his friends to do endless ab work if they want abs, weird jedi-type shit on a bosu ball and crazy variations with dumbbells. To him, Research is going on bb.com and asking other Tae-bo tutors he is mad jelly of what the deal is. These people anger me but only if i catch it
The Certified Unknowledgable No-it-all Troller( CUNT)
This little gym rat has a decent body due to sport involvement, malnutrition resulting in low body fat and muscle catabolism. He is or is in the process of becoming a trainer, usually some no name training certification recommended on a website. He knows his training methods are the only way to get results and wants all people to train wrong like him. He makes up knowledge for questions you ask him as well as bullshits workouts. Shotgun training is his favorite method, slithering through the gym hitting random exercises because he has no plan what so ever. He preaches his false ideals ( like that christian guy who said the world was ending in may) to the masses, and even worse implements terrible training protocols in other people. He trys to impress people with his lifts, doing 1/2 squats with 300lbs 3 times. He knows nothing about proper nutrition, neurological muscle activation, kinesiology, exercise physiology, macronutrient mechanism of action, metabolism, Basal Metabolic Rate or even how and why muscles contract. He doesnt use a tempo when he trains or know the importance of specific rest periods or energy systems But he is a trainer. hmmm, Doesn’t make sense. These are the same people who preach things like:
- Decline hits bottom chest, incline hits upper chest, and flat hits middle chest ( anatomy fail)
- leg raises work lower abs ( no such thing as lower abs, leg raises work hip flexors eg psoas)
- Do Abs every day, lower back work 0-1 a week( =muscle imbalance and pain)
- Eat 250g of protein and fuck the other nutrients ( lol)
- Fatigue the shit out of a muscle to work it( stimulate not fatigue)
- Supplements are a way of life
I could go forever but I will stop here. Im starting to get angry lol.
I thoroughly hate the 3rd type with a passion and love fucking with them by asking them simple questions they either can not answer or lie about.
If you douchebags are reading this come at me bro! You better learn how to use a private medical database though! hahaha Learn to learn and stop thinking you are the shit. You have A LOT to learn Needle dick
(that last one sounds familiar doesn't it ;))

13 obnoxious workout partners you might be compatible with

-
The gym might look like a nice easy-going facility that promotes health and fitness, but it’s really a battlefield that’s going on in here (yes, point at your own heart). You need to team up with a work out partner that will help you get through each session without incurring any injuries and keeping you motivated. Here is a list of 13 types of people you’ll find at the gym. Some of them might lower your morale while others will take you to a Schwarzenegger-like Mecca.
Note: The best way to use this guide is to identify yourself from within this lineup and find your ideal match. You might be able to combine some of these types and that’s fine. Use your judgment, I can’t hold your hand through this.
-
When they say humans only use 10% of their potential, they were talking about this guy. He has given up before he started and will either bring you down with him or, in a twisted way, motivate you to push harder. Either way, don’t trust him to be your spotter, unless you like being pinned under heavy things.

Flocks of these types pop up in the gym every time the weather warms up. Initially, it’s nice to see others get in the spirit. But when the line for that machine resembles something out of a theme park, you count down the six or seven days it takes for their laziness to get the best of them. Partner up with this type if you want to experience what it’s like to have a deadbeat dad.
Compatible with other Seasonals.

Some people just sweat more than others. It’s not their fault. At the same time, objects are slippery when wet, so make sure you wipe down anything your partner hands to you.

Letting out a nice guttural yelp will get you through that last rep. It’s the reason why martial artists yell, “hi-yah!”. The problem with this technique is that it’s distracting to everybody else in the gym. Hence the unwritten rule that says you can only be as loud as you are big. Expect stares.

Overly positive reinforcement might not get you to peak physical shape, but it will do wonders for your self esteem. And isn’t that what exercise is all about? (It’s not.)

Nowadays, every other person with a smart phone is tapping away at their screen while working out. The upside, they might have one of those nifty fitness apps that allow you to maximize your workout. Most likely, they’re probably on Twitter or Facebook, updating their status about how you couldn’t lift X amount of pounds.
Compatible with Muscle Facts.

These guys travel in packs and can be recognized immediately by their wife-beaters and visors. If for some reason you can’t see them, you will definitely hear them; grunts, high fives, and the play-by-play on that chick working the Thighmaster.

6 Muscle Facts
(interrupting) “That’s bullshit, what you want to do is combine the fish oil and ball sack echinacea. Well, that’s if you really want to get anabolic.”
(interrupting) “That’s bullshit, what you want to do is combine the fish oil and ball sack echinacea. Well, that’s if you really want to get anabolic.”
The problem with the know-it-all’s of the gym isn’t that there are too many of them with conflicting information. It’s just that they’re so willing to share what they read on bodybuilding.com that they’ll just interrupt any conversation to throw in their little two cents as if it were law. Work out with this type long enough and you will become one by default.

This workout buddy doesn’t necessarily have to be a girl. It’s basically anybody you think should be weaker than you, doing double whatever you’re doing. It’s motivational as a wake up call or a success story of where you can be. Usually, they’re great partners because they come from humble beginnings. But once in a while they’ll say something slick to pump you up or simply because they can.

If you can look past the illegal substances, the constant flexing in the mirror, and the occasional ‘dude, I think I shit myself’; the juice head will inspire you with his incredible machine racking abilities. Just say no.

This is that same kid from elementary school who always insisted on racing to wherever. Now that you’re both grown up, he wants to turn every exercise into a competition. As annoying as that may be, it’s also one of the best ways to get in shape or get brolic. Just make sure you guys start off with similar body types and strengths or it can easily become one drawn out marathon of humiliation.

The drill sergeant might not look like R. Lee Ermey (famed drill sergeant from the movieFull Metal Jacket), but he’s got the same hard-ass remarks, designed to bring you to glorious heights through shame and suffering.

“Although, I have no way of knowing, you’re doing great! Now pop in DVD number two for our next exercise.”
“Although, I have no way of knowing, you’re doing great! Now pop in DVD number two for our next exercise.”
If none of the above options appeal to you (or you’re misanthropic), you might be better off staying at home and working out with a guy in a video. It’s a lonely and quite silly looking process, but many people seem to get results.
Compatible with all the above.
I THINK YOU can guess which one we are :)
