Thread: Dumbest thing you hear from people who dont workout!

All the excuses. Quite whining and just do it. And they wonder why they never get bigger, stronger, faster, etc. and why they keep losing when they try to wrestle you (such as your brother who is almost four years older than you are...).

Nothing I have heard or read has bested what I read years ago. Some asshat wrote an article in a health magazine. The stupidest thing he said (and there were many), was that working and growing bigger muscles restricted the body's blood flow. Otherwise, why would bodybuilders have bulging vains?

i always get a kick out of people who say their new year's resolution is to go on a diet and join a gym. They do that .. and about a month later they give up and go back to their old selves.

It's ridiculous. I see so many new faces at my local gym after the holidays and never see them again once february and march comes around.

Yeah, the getting "too big too fast" shit is ridiculous. I just hate it when people say stuff like....I put on XX pounds of PURE MUSCLE....shit'll be like 30 lbs when everybody who knows anything knows that you might put on 10lbs of LBM in a year naturally...everything else is fat and water.

"wow you must have to go to the gym everyday"

and

"i would start but i dont want to get all big and stuff"

I don't have the time to work out

bitches

Love that 1

Actually, resistance training does cause vasoconstriction to some degree. By the same token, aerobic exercise causes vasodialation. However, as far as I know, actually having more muscle mass has no effect on circulation.


Anyway, the "I don't have time" excuse pisses me off. Shutup, yes you do. You watch TV 10 hours a week. You can cut 3 of that for some quality exercise. While you're at it, cut 5 for exercise, and another 5 for reading. Throwing your TV out the fucking window.

wow... TV is the most over rated object in the world... good call.

My favorite, said by a 140LB soccer player who I can race and beat him in the 100M. Squats are bad for your knees.

But the moron's logic was that the sign of decreased cirsulation were large veins.

The quality of my life went up when I cut back on my TV viewing. The only show I watch is Mad Money (1 hour a night).

AWESOME POST - and so true!!! That's gotta be my all time pet peeve. My wife and I don't even have cable. The TV is used for rented/owned DVDs only. TV addicts need to get a life.

So many classics mentioned above but there's also the...

'I need to tone up my stomach so ill do loads of crunches which will lose fat only on my stomach but i dont want to lose any weight overall'

Gotcha. I just like to take the opportunity to throw out some information when given the opportunity to do so. Hehe.

From girls: 'I dont want to lift weights coz i'll get all big and muscley' and they dont lift anything heavier than the pink n green dumbells.

From guys: 'I want to get toned, loose some fat around the middle and get a 6 pack.' and they do a zillion crunches and endless cardio.

women: 'i don't lift heavier weights b/c i don't wanna be big and bulky.'

my mom: 'why do you want to look manly?' (LOL)
