For me, it was drinking water.

Kek waterlet

I remember Adam Carolla talking about how back in the 70s, people legitimately thought water was bad for you. Like if you drank it before or during a football game, it would give you cramps. So he played his entire high school football career dehydrated as fuck for no reason, as did everyone else back then.

The keto meme.

Body recomp

Trans-woman here. Fell for the onions meme. Ended up blocking my HRT and set my transition back two months.

Do you also partake in daily sun gazing?

1. The six small meals a day meme.
2. The bro split meme; one bodypart per day, five days a week.
3. The 8 to 12 reps per set meme. Overall training volume is the most important thing. Pic related.
4. The "LISS cardio is best for fat loss" meme. It IS good, just not the only way.
5. The glutamine and other useless supllements meme;wasted hundreds if not thousands on these during my first three years of training.
6. The 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight meme.
7. The "You can only absorb 40g of protein in one sitting" meme.
8. The "Onions will turn you into a woman meme." It might interfere with androgen receptors if taken in massive amounts. A glass of onions milk is probably harmless.
9. The "Egg yolks are bad" meme. AKA t "Muh cholesterol!"
10. The "Fat you eat is the fat you wear" meme. Excessive calorie intake makes you fat.
11. The "Carbs make you fat" meme. AKA "Muh insulin!" Again, excessive calorie intake makes you fat.
12. The "You need to squat, even if you have long limbs and it destroys your knees" meme. God bless Dorian Yates for putting this one to rest.
13. Taking advice from genetically gifted bodybuilders on steroids. I can't really think of a cute name for this meme but it's the thing that basically encapsulates all of the above, since all of the above appeared in bodybuilding advice columns written by IFBB pros. I wish I had never read bodybuilding magazines, especially ones published by Weider.

Fuck, this is what happens when you stop posting on Jow Forums for a few months. You don't stay up with the latest system trolling from Mook.

Onions means s.o.y., obviously.

I fell for the gallon of water a day meme

You don't really need a whole gallon, all it does is make you piss all the time

Breathing
What a waste desu

>3. The 8 to 12 reps per set meme. Overall training volume is the most important thing. Pic related.

Yeah, and if you do 8-12 reps YOU CAN DO MORE GODDAMNED VOLUME!

>>>
Literally not a meme, did it myself.

>3. The 8 to 12 reps per set meme. Overall training volume is the most important thing. Pic related.

The real meme is only ever doing 5 reps

>Overall training volume is the most important thing. Pic related.

That pic only shows that lower rep ranges are ideal. It annoyingly doesn't specify the number of sets.

Volume = Total number of sets where RPE = >8

High intensity is also easier to recover from than endurance rep ranges.

Care to extrapolate?

Only within the strict confines of those studies.
They do the basic powerlifting workout and the participants are pretty much fucked.
They then do the 8x12 lift and have more then enough in the tank to do more volume BUT because of the artifiicial nature of the test they are not allowed to do more.

What does this say?
That 8x12 or "MUH MASS BUILDING" lifting builds more mass, strength endurance, and almost as much strength as the 5x5 with less time investment.
That's not even mentioning the fact that you can do, and say it with me, MORE TOTAL VOLUME with said mass building workout.

Are you stating that they're doing a shit ton of junk reps?
Because, if you honestly need to frame your argument within this way then you're all but conceding.

Right. 3 sets of 8 made me the shitlord I am today

Was Couch To 5K a fitness meme? Or is it just HIIT workouts for retards? Because I did that for 9 weeks.
