BB-ing myths article?

not die" type thing, or perhaps "Top Ten bbing myths" or what ever.
Two that come to mind:
"Real bodybuilders don't use Smith machines"
and
"Pro's eat 'clean' foods all year round"
and perhaps
"Anyone can look like a pro bodybuilder if they take enough drugs"
and
"bodybuilders are not strong"
Any more you can think of? I figure I need at least ten decent myths to
make an article of it.

"bodybuilders are homosexual"
"bodybuilders have a minority complex, which is why they enlarge their
muscles"
"bodybuilders are narcistic"
"steroids dont work"
"steroids dont make you bigger, you only get bigger faster"
"steroids allow you to train more frequent, and thats why you get bigger"
"steroids only work if you have low testosterone levels"
"if you stop taking steroids, you will lose everything you build while you
were on them"
"bodybuilders do endless sets with low weights"
"pump equals growth"
"to more you eat, the bigger you get"
"to make the arms bigger, compound exercises are better then curls and
pushdowns"
There are several more in my mind, but these are the ones that seem to
appear most frequent...

With all your talk of other mens glutes, I am starting to wonder..

In some cases, it's true however. Of course it's not true in all cases, but....

They are! :-)

Now THAT'S a myth!

Never heard that one.

I think that one is partially true.

Never heard that one.

Good one! That goes on the list. Of course in some cases it's true but
that's not the fault of the steroids per se.

Well, this maybe true but..
Bodybuilders has small dicks and work out to overcompensate. They also
drive lifted trucks and beat off a lot.

You're too late, Brink. That article's already been purchased and
printed. Aren't writers advised to actually READ the market they're
interested in selling to? And whatever is one word. How in HELL do you
make money as a writer? Editors, proofreaders, etc., right? Well,
better them thAn me.

re bodybuilding myths
> "pump equals growth" <snip>
I was reading an interview with Dante Trudel in the September 2006
issue of Flex. Trudel's the creator of the Doggcrapp training system.
Great read if you're unfamiliar with DC. I was.
It was interesting to read about his workout schedule's rotating A B A
on week 1 followed by B A B on week 2. That piece of Trudel's workout
formula is similar to Frank Calta's workout philosophy which I've
praised here more than once.
I'm OBVIOUSLY not working hard enough as Trudel - who is also 6'1" -
once weighed 137 lbs. "after a good meal and with four rolls of
quarters in my pocket," joked the DC guru during his interview with
Flex's Greg Merritt. He currently weighs in at a monstrous 280 lbs. and
he looks solid in the pics Flex provides.

The one comedian I remember saying something like, "What's up with
bodybuilders? They build all their muscles up and then the really
important 'muscle' looks incredibly small by comparison."
And there was another comic, about six feet tall and 130 lbs, just a
stick (yes, even skinnier than I am), who started off his routine,
"Sorry I'm out of breath, but I just got done bodybuilding."
ba dump bump!

In a similar vein:
Doing 21-rep sets of curls will give you huge biceps.
Doing quarter-ROM curls will give you huge biceps (saw this in Men's
Fitness or something, back when i was young and foolish enough to waste
money on it).
Doing less-than-full-ROM movements is better for your joints.
Doing eight different tricep exercises will make your triceps eight times
bigger.
Er, unless those are true; in which case, if someone could let me know,
that would be good.

Funny you mention that. I was thumbing through Arnold's Encyclopedia of
Bodybuilding and came across a picture of Tom Platz squatting with a Smith
machine. Arnold mentioned he liked it for heavy squats. Go figure.

How many bodybuilders do you know who use narcotics? Moron.

Hey, Bobby, can we review hyphenation here? I mean, especially as it
relates to adjectives. That should be 7-year-old, right? You mentioned
English skills, so that'd be a relevant question, yes?

Why not address the question? Once again, how many BBers do you know who use
Narcotics? Folks, we have yet another anonymous pussy.

Dimitri isn't anonymous or a pussy Rob. English isn't his first language
and I think he missed on an attempt at humor. He has posted training
videos of some pretty impressive gymnastic type stuff. And is very
knowledgable about the science end of protein synthesis and things like
that.

Whaaa?
Hey, are you the dipshit or am I the dipshit because I thought DZ was
*Super Chin Man!!!* and that you were *Should Be Grateful You Got a
Kidney From, What I suspect Was, An Anonymous Donor Man*.
Is this some OTHER DZ? Anonymous pussy???
Your current claim to fame is that you... what? Had a 22-inch waist?
Pfft.
Or was your comment an inside joke? Didn't you say you have a wicked
sense of humor?

Which of course is absolutely true, particularly as we all used our
real names until a year or so ago. Anyone who has been here any length
of time would know only too well who we are.
I can confirm to Rob that DZ is no "anonymous pussy"; a few of us know
exactly who he is and he deservedly enjoys a good reputation here!
