We've all heard some form of bro-science, whether its from our friends starting, or maybe that regurgitation that you HAVE to consume a protein shake within 10 minutes of your workout to get in the 'window'. Whatever you've heard, share it here!
I had to create the topic because yesterday marked the day where I heard some of the stupidest shit ever at the gym. I overheard a couple of new kids saying that their "massive' friends secret to big muscles is that every night before bed he does sets of 'flexes'. According to these bros, doing sets of flexing before bed makes you wake up not only bigger then before, but also the blood you pumped into your muscles forces them to heal overnight so you can train the same muscle again the next day and avoid DOMs. So guys, make sure you do your sets of flexes before bed.
I saw the same kid during his workout doing pushups with his hands on two boxes so he could go extra low, but the worst thing was that his elbows and shoulders were in front of his head. It was the most painful and wrong looking pushup I've probably ever seen.
Also had same jackass tell me that since I lift heavy, I should be doing static stretches in between each of my sets so I don't hurt myself.
So, what Bro-science secrets have YOU heard?
