PROTEIN BRO

I've once overheard a conversation in the train where someone said "but cholesterol is good, right? Or are those proteins?" completely unironically. It got a good chuckle from me and several other people in the train.

I eventually learned he was becoming a PE teacher who made diet plans for schools. That was less funny.

Gym myths are my favorite. The best past is the extreme prevalence of survivorship bias, with most of the bad advice coming from people who have succeeded but are themselves mistaken about why.

i.e. Massive bro is adamant that everyone should be taking BCAAs, beginners are inclined to believe it because it looks like he knows what he’s talking about.

I think the fitness industry makes most of its money this way tbh

That's not a biochemist, memorizing the amino acids is literally biochem 1 on college. Most people with a biology undergrad take that.

Being a biochemist is more about understanding the whole system of how proteins interact, and not really about memorization of any specific protein.

Sometimes followed by the most cursed unit....grams per pound....

This pic reminds me of a ten-year-old post:

Used to take prework out as a teenager. About a year ago I'd be taking 2 scoops of the strongest shit I could get my hands on. I'd have to spend almost 10 minutes between sets sometimes to keep from puking. Then one day I just thought, what the fuck am I doing. I started lifting to get healthier. And here I am taking in God knows what from a container with a psycho clown that's chewed half his own face off. What the fuck happened. I started with a half a scoop of c4 and now here I am. Who the fuck is this for, am I supposed to be that methhead clown, is that supposed to be appealing? Since then completely gave up prework outs and never looked back

The best way to learn something new but maybe not useful or true is to say an obviously wrong fact on an internet forum with a total confidence.

People will step over themselves to explain it like it is a supermarket opening on a Black Friday morning

It’s a never patched CVE-1980-1 in an internet nerd mind that causes a dump of the victim’s volatile memory

Back in my day, we had 20 amino acids and we were happy.

But seriously, what are the other 2, I am presuming we are counting seleno-cystine? and i checked for the other one I had completely forgotten - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrolysine

My health teacher wayyy back had an amino acid drink he’d bring in each day.

Imma have to hit you with a UAA, UGA and a UAG just to make sure.
