You guys should check the fitness newsgroups for a good laugh. The people there are utterly hilarious. Here’e one example:
“excuse my english
I’m 18 and i’ve never exercise b4
recently, i’ve been doing push ups for a few days and managed to do 3
reps of 40 push ups
usually, i’ve no problem doing it because i just bend half of my arm to add more resistance i tried to bend my arms till my chest touch the floor but as soon as i do around 7-8 times my right eye hurts intensely and it spread to the right side of my head the pain is so intense it lasts for an hour or so is there anything wrong with me or is it just normal?”
I just responded to a kid who aked this I just got through doing a cycle of this stuff that is called amino acids, I took two pills a day for the time it told me to, Why didn’t I gain the mass it told me I would? It said I could get as big as my favorite pro bodybuilder because he uses it.I worked hard in the gym at school and like the rest of the guys did massive workouts. Did 10 bench presses for 30 reps each and leg lifts the same every day. I got so sore I could hardly move. Can anyone give me advice on this?"
I kid you not. I at first thought this was a joke and responded accordingly but after his reply found out that this was what he was getting from other sites that had forums.
