pseudoscience espoused by "Bros" in the gym.

Example:

"Yea brah, think of your metabolism like a raging fire. You gotta keep throwing wood (food) at it every 2 hours to keep it burning efficiently. Throw a huge heap of wood on at one time, and it's gonna stall"

Usually centered around simple metaphors that sound great but are not based in reality.

"Anecdotal evidence presented as fact by unqualified, yet confident indvidulas in the body building community.
Rampent within liftring forums and message boards, the information is usualy based on hearsay with little to no scientific evidence to support the claims made by the individual."

Any person worship and the follow of their word as it was infallible must also fit this definition somehow. Oh brother, do you see quote mining alot regarding strength training.
