Cybergenics.

Sigh. I spent some good money on that.

Graininess/muscle maturity= amount of tren and winny and lack of bodyfat

Tren is abs in a bottle.

Careful to not jog after weights or you will run off all your gains.

- 45 minute anabolic window

- No such thing as overtraining, only undereating and under sleeping

- Hit each muscle group only once every 7 days

- Any of the Tnation supplement "protocols"

I wouldn't call that "bro science ", just a fancy name for a simple concept. When I was a kid, I could down much more food after a workout than I could on eating at the same time on a day I didn't train.

There is such thing as overtraining; but much can be attributed to lack of rest and crappy diets.

This makes no sense, especially since most people start training by doing that whole-body workout thing, 3 times a week.

I rarely, if ever, go to that site. So I can't speak on that one way or the other.

Eh I think the point of this thread was to post things that you think are bro-science and don't agree with? Meaning I don't actually believe those things I listed so not sure why you are trying to debunk them?

Actually it was before my time, but I kept hearing stories about it. It was the opposite of what Ultimate Orange was. Where as Ultimate Orange worked like a mofo for energy and leaning out, Cybergenics didn't do shit. From what I understand they put you on this crazy ass system of deliberate over training to shock your body into adapting.

Their spokesperson Franco Santeriollo or however it was spelled, was a joke. I found an old mag that a buddy of mine had in his collection where they did an article in it on him with the title "I Will Be Mr Olympia In Three Years". I don't even know if the dude ever set foot on the Mr O stage.

Doing pull overs will expand the rib cage making your chest look wider.

I forgot about that one!

I did pullovers for years without the slightest hint of "expansion". Damn you, Arnold!

Medium weights and lots of reps (15-20) makes you cut!!

Heavy Weights 6-8 reps makes you huge!!

That's not true?

This is correct. The system was so extreme that pretty much no one could follow it, but I did, down to the letter and got jack shit results. But the diet part did hip me to the importance of monitoring everything and that was a silver lining. Cybergenics broke my cherry on the "supplements are a scam" idea.

If you have cramps before a show, eat 2 aspirin and a thin slice of banana. Hearsay to a friend from JJ Marsh.

JJ Marsh used to work out sometimes at Lee Haney's in Atlanta when I lived there. Nice guy, very pleasant but you could never tell when he was being serious about anything.

I overheard him telling one group of amateur competitors that having sex right before stepping onstage was the key to his trade mark vascularity. He said "really vigorously and hard thrusting for at least 15 minutes." At first I thought "WTF?" because competitors today can barely walk to the stage without needing an oxygen mask, no way in hell they could have the wind power to jerk off, let alone actually have sex for 15 minutes.

But then again, when he was competing they were much healthier and wasn't carrying a shit load of extra weight around. Who knows?

I'm not trying to debunk anything. In fact, I actually agree with you (to a certain degree) on most of what you said.
