I knew guys who drank a gallon a milk a day the whole off season and summer before football in high school.

I think I tried to get a half gallon in a day....but you can get away with that sort of thing alot easier as a 17 year old.

"Supplements are effective."

"You need to train twice a day, 45 minutes at a time, 7 days a week, like bodybuilder so-and-so says in his Flex article."

"You need to eat 5 - 7 meals a day."

 :P

"You don't need steroids to make it to the pro stage - but only if you're willing to train hard enough and eat clean enough.

you can't gain muscle if you play basketball pick up games.

muscles hurt your flexibility

don't lift weights, because you muscle will turn to fat if you stop lifting.

- you need to eat 6 meals a day
- you have to quit drinking
- you have to do cardio to get lean
- solid food is better than shakes
- high GI foods will make you fat
- saturated fat will make you fat
- you have to watch your sodium intake

It is funny. Too bad though, cause that's the only thing on that list that isn't mine ;D - it's actually one of those "Confucius say" lines. I thought it was random enough to make the list.

I've been hearing stupid shit now on the radio that you should wash your hands before you take a piss and after.  It makes me sick thinking of all these sick fearing fucks.  I want to shake Howie Mandels hand before I cough in his face.
