Gym on Yik Yak | Is it a pet peeve for anyone else when someone is correct but they don't actually know why? Like so many people in fitness just regurgitate what other people say. Like you're only right because the person you listen to happens to be correct

Is this not true for everything ? Like 2+2=4. Why?? I don’t know because they told me it was! Fuck man

it's more like "this causes growth in this muscle" and people are like "ya that makes sense," but they don't understand it enough to actually explain why it's true. At least 80% of the people who post workouts don't know why they're doing exactly what they're doing. They just hear people say what exercises are good. I'd rather be wrong for the right reasons than right for the wrong reasons

Like I'd rather know why 2+2= 4 instead of thinking "well I know 2+2 isn't 5 so I guess that means it's 4"

Ya there's a lot but it doesn't help that most people just aren't focusing on the important things
