      I'm not going to any gym with a cutesy "stretching prevents injury" sign on the wallhttps://twitter.com/ricburton/status/1272587928993030144 …

      From memory it's not very well demonstrated, right?

      The answer is somewhere between "no" and "no but it's complicated"https://www.vox.com/2014/7/17/5902987/stretching-exercise-science-injuries …

      Oooo, just like protein powder. I love how much of the stuff I was taught when I first started going to the gym is basically just...not true

      Long story short - it depends who you are. If you're lifting every day and having trouble eating enough eggs, protein powder is great. If you're 90%+ of the people who buy the stuff, it's probably a waste of timehttps://medium.com/@gidmk/protein-powder-is-probably-a-waste-of-time-e7bf0e2d67f …

      ah the lie being "protein powder will magically give you muscles" ...fair enough. I just see it as food. Do you want more protein in your diet? Then eat food with protein, such as chicken or tofu or protein powder. *picks shake back up again*

      Yeh pretty much. At a certain point it gets hard to eat more eggs. That being said, every person attending the gym has a protein powder, which is hella dumb

          & to your larger point: yeah. I remember being taught so many hard-and-fast rules that come from nowhere: you can't strength train the same muscle two days in a row. You can't put your knees past your toes when you squat. You need to go to failure on every set or it doesn't count

          I went from a 30kg deadlift to 120kg without ever touching a protein powder or making any specific changes to my diet. Probably going to have to start steaking more soon tho

          I need to make a specific effort to eat enough protein, or else I'd subsist entirely on cookies and beer
