    Broscience isn't always harmful or incorrect. The reason it sticks around is because it works. Not for the reasons they think it does, but for the most part a lot of broscience works.

    The reason broscience sticks around is because there's always newbies that don't know what they're doing and will believe anything someone tells them about fitness. Like eat chicken and brown rice or you'll never be shredded. Or kill yourself in the gym or you will never make gains. Broscience is the reason why people never make good sustainable progress and give up too quick. I think if actual accurate information about nutrition and training would be spread out more people would enjoy fitness.

    Not necessarily. Broscience often cuts out a lot of the complicated steps. I'm all about science and IIFYM, but broscience isn't the evil you are trying to make it seem.

    You got a point there. I had a stage like that when I first started and made some decent progress. But my progress and enjoyment has been way higher now that I know the facts behind it all. My point is that if people knew things right off the start, they would have better progress and more sustainability. But broscience works to an extent.

    It's not enough to know that something works, you must know why it works. The ancient sword forgers in Japan used to take a hot sword and plunge it into someone's stomach, killing them in the process. They found that this made the sword stronger, but they didn't know why. Turns out the carbon in their blood bonded to the steel when it was hot creating much stronger carbon steel. It's always important to know why

    Except that most people don't even know broscience when they start, so that's irrelevant. Eventually people learn the broscience and make progress, then learn science and make even more.

    I've seen newbs coached by someone knowledgeable and that know broscience right off the bat. And not really, some people think broscience is the way to go and at some point become stagnant. Then they either make no progress or quit.

    I bet that information really made the people with the large sword holes in their stomachs feel better right as they breathed their last breath
