What does this term mean? I usually dismiss anyone out of hand who uses it. Is it meant to denigrate "bros"? And which "bros" does one mean? Please help me understand.

    Or, Common sayings that can work but aren't the only way to do it. The conventional wisdom in fitness mags tend to be "broscience."

    You have to eat 30 min after lifting heavy or you will lose your gains
    You have to eat 40g of protien every 3 hours because that is the max protien your body can absorb in that time frame and the rest will be wasted. <--- my favorite, but works for me.

    Are examples of Broscience.

    I have heard of Brogrammers before... Those are Males who program while working out, but apparently they are better at lifting weight than programming. But the context seems even more evil and sinister here. Thanks for the reference and information.

    Anecdotal evidence provided by those who echo it with no scientific evidence to truly support it. Really big in the fitness/diet world so that people will spend money on their programs and ****.

    BroScience, is awesome. Its advice, tips, information you get from your BROs ... opinions and thoughts on different suppliments. Ideas on workouts to try, or different ways to work muscle groups. Yes alot of it can be fluffed up crap, but at the end of the day, its just alot of information from people that have been there, done that, and got the t shirt. And not all of it crap. Just take it at face value, and go research it yourself.

    Well, we've already got a perfectly cromulent word for that, "tomboy" (like me!), but the linguist in me approves of her flexible lexicon, or as I like to call it, a "flexicon"! :laugh:
