The Tao of Bro-Science

When the gym is your lab: Bro-Science

If you go to any gym, you'll find a great deal of unusually specific information about strength training. Strangely, you'll find very little in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, or scientific literature appended to it.

This information is Bro-Science. The problem with Bro-Science is that it differs from gym to gym based on a combination of the shared experience present and the amount of time people spend on the Internet and what lifting forums they frequent.
