You might be a brotard if...

You scrupulously avoid fruit or anything else that might have sugar in it, but cheerfully slurp down MegaMass 6000 with its 120 grams of dextrose.

You know what the One Best Workout and One Best Diet are, and preach them to everyone, regardless of their goals.

Your notion of the One Best Workout changes when a new article appears on T-Nation.

You don't notice that all the ideas in the "New Ultimate Workout" article are stolen from Bill Starr, Arnold, or someone else who had the same idea 20 years ago.

You squat almost as much as you bench.

You make lots of homophobic comments -- when you're not busy gazing adoringly at pics of big, muscular, hairless men in jockstraps.

You look down on anyone whose goal is anything other than being "freaky huge and ripped".

You can read an entire issue of Flex or Muscle and Fitness without laughing out loud even once.

You use more than 3 supplements AND they're all from the same company.

You list your supplements (excuse me, your "stack") in your signature.

You believe that it's the Cell-Tech that made Greg Kovacs huge.

You take Animal Pak ads seriously.

You get all excited when Biotest announces a new supplement.

You almost hit a PR in the bench press, but your spotter suffers a tendon injury.

All your diet and training info comes from one source.

You judge a poster's knowledge by his (yes, "his" -- it's not like you'd listen to a chick) post count.

You're impressed when an article references scientific studies, but you never actually read the studies yourself.

You eat 100% clean until your cheat day, when you try to see how much crappy food you can choke down in 24 hours.

You use "cheat meal", "cheat day", "refeed", and "carb up" pretty much interchangeably.

Whether you use lifting straps or not, you think anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot.

You engage in heated arguments as to whether meals should be 3 hours or 2.5 hours apart.

>> You almost hit a PR in the bench press, but your spotter suffers a tendon injury.

lol, wtf.

i do agree though t-nation keeps contradicting themselves with their once a month "revolutionary" workout routine and their incessant whoring of biotest's products.

*pokes Jones*

nice one angrydog

Isn't it ironic that a lot quite a number of people at the H & F are guilty of that but you'll see a lot of them agreeing and laughing along with you just to deflect attention away from themselves. Yep yep.

i got a few points only. definitely not the one with reaching PR in benchpress and spotter getting tendon injury lol

I'd also like to add:

Theoretically, the guys you see running back to the locker room to swish down a protein shake between each set should be considered brotards as well--only they're not really big enough to qualify as that, even.

They do that? What about a hypothetical situation such as people who force feed themselves over the kitchen sink to get big?

ok... that gives me a total of 6 Brotard points.

wow, its ads are so HARD CORE!

for example:
(an image of a standing big guy looking down... at what he has puked)
"SQUAT TILL YOU PUKE"

You stand alone, ten plates in the hole. It's you versus the
weight. You're thinking, "I'm gonna get friggin' crushed."
You're thinking, "I'm not gonna get up." But you will. Yeah,
you'll puke. Yeah, it'll be hard getting off the crapper the
next couple days. But it'll be worth it, cuz when there's chalk
on your hands and sweat on your back, there's no better place
in the world. This is pain. This is Animal. Can you handle it?
