Default Myths of body building

What are some myths of body building that you have come across? Here are a few I have seen or heard about.

1. If you are female and lift, you will not look feminine.

2. You can spot reduce areas on your body.

Big one is that your body can't process more than 30g of protein in one sitting

Narrow squat = bodybuilder only.
Wide squat = powerlifter only.

There was this cat I trained with who was OCB on this point. Wanted big legs, but wouldn't squat because narrow squats hurt his knees, and wide squats are only for powerlifters.

Shut up and squat. For a bodybuilder, "powerlifting squats" are better than nothing.

Change your workout frequently to cause "muscle confusion."

oddly, many powerlifters and strongman competitors i know think bodybuilders could out squat a lot of them. i squat with a wider stance, its easier on my knees and works my outter sweep a lot more, which needs more work than my tear drops. but nice post big V!
