    Yeah, there was a guy in my town who would run around with one of these around his neck. Similar type of idiot. He would actually run by the strength training gym and gloat to us that we were wasting our time lol, insisting that all we had to do was run around with a big chain.

    Hearing about this news story now I wonder if some influencer somewhere started a trend. People love feeling like they found “the secret”

      It has all the Hallmarks…

      Starts with something based in science, but never goes past surface logic and ignores lots of existing and safe options for the most visible and attention grabbing method despite the serious medical flaws from this method.

      Even if you stay away from 1.5 tons magnets, that’s going to fuck your posture up before it translates to muscular gains.
