Bad fitness articles are a nickel a dozen. True, this is only my second post on how to spot bad articles but I have enough ideas to keep this going for a long time. You may be wondering where this guy gets off talking about bad writing. Well I am not talking about bad writing per se.
Although there is much overlap between these things and bad writing in general, the spots aim to uncover bad articles, not bad writing. My writing may not always be up to even my standards for instance but while I have written articles that I would consider poorly written not very often have I written something which I consider to be bad content.

I am starting this series of blog posts as a tongue in cheek1 way of helping you spot bullshit in fitness articles. You may know that I don't like the term fitness so I am using it purely out of convenience. These posts will be simple lists of 1 to 5 things that should signal BS to you. This does not mean the article in question is BS; only that you should be on BS alert as you consider it.

Getting in the Zone VI: Flow and Zone are Just Words
by EricT 1260662231|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Number six in this flow series is not about achieving flow at all. Rather it is about the words flow and zone themselves.
Words like that, when they are used in the context of psychology and related fields, need to be qualified. The last thing I want to do is insult my reader's intelligence. There's enough of that on the webernet already.

Getting in the Zone V: Relaxation
by EricT 1260567026|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Part IV of Getting in the Zone described arousal regulation and the effects of anxiety and anger on performance. At the end of that post I left you with this:
"There are those who will need to focus on energizing techniques. Rather than controlling excessive arousal, they will need to develop strategies to increase arousal. But in my experience, most lifters have more of a need to control anxiety, apprehension, and anger, and thus regulate excessive arousal. Therefore the next post will focus on regulating over-arousal."
