Or so starts most of the weight loss ads stashed in the corners of our favorite pages. The ad is accompanied by a pick of an extra-ripped individual who looks like he either fluffed before the photo, or is photoshopped.

One weird trick is an internet meme, a vehicle really, that carries the idea that there is a shortcut to physical health; that you can do one simple and probably quick thing and become as fit as anyone you see on TV. You can do this without trainers, supplements, or anything save for the simple bit of advice found by clicking on the ad and spending whatever amount is suggested at the destination sight. One weird trick is the internet version of snake oil liniment, a catch-all name for fake our suspect health products meant to be curari for all that ails you.

These products are mostly fakes and the tip or trick is always a fraud. This tip found off the Bleacher Report suggests, nitric oxide will be your curari. Vernon Davis provides a quote, while a skinny blonde provides a voice over to remind you that this will provide you with pounds and pounds of sexy muscle.

Here’s one weird trick–If you want a better body then get up off the couch and work for it. When you reach the point that it gets to be too difficult and your mind tells you to quit, stop thinking about quitting and do five more reps of whatever you were about the quit. Perseverance is the key to getting in shape. Perseverance, good eating, and maybe a little Deer Antler Spray.
