Broscience is a brand of reasoning that emphasizes anecdotal logic then actual scientific logic in the weightlifting community. Its credibility comes from the weightlifting abilities and muscle mass of the speaker. Broscience typically is ineffective in actual exercise, but seemingly delivers results. Broscience is also seen as a comedic approach to the fake knowledge of weightlifting. Etymology Broscience is made from the combination of the words bro (short for brother) and the word science.
