Bradley Martyn Syndrome is a common condition prevalent among 90% of bodybuilders and gym bros. It manifests in the belief that physical strength alone equates to combat prowess, despite lacking any formal training in martial arts like MMA, Muay Thai or Jiu Jitsu.
The term draws inspiration from Bradley Martyn, an influencer famous for his belief that his 260-pound physique alone qualifies him to defeat any professional fighter weighing 160lbs.
This condition can be harmful to gym bros as It inflates their ego and a false sense of confidence, masking their vulnerability and leaving them not prepared for when push comes to shove.
This phenomenon mirrors the Dunning–Kruger effect, a cognitive bias where individuals with minimal proficiency in a specific domain, such as combat, tend to overestimate their skills.
TL;DR: Bradley Martyn Syndrome: Gym bros are bloated up pussies and lack fighting experience.
