NYSC Undercover: The “PubMed Warrior” vs. the “Experienced Guy”

Noen tanker?

Synes for så vidt han tar opp noe vesentlig her:

There is another variable that will be controversial but needs to be addressed—and that is drug use. Massive drug use can make a shitty training program look good or a poor diet produce results. Nobody wants to hear this, but it has to be said. Take a guy with great genetics to begin with and load him up with a gram of testosterone a week, 10 units of HGH, and some insulin. Results will follow. Hell, he could take body pump classes every day and see results. A natural guy can’t follow the same protocol as an extremely enhanced guy. The volume has to be lower because recovery won’t be the same between the two and nutrient repartitioning will be different. The average person will look at a huge, ripped guy and assume that he knows a lot. This can be dangerous for two reasons—the huge guy starts to think that because he can produce results for himself and because people ask him for help that he knows enough to give advice, and the untrained person looks at the guy and thinks, “If I listen to him, I’ll look like him”

Recently, a new client came to me. He’s an older guy just looking to get in shape and had been training at a gym with mainly bodybuilders. They had given him a diet plan that was just awful. They had him eating 400 grams of protein per day and using these massive sugar-filled refeeds, which work quite well for the bodybuilding guys because they get to use insulin. My new client was under the assumption that they were all on level playing fields until he started to put on fat and feel like crap. Drugs aren’t magic. You still have to put in a ton of hard work, but they certainly give you more leeway in programming and dieting.
