Just FYI brother, you did what needed doing today. Someone had to nut up (sorry) and ask the question.

Thanks man.
Iām trying to stay out of it to be honest now. Iāve expressed my doubts, other people have expressed theres. I donāt think it needs to go nuclear.
Yeah, but it might. Itāll be kind of funny if it does, because I think Beancam would have a genuine meltdown

He seems pretty invested. Iām not quite clear why, usually the guys that people get invested in and engage with are people like yourself who put plenty of themselves out there to engage with. Nuttys never really been that guy.

At a guess, heās embarrassed as shit he bought in so hard and he doesnāt want to admit he might be wrong.
It seems like heās trying desperately to paint anyone questioning as a keyboard warrior who wouldnāt be happy no matter what.
His IG changed a bunch over time too. Used to be lifting stuff, now anything that pops up in my feed is home playing Ark.
Also, now you mention it thatās another mark against then claims I hadnāt thought of. Never a bad session? Never anything about shit feeling off? Nah, just numbers.

I remember his log from the first time I was around this site, this is why the genetics thing has never rung true for me. His genetics havenāt changed and I donāt remember ever getting the impression he was short on work ethic.
Itās always struck me that his log was very, very different from everyone else who lifts those numbers. Straight sets with big, basic exercises 100% of the time, which isnāt an approach I see in any of the other logs of lifters at that level.
Iām too old for Instagram and stuff. One social media platform is enough for me.

Because I canāt think of anyone at that level who trains that way. It struck me that his log looked a lot like what a reddit purist (aka someone who knows shit) would think a strong lifter would train like. Big movements, no belt or wraps, only high bar squat, etc.

This nutty thing is deff going to blow up. Itās literally like the pin has been pulled out of the grenade and itās sitting there waiting to go off. I think you asked a question a lot of other people have been thinking but most just couldnāt be bothered asking it, so they just ignored the log. Interesting that there isnāt a lot of traffic in his training log. That tells me people either read it and go meh! Or they donāt ask questions because they donāt really believe it.

Colucci posted a snapshot of the threads with the most responses after The Flame Free thread locked. My training log was on the list as well as Markās. We both talk a lot in our logs. Itās a place to get thoughts out of our head and get some feedback. Iāve noticed logs that donāt get much traffic have something in common - the owner of that log doesnāt interact with people on their log.
You have to give in order to get around here. I first noticed @dagill2 in some of my regular threads. He soon popped up in my log. Out of respect and curiosity, I began to look at this log. And now here we are.
I donāt know that Nutty really interacted in other peopleās log much. He also only posted his workouts like they were an itinerary. There wasnāt much else besides that. I think we are all similar in that we enjoy the non lifting stuff just as much (if not more) as the lifting.
Anyway, thatās my theory on training logs.

I think you are spot on. The more you interact with others in their logs and more you get back. (Give and receive, hmm pretty sure I read that in a book a while back). I also think that if you add more than just the sets and reps and also invite response by posing questions in your log you get a lot more out of it.

I feel like we have a pretty solid group of dads here. Itās cool interacting with other dads who like to train hard. Itās also pretty awesome that no one has an ego. Criticism is taken well and usually results in some good dialogue.

If you train like he does, itās a one way ticket to wreckedville. Injury, lots of it.
Heās had a minor injury what, twice in 3 years? With straight set programming.
It doesnāt work that way.

Nope, it doesnāt. At some point almost EVERYONE strong either ramps or waves or something. There are very, very, VERY few who can train in straight sets and low reps constantly without getting hurt, especially with weights as significant.

Chicken, it says āThis userās public profile is hidden.ā and I donāt know how else to find someoneās log.
Otherwise, I just chime in occasionally and read a bunch of logs. Once Iāve been at it for a few more months and am more confident my advice isnāt complete garbage Iāll probably start posting more in othersā logs. Also, apparently I need to reproduce.

Yeah, somebody was stalking a while back so I set it, and forgot it. My log says Death Stars in the O35. Thereās really not much to love in my log. I was just being smartass.
