I find it weird how gentle the T-Nation crowd is being with u. The point is while fast food and drinking doesn’t mean ur not serious about ur training… its means ur not as serious as you could be, and also that ur not maximizing ur gains (moreso true of alcohol).
Alcohol is bad for the CNS, hence hindering strength gains, and it also inhibits protein synthesis, hence hindering size and strength gains.
Also beyond being very calorie dense yet nutrient deficient alcohol actually causing the body to go into fat storage mode thus conflating its fat gain potential.
Point is if u take two groups of people and give them the same diet and training, except that one group drinks in excess a few days a week and the other doesn’t… chances are after x amount of time the non-drinkers will have made more progress.
Try to drink water when u drink to stay hydrated and stay away from lower quality alcohol. Drink good beer… not natty and shit u will be more satisfied overall, and generally incur less of a hangover
Just dont be a bitch when someone calls u out on something u are obviously doing wrong

No, She called him out on something that he is changing. He said that he was stopping the fast food and learning to cook. About the drinking, you do make a good point but I don’t think drinking is somehow going to cause him not to make it to his goal, I am sure many lifters drink on the weekend and do just fine.
We are not being soft on him, we just don’t see a problem with some drinking on the weekends.
i agree that his goals are attainable while drinking… i just think that generally those goals can be achieved in a shorter amount of time when ur not drinking
i dont care if this dude drinks or not… i just want him to know that he is not optimizing his gaining potential
obviously for him social drinking trumps die hard training which is fine

You realize the 4 time champion from the wsm competetion has a bodybuilder physique right? Though I think the Arnold is a better test of strength anyways.

Whoopedy doo dah…I have a lot of respect for mr. polish power, however look at the competition as a whole and get a clue, most of those guys have a bit of a gut, albeit made of cement, so basically what you are saying is a washboard stomach is a true test of a mans strentgh? i guess bill kazmier and others from iceland might want a private chat with you in a dark hallway…good luck with that!
Primal - High Cholesterol/Blood Pressure is what’s hot in the streets right now? Silly me, spending all this time avoiding saturated fat and exercising.

Are you fucking kidding me? Being a big man does not mean you have high cholesterol and high blood pressure, i have neither of those problems…the addressed answer is just because a twig has a washboard stomach does not indicate the be all end all of health.
Ive seen more skinny people with high blood pressure problems and diabetes lately because of there excessive drinking, smoking, and god knows what else. So dont be so foolish to think a one sentence answer was so witty.

Insecure about what, all of my post have more then one lousy sentence with absolutely no insecurities whatsoever. I think some of you guys just dont put enough time into reasoning your answeres rather then the quick witted childness that seems to float around here.

maybe if they were more like him they would do better :). His ‘washboard abs’ are blowing away all the cement guts. I don’t think you have to sacrifice abs to be strong, you can have both.
No one said that washboard abs are a bad thing…however the blatant abuse of mr polish powers steroid use will get his heart to explode like another american competitors did just a few years ago…oh thats right, you thought that was all given to him by Met Rx…lmfao!

I wouldn’t start that up again but you are 100% wrong about Jesse. Many of them use steroids-i would say majority- its not tested for. Steroids wont make your heart explode LOL.

You know what? You are absolutely right. You don’t have to convince me how awesome you are at 308 lbs of pure swole.
I’ll amend my earlier response by dropping the “insecure” part, because people who talk (read: randomly volunteer information) about how much fun they have clogging supermarket aisles certainly aren’t trying to assure us (or reassure themselves) of how great it is to have a measurable gravitational pull.
Seriously. It’s just so obvious now - insecure people DON’T run out into conversational left field and lob compliments they receive on their physiques in SOMEONE ELSE’S THREAD (it’s so obvious, now that you mention it!). You know, compliments they receive even without the [quote]gay ass washboard stomach[/quote] (and you accuse US of puerile commentary!)
Shucks, I’ll give you another round of applause for dispelling the whole “big men and blood pressure/cholesterol” stereotype, too! I was sooo impressed by that gem of wisdom that I almost didn’t notice your stereotype of 'roid-induced heart explosions.
But, hey, anything you can use to justify keeping that keg on your six pack, right?
Color me embarrassed, I can’t believe I thought YOU were insecure. Like I said, I’ll drop the insecure part, but that doesn’t change the simple fact that
you’re still an asshole.
Now piss off to a thread where people don’t give a shit about your pathetic hijacks.
