Bodybuilder diets

Why is it that almost every single Pro Bodybuilder diets with very little fat in there diet? If fats like flax, fish etc help you burn fat wouldn’t they take advantage of them?

Tdawg, I’m guessing that most of us have no idea how bodybuilders really diet. What I mean is, most of the articles you see in the mags are ghostwritten i.e. written by someone else. The training articles are usually done the same way. Most people only see these pics in the Weider mags of bodybuilders happily cooking away in their pristine little kitchens, eating rice and tuna and looking very thoughtful and concerned about their antioxidant intake. I’m guessing that’s as bogus as their girlfriends’ boobs.

Learn it now folks: DO NOT LOOK TO PRO BODYBUILDERS FOR DIET OR TRAINING ADVICE!!

How would you know what Pro bodybuilders diet with?
They keep everything a secret (espec. drug intake) so no one will gain there “advantage.”
Please don’t tell me you beleive Flex!

I happen to train among allott of the top bodybuilders. Flex, Cormier, Priest, Dillett, Ray, Yeah I train at venice golds. And guess what I see what they eat when they are gettin ready for a contest, usually about three meals aday. I have also personally consulted with Milos Sarcev. So no I dont read FLEX magazine. Most are open with there training and diet when you talk to them I would say that 6 out of 10 are all friendly with each other and actually eat and workout together , but I guess you will have to see that in your next issue of flex magazine or come down to venice golds on a monday morning around 8am and you will see every single pro bodybuilder.

like Poliquin said, pro’s would rather spend their money on steroids than sound training advice and I guess also learning sound eating advice. Either way, I’d be more interested in hearing what these guys eat for a precontest diet. Also, what did Milos Sarchev recommend in terms of precontest dieting?

TDAWG, you are full of shit. There is no way they are eating 3 meals a day! Do you guys think you are smarter than pro bodybuilders when it comes to diet? Please!! There profession is looking the best they can so wouldn’t they invest a little time into nutrition? All the drugs in the world won’t help unless you are eating right.

Dbol your an idiot. I meant I usually SEE them eat THREE of thier meals in a day HENCE I am not with them ALL THE FUCKING TIME, I SEE WHAT THEY EAT IN THE GYM! AND ALSO THEY ALL EAT AT FIREHOUSE AND THIS LITTLE CAFE MAX MUSCLE DURING CONTEST PREP OR OFFSEASON!!!
OH BY THE WAY I do think I’m smarter than Pro Bodybuilders they are idiots who don’t even understand flexion , extenstion, and what muscle fiber predominate in each region ie fast or slow twitch. Most still do leg extenstions and high reps to CUT up!
