Carbohydrates for the Muscles

[doogie]

@SlowTwitch

I never said that I had superior nutritional knowledge. I never even implied it.

You said they would have been bigger if they ate the way you think they should have. Maybe you just mean fatter. If so, I agree.

[SlowTwitch]

The way to prove that carbs make you more muscular is to take an asymptotic line and extend it outward.

It’s a subjective competition so there will always be a bit of drama when it comes to judging. Bodybuilding isn’t only about size.

Everyone has their favorites. I thought Ferrigno should have beat Arnold at least once but I know I am biased because I like Ferrigno and his physique.

Like I said, too many ways to skin the cat.

Yeah this doesn’t make any sense.

[Once_again]

Actually thought that about you quite some time ago.

[Andrewgen_Receptors]

which part, the losing grip on reality part, or the troll part?

[dagill2]

To be fair, i don’t think anyone here is saying that high carbs are not an effective way to eat, for some people. I think the main argument is that taking “i respond better to high carbs” and assuming that that means a 2 x Olympia winner would also do better high carb is arrogant and delusional.

[fitafter40]

And thats fair

my point was pointing that some olympian champions used carbs to their benefit

Like i said, there is more than one way to skin a cat

I knew such an innocuous sounding thread gaining so many replys in a short space of time was going to be a fucktard show yet i still entered. Fuck.

Nothing fails like success.

It’s a really odd strategy to continually use superior results as evidence of inferior method.

This board has now reached the rock bottom for a HIT forum. When a bunch of arm chair experts with no credentials to their name start discussing how much better former Mr. Olympias and some classic physiques of the golden age could have looked better with their diet and training, you know you have reached the rock bottom of the HIT forum discussion. And then you started discussing how the Mr. Olympia could not be fair. We’re just one more 1980 Olympia discussion away from the trifecta of HIT posts. Shut it down the forum it is a wasteland now.

1980 Olympia

Casey Viator was robbed man. Robbed.

@dagill2

Casey Viator was robbed man. Robbed.

It’s all a giant Weider conspiracy to rival the JFK assassination that he can rig all of these contests with dozens of judges and contestants in on it. If only one of the hundreds of people that have to know the truth would talk we could finally crown the true 1980 Mr. Olympia… Casey Viator.

It wouldn’t be ‘rock bottom’ as you say if people’s replies were intelligent and respectful. Instead, because people’s heroes and fad diets (high protein, no carbs) were challenged, they are acting like babies in their responses.

Ahh, one thing you have said that is accurate. The bodybuilders who promoted Weider’s system and products win the contests.

No-one here is defending either of these things. We’re attacking the notion that you, as someone with zero achievements in the field, think you know better than a 2x Mr Olympia. Its laughable, hence the laughter.

Observe:

@SlowTwitch

His muscles were too small and too flat due to his high-protein and lo-carb to no-carb diet.

@SlowTwitch

Are you telling me that Arnold, Zane, Sergio, Scott, etc could not have been bigger or better than they were?

@SlowTwitch

What’s not educational about realizing that Arnold could have been even bigger from a few changes in his diet and Zane could have been a lot bigger? Lord knows Zane had a lot of room to grow in size.

@SlowTwitch

So if eating carbs makes you feel better then it is good for your health and therefore necessary.

@SlowTwitch

Who knows if Lesnar could have been more massive by injecting some carbohydrates in his diet.

@SlowTwitch

I personally think that Zane could have been bigger and just as cut (heaven forbid I suggest this, fellas) had he eating more carbs and even bigger then had he trained in HIT-style.

@SlowTwitch

it seems like he could have been 15 pounds bigger if he had eaten pasta and rice, etc.

No, No, No. If you agreed with what I said, it wouldn’t matter if I had no bodybuilding or fitness achievements.
