I couldn’t get the dip one to work, but I don’t do them to begin with. I think that they are no good for your shoulders long term, and plus they never did anything for my bench press anyway.

On the other hand, I have been doing chins since Nov. 05. I could barely do my bodyweight for 5 sets of 8 to begin with and now I can do 5*8 with 45 lbs.
I can also do a chin up with 145 pounds at a bodyweight of 185. My goal is to do twice bodyweight and then 400 total pounds.

Good job for a fruit eater though.

How do you figure? Dips are way easier to do than chins. Do you even do chins and dips?

Da Fruitarian, if everything you’ve posted is true, and if you continue to build strength and size on this diet, please visit your nearest medical school so they can study you in depth. Science would have a lot to learn from your body, and I’d be very interested in reading about it.

They really would. I know a guy who lives off fruit and barely eats at all. He eats one decent meal sometimes. He says he’s been doing it for very long and his body will reject food if he tries to eat normally. He also said that he can neither loose nor gain weight - his body metabolism seems to be fixated on this one weight and never shifts more than a couple of pounds in any direction.

Now the dude isn’t really big, but very ripped and solid. I guess these are rare cases with freak metabolisms. You’d think eating sweet fruit would give you diabetes but I guess if that’s your only calorie source the body doesn’t process it the same way it otherwise would.

Some of the biggest apes just eat greens and fruit, cows and horses can live on grass… but I’ve got a protein shake and it 'ain’t the time for experiments :slight_smile:

There are plenty of very fit raw foodists out there. While you may not run across very many HUGE ones, you will find that many are in excellent condition. It’s a common misconception that raw foodists are malnurished. Humans, like every other creature on Earth, are designed to eat raw food.

Raw foodists don’t generally concern themselves with caloric intake or macronutrients and eat more intuitively. From what I’ve experienced, you can’t really apply standard nutritional principles to a raw food diet. What kind of screws things up is that mainstream nutritional science primarily studies diets that include substantial amounts of cooked food in them.

The body simply reacts differently to cooked foods. It percieves them as a threat.

Many raw foodists believe that modern nutrition science is, in essence, studying how we can poison ourselves over the most extended period of time. It would be unnecessary if humans didn’t mutate our natural diet so much.

So, stories like the above aren’t an anomoly. They’re the norm among raw foodists who work out. The unfortunate part is that there just aren’t that many raw foodists running around. Cooked food is too addicting.[/quote]

That sounds like the stupidest think I’ve ever heard. Cooked food is a threat?

gayest thread ever. But what a cool troll character.

im getting sick of all these vegans and veggies trying to push their freaking veiws on me, if i want to eat meat ill eat fucking meat, ive slaughterd animals myself its no big deal and guess what ill let you all in on a little secret

ANIMALS EAT OTHER LIVING THINGS TO SURVIVE

since we are animals we need to eat other living things, when you eat those plants they are live things you are snuffing out as you chew on them, what did they ever do to you? think of their feelings!

if you want to live all natural more power to you, you can certainly live a long life on no protein and only uncooked fruits and veggies, id rather live a long life and be muscular and powerful and athletic

i know im named after a hippie, and im one myself, but that doesnt mean you have to stop eating meat, sure i dont like the torturing of animals before slaughter and all that fun stuff, but we are made to eat both meat and plants so why fuck with mother nature? bad stuff usually happenes when we do that

oh and id like to see the world sustained on a vegan diet, well just cut down all hte remaining forests to make more feilds and plant crops and then leech the soil dry of nutrients and all starve to death

147

I think in the future they will be able to let bacteria produce high quality protein and possibly other nutrients. I think meat-eating, and possibly plant-eating will come to an end. Or we will eat them mainly for taste.

That’s good to see. How’s the Vitamin B12 deficiency coming along? I know you must not be taking supplemental B12, as that would go against your natural lifestyle credo.

And its not just B12 that we need from animal protein sources. That just happens to be the one nutrient they’ve discovered so far. Did you niacin (or maybe it was riboflavin… one of those) wasn’t even discovered until 1980??

Oh, but gorillas eat only plants, right? Wrong. They eat insects (animal protein) on a regular basis.

It’s all right here:

That website can tell you far better than I why some form of animal protein is essential to long-term human health.

Yes, vegans, that goes for you too. Sorry, I don’t make these rules, it was nature.

(Rebuttlle to Tom Billings interview)

At the end of the day who really cares what I eat, I thrive on fruits and some people thrive on junk food who cares??? everyone has there own opinions and it’s great that we have a forum where we can all express that…have a great day/workout guys!

152

I just want to let you all know that I was a member of “Da Fruitarian 1”'s discussion board, and that he banned me without an explanation. What I had done was being not 100% concinced about fruitarianism, I wrote things like: “Some people MIGHT get too little protein if they eat only fruit”, and “Fruit contains much less protein than for example meat, and it’s not of the same quality”. He later responded to me that I was banned because I “spread negativity”.

I think it’s frightening that there are places where I’m not allowed to express less than 100% halleluja and praise without being banned, and that I should not be able to express a little doubt.

153

Do you know what provides you with vitamin b12 in your diet? It is essential for life (so they say) and is supposed to only be available in meat.

154

I cound’t care less what you eat, you look better than me and the majority here, keep it up.

155

nice job Da Fruitarian

i rarely see people doing weighted dips or chinups…normally they are doing the assisted kind

i am also able to put up 180lb dips and 90lb chins @ bodyweight 150.

i’ve always been wondering this, random question for anyone:

i have this theory that heavier guys have to lift BW+more weight than a lighter guy for equal strength.

example:
-Heavy Guy (weighs 200lbs) does a weighted bodyweight chinup plus 40lbs.
-Light Guy (weighs 165lbs) does a weighted bodyweight chinup plus 40lbs.

are they the same strength?

when it comes to weighted bodyweight exercises i normally go by what i lift percentage-wise compared to my current bodyweight, instead of pure numbers like BWplus40.

opinions?

Every living thing, in my opinion has a soul (spirit whatever you want to call it). Don’t fool yourself. I’m not sure about carrots though.

That is not too tolerant. He’s being two-faced I’m afraid.

Actually, yes. Cooked food is interpreted by the body as a threat. Raw foods contain enzymes that, when cooked over 120 degrees or so, are killed (60%-100%). The body uses enzymes for every function–kidneys, lungs, heart, even your bones have enzymes in them. When you eat cooked food your body has to use its stored enzymes to break it down, borrowing from organs and your bones. You can imagine what kind of an effect this has on your long-term health picture. It’s been shown that after eating cooked food there is a corresponding increase in white blood cell count, similar to the levels you would see if you were fighting a virus. So yeah, cooked food is a threat.

Now, having said that, knowing this to be the case, there is no way in hell I’m giving up my steak, fish and chicken. I’m gonna stick with my high-protein diet because charred animal meat is just so damn TASTY!!!

159

God I hate vegans/vegoterians and everyone of that ilk.

Hmmm…
A really strong guy that doesnt eat anywhere near what we consider to be optimial protein intake…
Is the whole thing of needing a lot of protein just a myth?
