His threads got me through many freshman seminar lectures 
I took a few month break from the forums when it happened but when I came back, it looked like a few posters had called him out on always promising to post a picture but never doing so, and about his record breaking numbers.
He defended himself for a bit then just disappeared.
Oh, and heād gone back and removed all photos & videos of himself that heād ever posted, and made his profile private.
Just seemed fishy. I personally donāt really care, if he was a liar then at least he only ever preached consistency and hard work. And some people were cool about it - I think one poster said theyād love to be proven wrong and shown up by him. Some people lost their minds and acted like heād personally hurt them. That was amusing to follow.

He also ripped of a 531 beginners work out and passed it off as his own. All he did was change the way progression was made.
Iām inclined to agree. I mean sure - if he came back and then told me heād deadlifted 700lbs Iād ignore it. But most of what he shared was sound (if somewhat regurgitated) advice.
Like I said a few months back - nuttys beginners programme is a solid programme. Jim Wendler wrote it.

Are you guys talking about @isdatnutty?
How did I miss all of this
I did too. But, replace nutty, with Yogi and itās the same thing.

Was Yogiās disappearing sorrounded by drama too? I always thought he just silently disappeared out of the blue
Yeah, me too. Now I gotta dig around again?
EDIT: Wait, he never posted pics either, right?

This is a stupid question, but when calculating calories for ribs is this refering to 5oz with or without bone
If itās with bone, I think I found the reason for my āmysterious weight gainā 
I thought somebody here met Yogi. Maybe @flipcollar or Iām totally mistaken. And I didnāt see Yogi claiming elite numbers either.
Jshaving is being kind here - nutty was absolutely lying to everyone, repeatedly promised evidence and when some of us called him out on it he ran away with his tail tucked between his legs. He posted form check videos when he was squatting 155 several years ago, then when he was supposedly high bar squatting 500x3 beltless at 186 and promised pictures a year prior, he said he wasnāt comfortable posting pictures, deleted his info off his profile, deleted his form check videos, and his last post was him vowing to keep posting before he ghosted everyone.
I might be totally wrong about Yogi though - maybe nobody met him and he was full of it too. Dunno.
Flip met him. No drama in his departure. Shame to lose him. Very sensible dude.
Donāt know why I wrote that like a telegraph.

K. Thatās what I was gonna say. He seemed pretty reasonable, I didnāt see him claiming anything crazy, and he just left. The other guy was a whole other affair.
How else does a tractor communicate?

Disclaimer: I interacted with nutty few times, so Iām clearly not as well-informed on the matter.
That said, I thought nutty was a nice guy. I must have missed something, as I knew nothing about all of this.
I dunno. Some people just feel as if as long as your message is sound, who cares about the rest. Iām not one of those people, because itās coming into āends justify the meansā territory. The idea of work hard and be consistent is great. But when you back it up with lies, the message loses itās meaning. If I walked up to a bunch of really jacked dudes at the gym and started boasting about numbers, Iād have to back it up at some point.
Really, it just comes down to common sense. We can make all the excuses for him that we want - and a couple people tried to do the same for him - but when the owner of a tech company says he canāt figure out how to record himself for 8 seconds after previously posting videos sporting a tiny physique with no strength, and then disappears instead of providing an iota of proof which could have at least held everyone off, you know theyāre lying. Again - maybe, for some people, āpositivityā is enough of a good trait to keep you around, but I personally donāt have any patience for people completely fabricating numbers to impress everyone else. There are too many people who put themselves out there for critique and bust their ass for me to high-five some dude just because heās āniceā. Itās not nice to lie to people.

Absolutely agreed, in no way was I defending him. I was expressing a tiny bit of disbelief more than anything, as he was one of the guys I would expect something like this to happen from the least
All good - people can tell me to kick rocks if they want to. Just how I felt and whatās in front of me.

I confess I tried one after reading about people liking these. Andā¦it tasted like artificial crap. Biotest shill -the peanut finibar is much, much better; the chocolate is ok. But compared to quest bars, gourmet to gourmand.

I agree with everything you said. I was just trying to keep my explanation brief and not restart any arguments regarding the topic. You worded things well, though.
And btw, Iām now sincerely hoping PC does come back and sees that short interaction we had about him earlier, because his reaction will most likely be hilarious.
I think so too. If I remember correctly, he (Flip) also said just about anybody on here would die to be as jacked as him.
