All I know is that I’m loving the pic updates from Bauber in here. Great work, bud. It would be awesome to see you and Stu get together and share info. I’m sure that would result in something awesome. Keep it up, though. Looking sick.
Also, I have to agree with those saying X isn’t leaner than Bauber. They look very similar in leanness, with Bauber carrying MUCH more muscle. X looks about the same as always.
Does it just happen to be a coincidence that virtually every single persons who looks awesome and who’s picture was posted in here as an example of how eating 6 meals a day is a great idea is:
Coincidence?
I foresee a 50 page thread in the making. I shall gather some popcorn.
It makes me lol that you guys are really emphasizing how MUCH more muscle Bauber has.
Not “much” but “MUCH”!!! Hahah
I would love to see Stu prep Bauber, that would be a hell of a prep log to follow. Obviously as it is a business for Stu, the information we would have access to would be somewhat limited but it would be awesome to watch the progress and any insights into the process that Stu could share on the forums. I think it would be great exposure for you as a prep coach also, Stu. Everyone on the boards knows you’re very knowledgeable and an extremely accomplished bb’er, but I think following the process of you prepping someone like Bauber would garner a lot of interest in your services!

Not only that, but the old “correlation =/= causation” has been completely ignored. The frequent eating fad has been predominating for decades now. And as a result, just about any dedicated guy with an impressive body has been likely following it. Doesn’t mean their body was “built by 6x/day”, it was build by extra calories and macro ratios.
The only reason to eat more often is if the meals become too large. NOT because frequent feeding has any benefit in and of itself. It doesn’t.
Professor if a person is truly busy do you think that a protein shake can be substituted for a meal once in a while?

I actually find that, as more and more different studies come out all saying different things, and we in turn spend more time arguing about the studies themselves and how poorly they were performed, the only thing I have faith in these days is correlation.
I’ve given up on finding out why things work, and simply find myself content with the fact that they work. It’s helped my training out a lot.

yes, but not during contest prep. You will hold water. Also make sure to chew the shake and drink it slowly so you get that proper digestive enzyme release.
other bullshit I’ve heard:
-eat 6x a day, C+P meals in the morning tapering to F+P meals at night. 8x/day if you’re a pro obviously
-keep a shake premade next to your toilet so you can slam it at 2 am
-beef is better than chicken. it just has that extra factor to it. If you’re dieting down, beef will help you hold onto muscle much better
-steel cut oats are better than rolled oats
-don’t do curls or laterals, just row often and do 3 sets of military press 1x a week
aka bodybuilding is 2 steps back 1 step forward. thanks broscience recommendations

The answer from everyone is it’s fine.

Thanks. I’ve been called anti-intellectual before over my thought process, but I am ok with that if it means I am big and strong, haha.

I think it would be safe to assume that they had similar diets. “Like father like son” and all that.
Are you saying that you think the rock is all natural?

Not gonna mention who wrote entire articles about this concept. He’s a bro though with an actual advanced degree.

Yeah, because you’re going catabolic after three hours of not eating and you have to take advantage of the GH release during sleep.

Has to be rinsed though.

Yeah, because they take longer to cook and less processed. So you keep insulin under control. That’s the key to all weight control. Do I have permission to slap the next numbskull who uses the term “insulin response”.

Gotta pinch myself for this one too.

Sure, but you’d have to try both to find that out. I did, and found no difference between 3 and 6 meals, given identical calories. Again, increasing frequency only if the meals get to big, and not just for the sake of it.
And that’s all good.
But what’s frustrating is that this was after years of religiously doing the frequent meals thing, for which - as it turned out - there was never a reason in the first place. “Stoking the metabolic furnace” turned out to be stroking the metaphoric cock of countless guru authors who turned it into gospel without reading the research.
I guess it served a great purpose in teaching me a lesson on buying into “reputable sources” so easily. So, not bad in the end.

I actually don’t try both out. If I try something, and I make progress, I generally don’t change anything. It’s only when I stop progressing that I make changes.
So like, if I ate 6 meals a day and grew bigger, that would be the end of it for me.
It was the end for me too. But now that I know it’s redundant, I switched. So, now that you know, you’d have to not mind wasting your time. 
Wait a week or so and that MUCH will become a “SHIT-TON”.
But simply crunching the numbers Bauber is a 300 pound guy while X is closer to 250 at the same height. Difficult to compare their leanness levels since someone like Bauber will hold a lot of water (for various reasons) that he’ll drop the last week or so before getting on stage.
Anyway, they’re both big.
