I'd be keen to see A-Bomb Annie's bulking routine. I probably wouldn't pay for it, but only because I think I have a pretty clear idea of what it entails.

Using Paleo to "bulk" is fucking retarded in my eyes. Jesus fucking christ I hate those Paleo disciples almost as much as I hate @fit.
And 5000 calories a day isn't shit. I'll show a motherfucker how to bulk and they won't need to spend a shitload of money at some pretentious bullshit seminar about eating fucking food to do it.
"Grass fed" and "bulking cycle" should never appear on the same page. But fuck that. I guess "DBol + Chinese buffet" is giving way to tapioca pudding and coconut milk.
If I really wanted to learn about mass and "clean" eating, I'd ask a bodybuilder not a glorified @fitter anyway.
Re: The couch thread
I don't have a beef with them either but let's face it, a couple years ago nobody knew who they were and she followed Wolf around like a disciple learning all she needed to know from him. Now she's a nutrition guru.CultBuster wrote:I don't have beef w/ them and like the way they made @Fit HQ show true colors, but a bulking guide is gay.I don't want to hate on the Whole9 folks a lot, I think they are basically good folks
At least Dallas is a legitimate university schooled man on the subjects of Anatomy and Physical Therapy and for as much as he looks like an Abercrombie model he does have a lot of intelligence in the field and some impressive hops.
I give them credit because they absorbed knowledge well and he has the paper resume to back it up, but a bulking guide is fucking gay.

If it will help her pay for a set of aftermarket accessories then I will gladly buy an e-copy of her bulking article.

Re: The couch thread
After the "bulking" cycle, he still lost about 4-5 pounds of it.
7# of "clean mass gain".
What this means is that at 6'4" and 205#, he has now graduated through hard work to barely a 25.0 BMI, and that he is not "normal weight" any longer.
Strength athletes should not be "normal weight", IMO, particularly as gauged by the BMI.

Re: The couch thread
Nutrition guruism has really come down 1) marketing, 2) "what do you eat to look like ______ or do ______," and 3) the actual biology/biochemistry behind it all. The biochemistry stuff is really like statistics as in you work backwards to justify whatever point it is you're trying to make in the first place. Hell, if I found that eating bat shit would make women look like Kelly Brook, I could make a million off a book. There would be one chapter on what to eat (that's the one everybody turns to first) and the rest of it would be bullshit to justify by $29.99 cover price.Jay wrote:I don't have a beef with them either but let's face it, a couple years ago nobody knew who they were and she followed Wolf around like a disciple learning all she needed to know from him.

So Melissa knows what she needs to know and has marketed it brilliantly (Whole9 is better written and more user friendly that Robb's book). I wish Dallas would do more PT discussions about the stupidity behind the @F movements. But you can only bit the hand that feeds so hard. Unless you're Lisa Lugo.
But the guide is still gay. If I wanted to a clean bulk (where's the fun in that), I'd look at Martin Berkhan or Lulz McD. Or Shaf's ebook.
