One can get away with eating some junk food, but worrying only about hitting your macros is a poor dietary philosophy. If you're not eating a variety of healthy whole foods, you are missing a wealth...

Abs look great. Looks like you're ready.

Are any IFBB Men's Physique pros possibly natty? And to be clear, let me define natty as 100% WADA compliant 365 days/year. If so, who??

So are you saying that 'Classic Physique' is the pro division and 'Classic Bodybuilding' is amateur? (worldwide?) If so, that seems like a poor choice of terms IMO.

Yup, but he has a lot of equally impressive competition in the pro ranks these days.

carbs/protein/fat look pretty good to me. High volume works best for me too -- nice. I personally 'wasted' too much time with lower volume when everyone was saying that a natty shouldn't do high...

Warning about bulking: Don't try to gain a ton of weight quickly. Gaining muscle is a long & slow process unless you're a complete beginner (you know this already). Gaining fat is easy and...

I'm no fan of bodybuilding supplements, but look how small the risk is! So the risk of testicular cancer has gone from almost negligible to almost negligible x 2. I think we all have a far greater...

Don't go to bed without eating protein and carbs after a serious lifting workout.

Are you sleeping enough? How long and intense are your cardio sessions? Is your MWF routine a split, or are you training your entire body each time?

Top IFPA Pro natty bodybuilder -- and by a wide margin, leading many to opine that he can't be natty.

He was leaner than the lightweight winner -- that's unusual. He is incredibly lean for
such astonishing mass. If I did not know who Doug Miller was before this thread, I
would say for certain...

Way too heavy at 5'9" to qualify for IFBB Classic Bodybuilding division -- are those guys natural??
He would do very well in the NPC, yes?! After the Team wilson massive carb/sodium/water loading...

So choose:

A) Doug Miller is to natural bodybuilding what Einstein was to physics (or perhaps even beyond what Einstein was to physics, since Einstein had a number of ultra-genius contemporaries...

I don't know, why don't you ask your wife instead of asking us?

For chest, I prefer dips (with chin in upper chest and legs forward) to decline bench, which I hate -- any exercise with head below hips and heavy weight does not feel healthy to me.

Are you a new lifter? If so, you can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. (If you're not new to the muscle-building game, then it's much harder without Vitamin S -- you know what I mean.) So...

Yeah, I know, though the rules of English are so arbitrary and inconsistent.

choose and schmoose, lose and whose -- all sound similar.

You do make a good point. However, it's not quite the same thing to remove obese diabetics, because the obesity is what caused the diabetes (in most cases), not vice-versa.

As more support for my...

That study is crap because it does not account for important unhealthy causes of low BMI -- habits and conditions. Much has been written about it. Eliminate the cancer patients, addicts, and...
