This is like the opposite of that article in TIME about exercising not making you fit... so sad.

[deafbrah]

dumba$$ and fat.

[Hanzou]

That guy is an idiot. Unless you are trainingg as a fighter, powerlifter or maybe even an elite sports athlete. Diet is most important. He is essentially saying that you can continue to eat fast food all day but hit the gym and you will be awesome. This would work if you burned a couple thousand calries at the gym except nobody does that. This guy is a douche.

Edit: He just said he low fat things versus high fat things, ugh...

My god, this guy is an idiot. I want to shoot myself in the face, having this video play in the background right now as I type.

Funny thing is he even has a video where he says that marathon runners running a 5 minute mile only burn 650-700 cals an hour. Seems pretty contradictory.

Wow, he must be from MoronsVille. So stretching > eating, lolololololz.

That yellow shirt is ghey, by the way.

Not going to watch in fear of getting dumber. Kind of like watching Oprah, It's just not worth it.

Stopped reading at 90%/10%.

Experience dictates otherwise.

This guy is an idiot, and I am not clicking the link.

The title of this post told me all i needed to know.

Anyone who's cut successfully knows the truth.

[Anitcol]

Well if thats the case I saw we all eat Wendy's 6 times a day!

[theapexxxx]

This guy's an idiot. For cereal.

[lift4today]

I sort of get what he's saying when he says the best diet in the world won't do squat without the weight training and cardio to go with it....

but 90%/10%?...hogwash

[Beachman]

^^^This.

He is exaggerating it a lot, but if you workout intensely everyday it can make up for a bad diet. I know from my own experience. I think it all depends on what your goal is on how important the diet is. Of course a good diet is gonna give you superior results, but someone trying to increase there strength or size can get away with a bad diet. It's true you can lose weight with a good diet, but that doesn't neccessarily mean you are in good physical shape. So there is a little bit of merit to what he's saying.

[SquatTilYouDrop]

I didn't click on it.

Because 90+% of the posts in the thread used the word "idiot/moron/fatazz" and less than 10 % didn't.

How ironic!

[supy]

Another dumbass. While training is important proper nutrition and nutrition timing( what to eat, when to eat) specially for the over 40 crowd is dam near equal. Lets not forget proper sleep and recovery

If being at least above average is your goal, then you can't out train a bad diet.

[OnTheReg]

what a ****tard...this guy would probably pour kerosine into the fuel cell of a race car and expect it to go fast.

[JOSEF RAKICH]

I say its 100% training and 100% diet.

^^^^This. The guy in the vid is depriving a village, somewhere, of it's idiot.

i think it's 50 50 you cannot gain muscle or sucessfully retain it without training..but at the same time you need to adjust calories to reach goals and have a varied healthy diet to support your body.

[Adrenolin]

My diet has been **** for the past 6 mos and I've still made some good gains...dropped down from 280 hit a few squat and dead pr's. At one point I even had a slight six pack. Fuck Yeah! Fuck Diet!

[dmoge]

I was in a cast for a couple months and have been back into the gym for a little less than 2 months and have shown quite a bit of progress, with a diet that isn't that great and high volume workouts. I've gained muscle aswell as strength every week. I'm 185 now, which is 10-15 pounds more than what my regular weight has been the past 4 years, and it's almost all muscle (you can still see my abs). Maybe I'm just lucky.

some people could probably smoke crack and make gains...it doesnt mean its the right thing to do.

Regardless a poor diet can lead to many health problems. Training all you want while young can sometimes have a misleading effect about the role of a great diet but rest assured when you get older it will become more pressing.

Some people believe steroids are a green light to eating whatever and just like the 90% in my gym that take them they look terrible. The 10% that understand the game look amazing. A major part of that game is diet.

Do not confuse newbie gains with longterm gains. Honestly I say take the first year and say that was your newb gain zone. You could eat skittles 24/7 on newb gains and still turn out avg results but later on you will hit a wall that is a mountain high due to the fact your lacking a good diet.


My 2 cents.

Some lucky people have great genes which means they dont have to give much thought to their diet, but eventually there will come a point where you run into trouble.
Like everything, its different for everyone, but for most people diet is pivotal to optimizing your development.

[chazzy1864]

I was going ot multi quote a few people, and refute the statements, but it is too early to get into debates over ignorance this morning.

[DKSwift]

Oh man just think how many people who see that video clip might actually believe him, one thing I have learnt recently that what his saying really isnt true, diet is essential.

[mossible]

Just thought 10% diet is funny and we all think the same..Would that be possible for "normal" citizens?
