why does the misc hate Ian McCarthy so much? (srs)

[xslick]

because people refuse to acknowledge/admit that someone with an average physique can teach them something...srs. they listen to people like greg plitt and layne norton because of their physique, not because what they say is true. it's quite sad IMO.

too bad most people judge him for his appearance/attitude, rather than for the information he puts out. his information is solid and makes bodybuilding even more enjoyable.




also notsureifsrs @ gaining muscle at a caloric deficit (IF you are not a beginner or on drugs)

So with your logic, you would trust a surgeon who have not done any open heart surgeries before but reads a ton of books over a surgeon whose had experience and done a bunch of open heart surgeries before? notsureifsrs
You can read all the books in the world, but if you don't apply it then it's fking useless.

its because making videos about bodybuilding isnt enough, he has to call out everyone else in the process.

people dont have a problem with his information, they have a problem with his attitude

As for me personally, this.

[tech99]

haters gonna hate. went from a 90 pound anorexic to building quite a solid amount of muscle. i remember when he first started his channel and was talking about IIFYM and everyone thought he was a moron. until eric helms, matt ogus, jeff alberts, ryan doris etc. all said they agree with his information. stop being dumbasses and give this kid his respect. he puts out solid information based on research instead of 99 percent of these douches that spread misinformation.

[Jfern689]

Let me say it plain and simple:

Ian McCarthy is a socially inept manlet with an inferiority complex that misconstrues itself as arrogance. He has zero social skills and the consistent state of being a shadow in real life (more than likely during highschool) and nobody caring about his opinion or, more generally, him has made him the way that he is.

Now he's find his niche online and uses his decent vocabulary and vocal articulation to come across as an intellectual (when he's clearly not) in a realm (lifting) that accepts almost anybody and everybody and has no real established set of rules.

NOW... It certainly doesn't help that he's been lifting for 7 years, acts like he knows everything, is a manlet, and yet still hasn't made any noteworthy gains.

I suggest you watch this video to get a real grasp of who you're dealing with, here:



Go to around 45 minutes and you'll see him start talking about how he "doesn't want to see young men abandon college/education for bodybuilding, blah blah...". Mike P then poses the question: "Why do you care so much about what they do with their lives?". And you see every single insecurity and personality problem that Ian has rush straight to the forefront of his brain. It exposes who he is and why he does what he does, to his very core.

Furthermore, throughout the video you can see that he doesn't actually know anything about the science behind what he talks about. He simply regurgitates paraphrased information that he has memorized. The difficulty in believing or caring about what this kid has to say is that he has zero credible foundation to stand on because he clearly has not adapted the principles he so thoroughly believes in, in any real world scenario that has displayed any true benefit to the contrary principles at play.

He's just a kid, with a bad childhood, who doesn't really know much but has decent articulation and memory, with a fanbase of naive lifters on the internet who have even less practical experience in bodybuilding than he does.

This defines Ian perfectly.

[bobbobson]

people don't dislike him because of his information, they dislike him because he comes across as a douche

that's basically it

[vincelombard]

Mind blown at comments like "He doesnt need to have a great body to be informative".

Thats like saying, im going to get trained in boxing by this dude who knows heaps about boxing, but lost every single one of his fights.

Your results are a reflection of your knowleage.

u R stupid

[Jfern689]

people don't dislike him because of his information, they dislike him because he comes across as a douche

that's basically it

His info is not exactly great. He said you can get all your protein in one meal. And like you said he comes across as a know it all douche but the funny thing is he contradicts himself plenty of times.

[tech99]

lol ok bud please explain why you cant get all your protein from one meal ?

[ggNoRe83]

I'll use an analogy. Who is going to take tips on how to get rich quick from someone who is dirt poor.

by that logic you would take financial advice from someone who inherited millions of dollars from their parents ?

.

That was brilliant.

[jamesggg]

lol reds gonna red, i think you completely misunderstood what he was trying to say and then tried to justify your stance using some completely retarded logic.

[Batdad]

But the thing is, all the guys that ian attacks have had chiittty starting points until they used smaller,denser in nutrtion meals and intense workouts to achieve there phyqsiue.

Ians fame and foundation comes from attacking people...thats all, he has no solid evidence nor a proper understanding of how enzymes work and why eating in one portion is not optimal for bodybuilding

[leangains69]

None of the information he has stated is wrong at all , what's the proble ?

[IanPhelps]

He is ruining a good name.

bro, you just went full retard meal frequency has already been debunked. I would own your ass with posting studies now but I'm on iPad

[NZninja101]

I don't even 'hate' him. But the guy's attitude is in such a form that I can understand why people do.

[OPisphaggot]

Douchebagg bans people who disagree with him...his page is full of nuthuggers, and any comment disagreeing with him will be deleted...
Strong insecure ******* he is.

[SPARTAAAAA]

Ian Mc Poptart



i dont know how Dave Pulcinella didnt punch him square in the face.

[Musc1eBound]

I've always enjoyed Elliot Hulse videos.

[Beauuu]

the guy just regurgitates stuff he read on wikipedia.

he doesnt have any sort of advanced degree, nor has he actually used his knowledge to get big. he doesnt have any credibility, in physique or academics.

plus he seems like a dick.

Doesn't he have a degree in nutritional science..?

[Forum]

Doesn't he have a degree in nutritional science..?

Nope...he's studying philosophy...FREAKING undergraduate philosophy, not physiology, biochemistry, sports nutrition. He's just as qualified to coach as my 13 year old niece with an iphone and access to wikipedia.

I wouldnt say a damn thing if he were debating fellow philosophers about Descartes, Socrates, Plato. BUT...to hold a seminar about bodybuilding and charging people for it while wearing a freaking cheap suit to pretend to be a professor. My goodness...smh. He has to be the most narcisstic 19 year old around. If he wants to debate sport nutrition, my advice to him would be, quit your freaking philosophy degree and go enrol in a proper science degree in nutritional biochemistry. Then, maybe we can talk about credibility.

[Quadzillas]

He's gone and attacked Jason Blaha again today, calling him a liar and a coward. Jason had done nothing to provoke this, and he is a highly experienced and knowledgeable guy who puts out scientific - based information. Basically, he is like Ian, but has the experience to back it up, doesn't take 25 minutes to explain how to do a bicep curl, and doesn't act like a ******* to other youtube users.

Either Ian does this because he feels threatened by people like Jason, who also talk science but actually look like they lift, or as was said it is just a cynical way to make money from views. Either way, he is insufferable.

[nonamewut]

i dont hate him but what i have started to hate is his intros in his vids " HAY GUISE EYUN MACFARTHY HEARE, WYT NOBULLCHITBODYBUILDING AND LYFTING 4 LYFE" with the whiniest voice

[Jfern689]

None of the information he has stated is wrong at all , what's the proble ?

You are a obvious nut hugger. The guy has plenty of stupid info and he even contradics himself. Not to mention when he is wrong and someone questions what he says he blocks and deletes like a little girl.

[JStruthers85]

Kid is a beta fat ******* phuck. Would like to wrap my hands around his neck and squeeze the soulless weak vessel he calls his body.

[maxcoleman]

The main problem with Ian is that he's a cocky know it all kunt. He frequently attacks other people on youtube, who have much MUCH better physiques, and years (sometimes decades) of experience over Ian, who is like 19. That and the fact that there are two issues with his "knowledge". First, it apparently doesn't work for him. Supposedly he has been training for 3 years, so that would put him at 16 when he started, an optimal age to start making gains. Yet he looks liek he's 12. So either he doesn't train and he's just out there for youtube fame (likely) or he just sucks dik at training.

Next, he is just regurgitating what he has read. He has no education in the subject, which wouldn't be a problem except he hasn;t applied any of the knowledge to himself, yet he si trying to tell others how to train and sh!tting on people who DO know what they are doing. He has no understanding of the information he is spewing at the camera past reading it off of google and a textbook.

He tries to portray himself at some type of professor (lol) when in reality he is just a 19 year old kunt with a big attitude problem.

Perfect vid I found to explain my point of view:

Amazing video, repped. Who is this guy? He's my new hero srs

[Berez]

His info is not exactly great. He said you can get all your protein in one meal. And like you said he comes across as a know it all douche but the funny thing is he contradicts himself plenty of times.

you can get all your protein in one meal you fkn imbecile.

Please don't use the body argument when he looks better than you.

[iLiketoLift898]

He's a pseudo-intellectual who tries to make the act of picking heavy things up and putting them down again more complicated then it really is, instead of actually doing something with his life. Also, he's a manlet.
