I agree, but in this situation this guy needs an extreme fat loss diet, in my opinion carnivore is his best choice for this, if we are talking about someone who is at 12% offseason bodyfat starting prep, then I would maybe recommend a carb cycle diet, slowly bring him down, hell you can prep people without having to do any cardio if it's not really necessary John Meadows does is all the time. But in this specific instance, Vince is not at the greatest starting point and needs to pull out all the stops straight out the gate.
Let it go, man. He's as receptive to advice as a pile of sunflower seed casings under some dirty bleachers at a little league park.
Use your looks, gravitas, and talent to talk to people who want your advice, of which there's a great many in gyms and fitness centers across the country; you know, young guys with lifting gloves, straps, tank tops, and a drive to get big or cut but no one to turn to besides the muscled out rats at their gyms that don't talk to them unless it's to demand they get off the Smith machine to make room for them.
Vince is like a 1983 Pontiac Thunderbird with a broken transmission and no replacement parts. His engine runs fine but he isn't going anywhere this decade.
