Title: ANOTHER Bodybuilding MYTH.
Post by: The True Adonis on March 12, 2007, 07:23:58 PM
Another Bodybuilding myth is that it is painful to be 3 and 4 percent bodyfat.

It is not.  I operate perfectly as does this guy.

Do you think he has any problem doing what he does at 3-4 percent Bodyfat?

No.  And his work and training is ALOT harder and demanding than anything a bodybuilder will EVER do.

It's comparing apples to oranges, could Coleman pull off an iron cross? Doubt it.

I hardly believe that this guy could deadlift over 600lbs.

I'm not certain it's even possible. Assuming for a second you're talking about using calipers they wouldn't compensate for intraabdominal fat, myelin and a lot of other places fat gets stored. Not sure what level fat levels can fall to that would interfere with proper physiology without overstressing the liver or destroying muscle. Guy did have great back definition but I really doubt that's 3% bf.

considering that bodybuilders generally only maintain that low bf for extremely short periods of time, it's highly doubtful a gymnast (or anyone else) would just sit around there all the time.

Well, he is a gymnast, so you know he's going to do tumbling routines and some other shit... I've never seen a gymnast who was fat or had shitty legs... He probably looks pretty good all around, but that's just a guess.

                       P.S. Someone should ask Flex Wheeler if it is indeed painfull. After all, he did in fact obtain a body fat level of 0.0% back in 1993 during his Mr. Olympia prep.

That guy at the lowest could be 5%.  Highly doubtful in that pic he is lower than that.  Olympic gymnasts during the Olympics and major comps might get to 3% but not all year long.  These guys throw up and are on the edge of being anorexic in some cases.  They eat a ton of carbs.  A gymnast training is unreal and blows any BB's out of the water.  They have to be as strong as possible for their bodyweight.  And please Apenis DO NOT compare yourself to this guy.  He has visible muscle, you don't.  Your muscles have no shape or size.  Anyone including my fat ass if they were as skinny as you and never lifted a weight you will still see the muscles we are born with.  You want to impress someone.  Eat the way you say you eat (2600 cals a day), stay lean and gain significant muscle and strength.  Right now all you are is skinny as hell.  NO muscle and NO strength.  Not a good mixture.

Do you realize at 136 lbs, which he weighs,if he was at 5 percent, if he lost 3 lbs of fat, he would drop 2.2 percent bodyfat.  Clearly he has done so as his weight has been as low as 133 on occassion.

A 2lb fat loss would bring him closer to 3% whereas 2% would bring him closer to a hospital.
The fact that he weighed 133 before does not support your assumption that he was 3%. He could have had less muscle tissue or been dehydrated at that lower weight.

What would you consider a valid reason for him to have a lower bodyfat level than 5%?

Meh. I did gynastics for years. Rings will build shoulders like that over the years. The exceptional biceps are more genetic. Some guys have them, some don't. I've seen enough of these guys to know that he is probably 5'6" or shorter, about 145lbs and his legs are not as spectacular as his upper body. Legs, besides the floor exercise and vault, are used mostly for balance, not strength, in the various events. Hope ya feel better about yourself.

Where did you learn to do maths?

At 136lbs and 5% bodyfat he has 6.8lbs of fat and 129.2 lbs of lean body mass.

If he loses 2lbs of fat he would have 4.8lbs of fat.  4.8lbs as a percentage of 134lbs equals 3.5 percent.

I've seen enough of these guys to know that he is probably 5'6" or shorter, about 145lbs and his legs are not as spectacular as his upper body. Legs, besides the floor exercise and vault, are used mostly for balance, not strength, in the various events. Hope ya feel better about yourself.

Do you realize at 136 lbs, which he weighs,if he was at 5 percent, if he lost 3 lbs of fat, he would drop 2 percent bodyfat.  Clearly he has done so as his weight has been as low as 133 on occassion.

The only thing clear is that you changed your figures!
You offer absolutely no evidence to prove that his weight loss of 3lbs was due to a drop in fat levels. Have you considered dehydration, muscle loss or a different set of scales?
Can you provide the records of his weight?

Of course not. That is nitpicking.

The man could easily lose 3 lbs of fat if he wanted.  Thats a mere walk in the park my friend behind the lens.

WARNING


Dear Get Big,

  You're about to discover the most delusional and pathological liar on the internet today.  This man is claiming to have developed principles of diet programs fitness models for bodybuilders to reach single digit body fat levels.  Now on top of that he will private message and tell you for a fee he will get you into shape.

  Over the past 9 years, through a long and painstaking process of trial, error, Adonis has done only a internet bodybuilding show and took second place. Now he asks for money because he's claiming to have a surefire system for losing body fat,  based on  no known education or training in nutrition or competitive bodybuilding experience with in the fitness industry.


   The True Adonis is a grifter on the internet, who will manipulate the web community and find a mark into his tricks or dishonest plan. Sometimes Adonis will rely on naive individuals who put their confidence in to his schemes, such as "too good to be true" claims. It may take months for the wider community to discover that such claims are bogus, and usually it is too late, as many people have lost time and money.



Thank You

Wolfgang

Another Bodybuilding myth is that it is painful to be 3 and 4 percent bodyfat.

It is not.  I operate perfectly as does this guy.

Do you think he has any problem doing what he does at 3-4 percent Bodyfat?

No.  And his work and training is ALOT harder and demanding than anything a bodybuilder will EVER do.

Just so you understand, bodybuilding is not trying to get yourself to the lowest bodyfat percentage possible.  It is trying to gain as much muscle mass in proportion as you can, and maximizing conditioning to show these gains.  You are not a bodybuilder.  Please do not give adivce as such.  Once you step on a stage, and are there for everyone to see live (not behind your screen) maybe some of us will give you this consideration.  Until then I advise you to create your own message board to spew this irrational horse shit.

Actually...this is quite true...male gymnasts' lower body is generally lagging behind their upper.  Whats weird is that the female gymnasts legs look proportionally bigger than their upper body.

A 2lb fat loss would bring him closer to 3% whereas 2% would bring him closer to a hospital.
The fact that he weighed 133 before does not support your assumption that he was 3%. He could have had less muscle tissue or been dehydrated at that lower weight.

adonis does not have a single striation anywhere but his shoulders. if you're down at 4% or so there are going to be lines going from sternum to shoulder blade. and more than that, he has no pictures in strong light, they're all heavily shaded, dim, and at goofy angles.

adam, take one picture outside. just one. pose in sunlight, see what happens to your "shredded physique" when its not photoshopped, filtered, and tweaked to make you look as good as the computer will allow.

Adonis was roughly 7-8% bodyfat at the Mr. Getbig.

3-4% would be shredded to the bone, striated glutes, etc..

How I achieved my goal of 4% body fat by eating peanuts out of my own shit.

By The True Adonis

You might say this is pretty astonishing, but then you might be one of those mere ignorami who subscribe to the idea that you’ve got to ‘eat right’ to lose weight. Well, I’m here to blow holes in that silly myth. I achieved 4 % body fat by eating the peanuts, pea husks, and other caloric legumes out of my own shit. Oh, and with a little Vodka sauce, which is a combination of savory tomatoes, olive oil, cheeses, basil, garlic, oregano and a kick of vodka. Emeril has some very good vodka sauce. I eat it all the time, with the peanuts out of my own shit, of course.

You see, a calorie is calorie, and one simply needs to consume less calories, no matter what they are, than one burns. Cardio is not necessary, because I have this ‘equation’ wherein I consider the thermal and mechanical output of my body, calculate my basal metabolic rate, and simply eat less than that.

Eating the peanuts out of my own shit makes it even easier. This is because I get the full caloric value out of the legume, instead of this mythological “calorie value” you’re supposed to get from the first time around. I find it takes at least three passages to get the full flavor and caloric content from my legumes.

Sometimes I eat the peanuts out of my own shit with a Burger King Whopper. Of course, then I’m eating the sesame seeds out of my own shit for a day or two, which are quite good with Vodka sauce…Did I mention that Emeril has some very good vodka sauce?

Adam then throws up some voodoo math which any elementary school kid could prove wrong..then claims typo

in an attempt to change topics he posts a link on the theory of everything. Just so that we understand your back ground in this area, can you tell us what college you graduated from and what area you specialized in?
