Disaster after following the TA principles.

[The_Leafy_Bug]

What happened to True Adonis's all McDonald's diet that was supposed to happen this year. I thought there was supposed to be pics, videos, & reciepts. I guess that was bullshit huh?

I ate a box of oreos yesterday and i have vains in my abs...

It's just week one...subtle difference obviously but I'm improved.  I will be over 200 in the same condition by September, if not sooner.  Point is, TA's principles didn't work for me.  The fact that virtually everyone in the industry subscribes to principles which are the complete opposite is kind of a hint that TA might just be wrong.

TA's advice from 2005:

I was a piglet.

But you know what.

I gained alot of muscle in a quick amount of time.

I reccomend becoming a piglet at least once to see what happens. I started at 135 lbs

Excellent advice!  Agreed 100%!!!

One week after resuming my regular diet:

did you some dare you to take that pic or did you lose a bet?

[Camel Jockey]

Why did you exactly follow TA's principles when they went against every bbing diet norm?

I trusted TA when I shouldn't have.  I'm not even going to justify my reasons for following his principles.  The way I see it, we are all entitled to make mistakes every now and then and I will live and learn.

I am curious...what were you hoping to accomplish on the TA concentration camp diet?

LOLOLOL.

Apparently maintaining 100% of my muscle mass and solely losing fat and water weight.  TA continually claimed his diet was 100% anti-catabolic.

from what I have read losing 1lb per week is the most anyone should go for.

cutting calories always makes me feel weak.. I find that I look and feel better when I eat more (but clean) and throw in some cardio..

you still have no reason to think that you lost muscle except for your womanly anxiety

[Matt C]

I looked softer and smaller...it would appear that I lost muscle.  Even if I did just lose fat and water the point is that I looked worse.

Clip of me from today:

This may be why my chest never developed as it should have.

Maybe you already said this, but how long did you follow TA's principles?

[pobrecito]

You would make a better powerlifter than bodybuilder. When will you start steroids?

[Matt C]

Maybe you already said this, but how long did you follow TA's principles?

Basically in April and May.  But also a little before and a little after.

You didn`t follow shit.  I never once instructed you.  Stop claiming something you never took part in.

[Matt C]

The TA principles have been heavily discussed on posts here on getbig.  No you did not instruct me, but I did learn the principles through reading many of your posts here.  If I were to post my pictures during my TA program, it would embarrass both of us.

Post the pictures.  You will destroy yourself because you will look the same.  You must have something to hide, since you won`t post these very pics.

[Van_Bilderass]

Matt, how many dbols are you taking right now? LOL don't act like you don't know

That's a decent weight for DB press, Matt

But don't you have to be a certain size before you wear a tank top on Getbig ?  

[Matt C]

LOL!!!

The pictures below cannot just be explained due to the pump, lightning, shaving, angle, posing, picture quality, etc.  That plays a role obviously, but I assure you that the difference between myself now and while I was using the TA principles are night and day.  Discuss...

You look EXACTLY the same.  One you are flexing, one you are not.  Your abdominal region looks the same especially.

[Matt C]

Yeah, my abs and legs are the same.  But I have improved in other areas, albeit only slightly now.

I don't think anything will convince you...I will post a 200+ pound version of the same picture when I am done bulking in the traditional way which has consistently worked for me since I began bodybuilding.

I also think you looked best in this picture (outstanding physique!!):

[Prof Moriarty]

Matt,

You definitely look better in the second pic, though your legs need a big more mass.  Your traps need some more development: do you DL or PC?  Otherwise great job, looking good!

Thanks!  Yes I do DL in fact...here is a clip:

That is the maximum lift I have recorded on youtube but at my peak I was capable of mid 400s with the same form.  Not the best form ever, but I got it up and to me that is the most important part of a deadlift.

I can't say I have ever tried PCs!  Do you recommend them?

This one looks better.

[Van_Bilderass]

LOL!!!

You little weasel! LOL, I think you're at 20-30mg

TA principles this and that... the difference between the pics is the dbol
