Disaster after following the TA principles.

[Matt C]

I'm 15, so I'm supposed to  be unemployed and in High School.  What's your excuse for living w/ your parents on a weekly allowance?

Why can't you just accept that the TA principles don't work for everyone?

Discuss.

[pobrecito]

Matt, why don't you train wheels?

Because we all basically have the same bodies and are beholden to the same laws of physics.  So I answered your question, now give mine a shot:

Why do you insist that the principles (really let's call it Caloric Restriction with Optimal Nutrition ("CRON") as that is the generally accepted term) didn't work for you a) without any basis in objective data (aside from your highly subjective impression, which is consistent with your previously established pattern of destructive and obsessional self-critique), and b) despite the fact your trial was abortive and not implemented in a regimented manner (you claim to have been following the principles subconsciously and acknowledge that you slacked on training)?

[Matt C]

Matt, why don't you train wheels?

Yeah I haven't addressed that yet lol.

I actually do train them but I would say for every 20 workouts I should do for legs, I probably do 17.  I just find it easy to skip a legs workout every now and then, most recently for a month which I'm not proud of.  But I don't think it's the frequency that kills me, it's the lack of intensity.  Training legs 85% as often as I should would be fine if I actually trained them with as much intensity as I do for my upper body muscle groups.

I was referring to suckmymuscle, but, if you want to be him that's ok.

yeah I guess I was getting defensive....just a reflex, people in my grade are always trying to start sh1t.  Try to remember what it's like to be in the 10th grade.

[Palpatine Q]

Is that such a virgin thought?

I wouldn't think for one second Matt C.  had a better build than Bast.

Bast owns him.

Dude, you are narrow, but strong.

And Bast has used juice in the past and what's to say he isn't using these days?

Hahahah dude you gotta be like 5'2 or something.... now lets look at the facts. Look up any natural bodybuilder who competes in just about any real natural federation that are all around the height of "5'9"  (you appear to be shorter). You will notice that the biggest they get to be is about 160 pounds at their leanest. Some might be in the mid 160s but most are in the low 160's to high 150's. You claim you were 180 in your before pictures and that you were at 14% bf (even though you appear more like (17-20%).... soooooo if you were 180 at 14% that would mean you would have to be 160 pounds on the dot if you were to cut down but you are more realistically like 20% so that means 151 pounds cut. You didn't lose any muscle your arrogant putz ahahahah. You are delusional. Ok when i cut down from 220 i saw no visual change until i got to be about 165 and then things started coming together. This is what cutting is about. You are going to get down on yourself and say, "i look like a damn skinny fat" but you have to keep pushing and pushing until you are at your breaking point. This is why bodybuilding isn't for everyone. Not everyone is strong enough mentaly to keep pushing and to discover new frontiers. It is only natural Matt. It is almost like a growing experience. I believe before any major change can occur in a physique you ahve to go through a meltdown and that is exactly what you had except instead of turning it into something positive you quit. This whole thread is one giant meltdown. You are weak minded, end of story.

You know, people might take you seriously if you weren't a gimmick in the past.

Why did you change what you were doing if it worked for you?

Bump for our local clown who realized he doesn't have as much muscle as he thought he did.

Because we all basically have the same bodies and are beholden to the same laws of physics.  So I answered your question, now give mine a shot:

Why do you insist that the principles (really let's call it Caloric Restriction with Optimal Nutrition ("CRON") as that is the generally accepted term) didn't work for you a) without any basis in objective data (aside from your highly subjective impression, which is consistent with your previously established pattern of destructive and obsessional self-critique), and b) despite the fact your trial was abortive and not implemented in a regimented manner (you claim to have been following the principles subconsciously and acknowledge that you slacked on training)?

Are you really 15? 

[Matt C]

I am 5'9 barefoot, I just have short legs relative to my height.  My wingspan is 5'10.  If you really want evidence of that I can take a picture of myself next to a height scale.  Ask any of the getbig guys who met me how tall I am in person.  With my great posture I look more like 5'10 in person.  I'm just proportioned in a stocky kind of way.  At 5'11, TA for example has arms that belong on someone who is 6'4.  His freak long arms make him look taller than he is.

Now without refuting specific points brought up, I have a general question for Team TA: why should anyone acknowledge TA when he lied about having a university degree in physics?  He isn't even able to say which institution he went to.  In an AIM conversation, he also said that he had nothing to do with his picture appearing on wikipedia, meanwhile in the wiki chat page for that article, it was said that TA asked for his picture to appear there.

So before I say anything, why should anyone on here trust a liar?  Can someone please answer this question before I address any further points on here.

Well, Bast also eats dbol. He was juiced for Mr.Getbig.

[Bast000]

No, I had only taken Andro 6 months prior to Mr. Getbig.  Nothing other than that supplement.

[pobrecito]

Bast, a pathetic 2nd rate juicer 

[Matt C]

Bast, what was your body weight in the Mr. Getbig contest?

[The Master]

No, I had only taken Andro 6 months prior to Mr. Getbig.  Nothing other than that supplement.

So, what will you say if evidence of you juicing appears?
