Are you saying that TA has not made a single lie or false claim on Getbig?
Im saying if you were smart you could see through the bullshit and catch the gest of the message.

exactly, the important thing is that the guy looks phenomenal and practices what he preaches diet wise.

What methods? The guy can't even stick to a diet. If he did enter it he would drop out. He wouldn't want to lose any of his precious hard earned "muscle".

I'm assuming he has a method he believes is better than TA's method. Isn't that why he started this thread? Maybe I'm wrong.

I'd be interested in what that method he does choose and how it compares to TA's.

TA is competing again, right?

damn that chick is short Matt, cute though.

For sure!  She claims to be 5'0, but I'm thinking she's a little under.  Her height really matches her face and personality though.  She will be 21 soon but looks younger.  Super cute but I always think a girl who looks like that would be hard to please.

If he can't cut down eating what he wants he sure as hell can't cut down clean. He will see just as much mass drop off of him and he will tuck tail and run the other direction eating himself back onto the verge of breaking 20% bf.

 ;D ;D ;D

I think I could probably swing that...we get along really well.  She always stops by to chat with me when she sees me.  I definitely want to hang out with her more this summer.

I agree with what you're saying but maybe the motivation to prove TA wrong will be a huge incentive to see it through.

I'd like to see Matt and TA both in the Mr. Getbig.  One of them would walk away with some huge bragging rights.

I don't see this as being 20% body fat, I just have very weak abs.  If they were developed, no one would guess that I had 20% body fat:

Unless Matt is a thug or bad boy, he'd have trouble keeping that bitch..

The right thing to do would be to date for a few months while hitting it every night and then bail.

Don't agree with you there bro. It all comes down to his skills. If he's an approval seeking insecure geek, he's screwed. If he's the exact opposite, she'll be very into him for as long as he wants her to be (given that she's into him already)

I don't know...it's just this on demand lifestyle that has been ushered in thanks to Bill Gates.  It seems like everybody always wants MORE MORE MORE.  And even top quality things are considered not good enough very quickly.  People seem to always want new and exciting...and when they get it, it becomes old and boring.  You know what I mean?

I see where you're getting at. But dude, if you have this idea about hot chicks being hard to "please", you're screwed anyway.
And why the fuck are you thinking about "pleasing" her? Just be yourself, set standards, and don't ever let her get away with any shit. If it don't work out, it does not, millions of women out there. If you HAVE to have her, she's def. going to be in power (= you're dead.) If you think she's hard to please, I bet you're gonna leave her in power....

Just threat her like every other girl, and be willing to let her go if she does not suit you ... (which will keep her drawn to you)

Giving hot women special threatment because of their looks disgusts me >:( Do the opposite, threat her like she's fat, ugly, and funny ;D

In my opinion, it all comes down to who you are. If you're interesting and knows it, she'll think the same.

What bf do you think you have there?

I would say I'm 95% confident it falls between 12-16%.

DF - I do treat her like every other girl.  Same goes for every girl.  I don't give any of them special treatment, but at the same time I think that even Brad Pitt would have a hard time pleasing girls today.  I look at it as a cultural norm.  Monogamy is very outdated it seems.

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)?



funny how Matt dodged this one even after I answered his question.

I don't agree with you regarding the pleasing thing. Some people out there want's monogamy, if you want it as well, you just gotta seek until you find the girl good enough for you.

I don't know...it's just this feeling I get from girls in my generation.  There are always exceptions though.

That's my point, there are exeptions out there, and it's your job to find them.

Let's say 2,5% of girls are the types you're looking for, just go for dating 100 over X amount of time. As Fagboy/Goatboy once said: nothing worth having is easy.  ;D

The body will only keep the muscle it needs....you have to keep your body under pressure, otherwise it will shed the useless muscle

thank you for pointing this out DW, you are a constant inspiration!  After reading your post I did 3 sets of hand stand push ups.

((Quoted for argument against the body burning muscle......ha ha ha ha ha))

Shedding useless muscle.....hmmm such as what happens in a hypocaloric state during prolonged times of intense training??

Nawwwwwwwwwww......that couldnt be....

if that happened how would you ever have the ability to catch food...or the modern equivalent keep up your bench, or for me, my iron cross presses.
