here is daddy waddys problem...
he is an egomaniac. his goal was to achieve a level of conditioning on par with the best of the best AND he wanted to do it as a natural. he had the right attitude and a good base to do so with... here is where he want wrong.
he tried to be an innovater to reinvent something that had already been invented, he tried to make his quest for conditioning like a spiritual quest for truth that only he would realize and he would reap the benefits of the this truth into some form of enlightment.
so he started doing outragous unconvential things like eating nothing, running marathons, lifting for hours and then binging and smoking pot and then not eating for days, and eating sea-salt and raw vegetables and kelp. blah blah blah.... a lot of horse shit basically. he thought he would achieve a superhuman level of conditioning AND because he did it so unconventially he would be hailed a truth bringer who crushed all the old standards of dieters past and thus be seen as a "guru" (literrally from the buddhist sense someone who helps others achieve enlightment).
the problem is..... IT BACKFIRED. and he looks like a midwest meth addict.
guess what daddy. the old standards of stand. yea as cliche as it is its still the old 6 meals a day, high protein, moderate carb, low low fat diet, don't overtrain, do your cardio, take your thermos, do it for a very very long time and make adjustments as neccessary.
daddy, the grail you seek has been found and brought out to into the open you just ignored it. just like adonis you tried to take the unconvential route to ultra-rippedness, thing is adonis got a lot closer ONLY becaus he followed more closely the principles above and didn't rely on some bullshit sea-salt to save his muscle. he still ate real calories.
