What do you think of the Palumbo diet?

[Sharma]

Palumbo is reasonably clever (maybe very clever by bodybuilding standards) but he is a dangerous person. Dangerous to himself and others.

 Nasser has told many times of discovering this acromegalion injecting itself with nubain in the bathroom. He is a serious drug dependent monster with questionable sexuality.

Also,as has been mentioned by others. Why would someone want advice from the man who built one of the worst physiques ever seen on a stage?

[Beener]

It amazes me how Palumbo (I won't call him Dave as I'm not his buddy) has managed to manoeuvre his elephantine hips into the position of 'bodybuilding guru'.

 This is a guy whose picture is frequently posted on websites as an example of one of the worst ever physiques. He has a medical condition named after him - joke or not - and he sold fake GH to his supposed friends.

He is also extremely effeminate and uses too much eyeliner.

Physique is defined by genetics. Muscle mass and lean..uh..ness are done through juice, workouts, and diet. As ugly as palumbo looks.... he always comes in totally shredded and jacked.

I believe Lonnie Teper debunked that "story" a while back.

I wanna hear this. Where and when did he do this? I was always suspicious too.

Anyone know, did Palumbo go to med school for a couple of years or whatever he claims?

Nubain doesn't make Dave a monster.  He had an issue with a substance as we all have an issue with somethings.  The man knew his bodybuilding.

absolutely agree...A person who wants to gain and then lose should not work around under 7% at all times...On top of that, the man is in a the fucking medical book for having the first case of what is now called "palumboism"...

All anyone has to do is take a good look at DP's right hand man in Billy and say to themselves "NO THANKS"

i edited that immidetly after posting it.. 

im not saying i would use palumbos diet to prep

what i am saying is that guaranteeing someone they are goign to lose muscle on keto is arrogant and closed minded. 

and i alrady addressed the precursors to palumbo's version...whcih is more detailed than just pasquale and atkins.. 

to answer this, i respond exceptionally well to a keto diet, i stay full, veiny and get lean very quick. The problem is i can never fill back out properly in time no matter what i do. I believe they got there place for people like myself and others but most bb'ers are gifted anyway and dont need to go as extreme as 16 weeks keto. For the record, some of my guys are ex palumbo guys. Dave gets it done and sometimes he doesnt just like me and other prep guys. What it comes down to, and im not ashmed to say or have delusions of im the master, is some of our guys will get ready on anything we do, its all about picking what will net the extra 10%. Sorry if i came off offensive, wasnt my attention. I just follow alot of seans advice and his posts and hes really bright as is dave. I have read it all or tried it all one time or another and came up with my own methods but like you said at end of the day its all related in the end, its just how you get around the bumps and bring the fuller harder guy on the least amount shit, for me anyway. I dont like the drugs, all of my guys usually when coming on board end up dropping 50% the shit they are use to. Hard for the ego but they see the results in the end and save there health and money.

Remember how scarce Palumbo got when his boy Big Anthony keeled over?

I do, anthony was a very close friend and mentor when i was younger. I miss him.

i found the three days leading into ketosis were the most difficult, after that the cravings and lethargy associated with a typical low carb or even carb cycle were non- existent until about the 3-4 week out mark where your body's demands for energy cannot be fed from fat stores as they have become depleted. strength was good and energy levels very good until the 3 week out mark as well.

i also found that by staying in ketosis instead of taking the advocated carb-up on weekends accelerated fat loss.

the only drawback is that i could not fill out on the 60 grams of carbs over 6 meals that he says should fill you out. being a larger competitor, i am more used to around 500-700 grams of carbs over the 3 days to fill me out. it took a good 2-3 days of grazing after the show to fill out to the point where i was satisifed.

I'm doing the same just staying in ketosis with no cheat meal , I feel much better than I normally do. I felt crappy the first few days but I've been on it for 4 weeks and have not lost strength  I'm also not lethargic like I usually get on low carbs.

Ha ha

TA always cracks me up.

i have tried it.

i used it last year during a prep, and followed it to the letter.

it is an no- brainer type diet. like crusie control. you eat the same foods, every meal, every day at the same times, unlike say a carb rotation where you have to balance carbs/ protein on given days and make caloric adjustments depending on how much of each nutrient you are taking in on that day. probably the most user- freindly diet you will ever use, really.

that being said, i would recommend if you try this diet to go into ketoisis, glycogen deplete yourself for several days and see how long it will take you to fill out once that depleted instead of waiting till the week of the show so you know better where you stand.

if you have any other questions, post them up.

Got any pics from the show?

I think that the Palumbo diet is shit and it was his way of "cashing in" on doing something different. I know 3 guys that worked with him and they all had the same exact diet and cycle even though they were all in different weight classes. It was an easy way for him to collect $350 from many, many people. In theory it should work great but it just doesn't. All of his guys are conditioned but flat as fuck. The ONLY guy he has "prepped" that has done well is Evan Centopani. He was working with Tony Freeman but I know for a fact that Tony wasn't following what Dave was saying because my best friend trained with Tony everyday.

Plus, look at all the top pros. . . none of them use the "Palumbo diet." They all use carb cycling with insulin on "high" days. That's just how it's done these days.

 
not only we use  carbs but we use high carbs at 400-700grams daily,,when wil you understand that once a criminal  and cheater  + always criminal and cheater,,dont you see the fella only come to getbig to write something that going on on the md criminal headquarters? he is up for use and abuse of the system ,,this is how he make his money little diff than milos but at the end its all the same thing with milos being the less of a liar

always cycle yoru carbs while preping period
distelled water is garbage friends...i dont think arnold knew what he was drinking or larry  for that matter,,regular watwer is just fine,,the duretic aldactone or inject lasix or diazide or combo ratio in a pill is what we use...thats why jason had the best physiqe he could achieve in 2001 ...not the fuckin water he drank
when will you learn that bodybuilder doesnt need much cardio?? what are your runners? thats why you sit on stage at flat 170lb,,you buy all those hormones and then waste them while cardioing yourself into boniness
also,,inorder to get in superir condition while doing any kind of diet ANY KIND OF DIET ,,you need drugs period,,you dont use drugs? youll end up 150 for the average guys,,180 for the fatzos that start at 250 28%,,antenas dont count,,6 feet and under thats what the above refering to
