In your opinion, taking "rest" out of the equation....give a percentage to diet and training....
How important are these two factors in your bodybulding quest...
For me, Diet 70% at LEAST.
My gains always come when i pay attention to macronutrient ratios and meal timing.
I have gone months training with high intensity, and seen no change in my body, then i pay attention to diet...
the gains start coming.
It's my belief that food is the best way to alter my physique
So for me 70% diet 30% training
drugs and respond to drugs ,, 80-90%
food and training ,,10-20%
you cant hold muscular 200+ at 5'9 or so at low bodyfat% or even high singlre digit with out hormones
if you have fakes from china you will never see a pro card up to 2000,,now days you got putnams and company so you can get a pro card even when you do it for the girls,,all a matter of how much shit you take and if legit pharma grade you will be able to pass by with a lot less and ofcourse avoid health problems
diet only helps when preping for competition,,even then todays bodybuilders that achived anything dont follow it stritly due to enourmous use of gh
with gh and the bellys you see around ..there is no need for strict diet,,look around you at the gym you can tell the gh users very fast because their tummy is always going 3 inch forward than their pecs,,
the use of trenbolone and gh with testosterone basically made the need of diet none existant during most of the year
thats bodybuilding for you 2008
