i get a kick out of how some in this thread are saying it's an unfair debate with connelly, how it's on his home turf and adonis won't be prepared etc.
if adonis is right, then he's right. how much more simple does it have to be?
the only reason he doesn't take this challenge is because he knows he can't prove his stance, and connelly will make him look like a fool without his google-fu to fall back on.
Let's see:
TA and every single study done in support of this concept known to man, every licensed nutritionist, every college educated person, several anecdotal reports from people here and elsewhere, and virtually all conclusive scientific evidence vs a man who claims to have isolated the growth factors in milk. Come on.
Look in the 50's and before, look at those guys. They knew nothing about training, nothing really about a proper 'bodybuilding diet', yet still had a look most guys would kill for. Then steroids hit, increased protein synthesis was realized, and everything changed.
Guys now are doing the same diet concepts invented by guys that were running the test of 5 men. Hell, If I was running a gram a week, I would be eating that way too.
However, even for them (and everyone else), there comes a point when you have done all of the smoke and mirror BS possible and you start reducing calories, yet your macro nutrients remain high (too high for protein generally).
If Connelly wasn't scared, why not do the case study with people here? What does he have to lose if this works so magnificently well?
If he brings out random broscience bullshit and it sounds somewhat plausible, yet Adonis is not prepared for that, what could he do instead of tell him it was bullshit? Then TA would be owned or whatever, and Connelly would sell some books.
Do I have to make it any more clear?
