I couldn't help it
You should stop being so sensitive / defensive about it, lol.
I have read a lot of literature on dieting and lifting over the years - I am pretty much self-taught. I do post about dieting or lifting seriously once in a blue moon (I think I might have made about 20 - 30 serious posts in length out of my thousands of posts, the majority of which are just about trolling), but I'm not really interested in discussing those topics here - you'll see that I've not made a single post in the Nutrition or Training board, even though I'm here most of the day.
I've trained well over a couple of thousand people IRL over the years and have gotten nearly all of them excellent results. Nothing ground breaking, but enough to make a difference in the way they look, feel and can lift, which is all they were after. Maybe guys like you like to keep reading and discussing the stuff endlessly, but for me, they were / are always a means to an end. I don't avoid reading posts about them here, but don't go out of my way to read or discuss them either.
Plus nearly 99.99% of the people I meet IRL always start talking about lifting & dieting at some point, and then get to asking me for advice, so the last thing I want to do is discuss it here as well. Which is why you'll never see me posting studies here or getting all worked up over it.
i'm not getting worked up over anything.
i enjoy these debates with coach, when he actually debates and doesn't just come out with - 'you are stupid', then it becomes comedy.
i seriously can't win here though.
if someone says something and gives advice on here and i know for a fact it is wrong, I'll say so to help both the person saying it and the person they are giving advice to.
If i don't say anything at all I'm wrong too.
when i do say and inform people of the latest research, post studies or point out fallacy's they get all pissed off.
I've said things myself that have been wrong - people have pointed it out ruthlessly, and while i may not like it at the time, ultimately i gain new knowledge from the experience and am glad.
I'm only trying to do the same..
