And they were all loaded on steroids in the Cybergenics adds

Yeah I know, like france santerllini right? lol

But they did kinda pioneer IF combinded with carb/cal cycling. And their training protocol was pure madness, ie. forced reps, combined with drop sets, combined with negatives for all training/work sets

Yes I did the training - it was very intense but being an enthusiastic teen I jumped into it guns blazing.

I did something very similar to their training protocol, except I only did 1 working cycle per bodypart, and not the 6 to 10 cycles that they recomended per bodypart. And I gotta say that I got my best and fastest results doing that protocol, but it's just not a pratical way to train, not to mention the fact that it isn't such a pleasent way to train lol

A few times I nearly passed out cold after completeting a cycle, and my partner hurled a few different times after completeing his training cycle

I fast between meals..

I`ll pray for anyone who does this diet.

The mere thought of a hardcore bodybuilder that would willingly put himself into a state of negative nitrogen balance is just way beyond my way of thinking!! 

This borders on blasphemy.

I was skeptical as well but I was inadvertently doing this because of a hectic schedule and I noticed that I was getting leaner.

Usually when I lean out on conventional diets I flatten out WAY before I lean out. So I was perplexed. I looked bigger. Maybe I was actually bigger. Either way, I was leaning out and staying big, or possibly growing... I can't complain. But I investigated the phenomenon and came across Martin's site again. I wrote it off the first time, but this time around I read it with intrigue.

I know people make fun of Adam for being a twink, but hey, he eats what he wants and he's shredded as a cock. He is a big smaller because he's not on hormonas, but that's a testament to this working for people who aren't juiced. I'm juiced and it works for me too. This type of eating works better for my lifestyle as well, so if I change what I do to align myself with Martin's guidelines then I get even more results. That's perfectly fine to me!

One thing I do differently is that I deviate away from the fasting from time to time. Especially if you're on trenbologna, this can be a good thing. If you're juiced, your body is a lot more forgiving. I calculate some room for epic cheats in the middle of my fast and all that happens is that I get leaner. I'm not even on GHona. Trenbologna gravy train ran out and I'm cruising and pretty much on nothing at all. Tightening up the diet and still looking good though. I'm not a fan of "diets", but this works.

Well said Dustin!  Us natural guys do exist, no hormones just = smaller.  I am not on hormones myself.  I see nothing wrong with if anyone is or is not.  I do not use for my own current reasons (won't bother to list them here).  That may change one day, but for now no hormones does change things as to diet, training, etc.

I also do some fasting but for 5 days at a time and about 4 times a year.  It goes like this:  Day 1 raw foods, days 2-4 diluted juices only, day 5 raw foods again.  I find that it helps give your digestion system a break and other parts of you can heal up.  I do come back leaner, stronger, and feeling like I have more energy.  

Possibly this is something that only a non-hormonized person could benefit from...   that part I don't know for certain.  I am just guessing above normal hormones (not matter what kind) will let you heal faster.  So periodic breaks like this may not be as much of a benefit?  But I dunno...
