same as cocaine but upity whiteboys dont like to admit that but its all dumb and deadly only time ive ever done it, and i maxed my self out on it cause i saw how lean i was getting and figured hey its not steroids its not gonna fuck me up in the long run its a plant after all right?, really weird how ripped i got in a short amount of time, i wasnt even afriad of dieing till the nozebleeds and couldnt calm down part when i though i was gonna OD

Yeah same as cocaine, just different administration. People like to justify things by saying "Well Im not as bad as the guy that smokes crack", the crackhead says "Well at least Im not injecting it", bullshit, you're putting the same chemical in your bloodstream.

And yes, that shit will eat you up, time flies by, and it gave me horrible panic attacks. Never again.

I know (not well) a chick who absolutely has a thing for the rock... Everytime I hear her talking about it, it makes me uncomfortable.

Sure, it's the same as cocaine at it's core, but whatever they use as filler is so random, it could be anything.

That's a huge range though my brother... HUGE.

That's like saying my car gets between 15 and 45 miles to the gallon... not much to go on.

Agree about the range. He never counted calories, nor had a eating plan per se, which makes all of this speculation silly anyways. I am sure he falls within that range normally with some days really high, others lower.

People tend to have an all or nothing view on things and think that he was walking around with a food diary, ticking off items until he got to 12000 calories which is just not the case. I am sure he has hit 12000 calories at times and he could handle it easily, but the range would be a more accurate assessment of his eating patterns.

It's bad news bears all over the place.
Chicks that do rock, usually have no bottom.

When my mom was training, her main source of food and calories were lentils.

How do you prepare these? I tried once and it was foul... nevermind it took forever!

Adonis, the only voice of reason in this thread. Phelps is a superior athlete and the greatest Olympian ever

Who is denying that Phelps is anything other than amazing?

bullshit i work 8 days a week i dont even eat half that a day, hes swimming around in a nicely temperatured pool all day long

Again, I would LOVE to see you do a couple 100m butterfly runs. Do some 25m sprints with freestyle. You would obviously float like a buoy with all your fat, but you would be slower than molasses in winter. Do ONE 100m as fast as you can and lets see how out of breath you are.

Nice temperatured pool

I swam until 8th grade.. It was the hardest thing I ever did.. of course I was fatty and had asthma then lol. Now I just live the bodybuilding dream of stuffing my face full of food, fall asleep all day, walk on a treadmill and whine the whole time, then pretend im hardcore because i did an endurance set of 20 reps of something.

This explains soooooooooo much about why you are the way you are.

He's got some solid nutritional advice though if you need some diet prep for an upcoming show, Krank. I rather enjoyed the off the wall posting when he backed it up with a solid build. Eating meat is bad but risking a coronary from being morbidly obese is ok?

Just wondering why people actually believe this?

Why would he have a workload substantially higher than any other top-level athlete? And don't tell me you think top-level athletes really "spend 5 hours a day" doing hardcore training? Genetic tip of the iceberg or not, we're all still humans. Never has there been anyone born, and barring bizarre genetic experiments, never will there be anyone born, who would actually get benefits from balls to the wall, calorie-destroying 5hr a day workouts...

Phelps is basically a sprinter... in water. Does anyone believe usain bolt packs down 10000 calories, or even anything close to that? The dude claims he eats chicken nuggets all day before the race, LOL. At least he's honest.

Phelps probably is in the pool five hours a day or more... doing a sprint every now and then. it's not like he's marathoning around the pool. Plus the dude is like 6% bf. I'm sorry but the 10k figure each day is completely made up. Yes, I'm aware in interviews he admits as much, but he still says "well i shoot for it every day, but rarely get there" (at least in the interview i read).

In my opinion, he doesn't really know what he eats, he just eats a lot, probably comes out to 5-7k...

exactly!!! just like ppl/joe public think we train 12 hrs a day. they don't train as much or long and hard as you think.
