dude your traps are striated. lol. that's ridiculous. but you can't walk 2 feet in Australia according to 'James' without bumping into a guy as lean as that. it's an epidemic he says.
here's the problem and here's where James shows his ignorance and lack of experience yet feels the need to diminish your accomplishments. there is a WORLD of difference between 7-8% which is what he prolly sees with frequency- someone can acheive that percentage just by exercising moderately, controlling their cals somewhat and doing a bit of cardio. it's not necessarily hard work but will take some time depending on what kind of shape you are in.
going from 7-8% down to the bf level galeniko is displaying here (4-5%) is NOT easy. there are not guys 'everywhere' this lean. this is another level of dedication and busting your ass to get this kind of conditioning. the word suffering comes to mind. it's only 3% or so difference. but it's the toughest 3% you'll ever lose.
so when I hear a guy like James spout off nonsense like that I just kinda gotta smile. cause not only is he not 5% he's not 7-8% either cause he would have tried in the past to get there and would have seen how hard it is. i can also tell he doesnt train that hard either for the same reasons. I doubt he's even 10% so we'll just disregard his opinions as non-valid when it comes to an educated discussion on rapid militant fat loss.
so that being said heres what is problematic for even most guys who train and diet- they fight and fight and fight to get to this kind of conditioning. and they manage to hold it for what, a day? gal has been within 2 weeks of this shape for the past 2 years! but I bet there's tons of guys who 'diet' on 1800-2400 cals in this board right now reading this. why haven't you looked like this for the past 2 years, instead of on just one day? why are you having such. hard time now achieving this type of conditioning? ask yourself those questions, sit back and re evaluate your dieting strategy. how many years have you been following your 2k cal diets? how many minutes do you spend doing cardio? what do you look like today? are you always seeming to be 'dieting'? how many times in your life have you been in the condition gal has displayed and for how many days (I'm not talking 6% here kids. I'm talking 4-5. I'm sure there's guys reading this who are 6. ever been this lean? for how long?) what is all this telling you? what you are doing IS NOT OPTIMAL.
if you want to continue banging your heads hoping that one day you'll magically wake up shredded after YEARS of doing the same things, following the same 2k cal diets go ahead. it's your business. but it's because your following this thread should tell you your diets are not optimal and in 2-3 years down the road your still going to look the same, still banging your heads. I don't even care anymore to be honest with what you do. what irks me is the resistance to this method. you fuckers haven't held this type of conditioning for more than one day in your lives and struggle to get there and prolly walk around all year long at 8-10% or better but yet have the audacity to put down the validity of this method all the while having never tried it, all based on the fact you got lean once for a show. lol .
but such is life I suppose. nobody wants to be wrong. there. a big payoff in 'being right' that's why it's do hard to give up what you know, cause fuck me, heaven forbid you admit there something out there better than what you are doing. lol
but no. it doesn't work. your way is so much better.
you can all return to your previously scheduled uneventful boring long diets. this message has been brought to you by the creators of the 'galeniko-no one method'.
Hahah you should take a break from bodybuilding and learn to read.
Go back and read my posts (maybe a few times) again, until it starts to sink in.
Here is a tip, respond to what was ACTUALLY posted, instead of what you wanted to be posted/implied just so you have an excuse to start an argument.
