LOL@ all of the credentialed geniuses on here calling Meadows out...hahaha.
You do realise that claims deduced from scientific material needs to be backed up by evidence?
I get that you're not holding on to a university degree, but you do have to realise that in the real world, outside of your beloved beddybelding world, people can't just make up claims based on heuristics and call it facts. A coach/trainer/whatever in this industry holds little to no scientific credibility in the real world, especially when they cannot support their claim with evidence.
People are so gullible in the bodybuilding industry it boggles my mind. Some "guru" rambles, cites a journal and calls it a day. The gullible morons who then wants to pack on mass and pretend they understood the context then takes the ramblings as truths, instead of actually reading up on the subject and creating their own opinion.
If some pseudointellectual would have made similar claims in any other science they would have been laughed off and ridiculed, but in this industry heuristics and ramblings have apparently more credibility than scientific research.
Compare ramblings in training/meidicine/dieting vs ramblings in physics, in one you are apparently "entitled" to an opinion, in the other you are not. Medicine and biochemistry should be treated in the same manner as any other serious science in this industry.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" as Carl Sagan so eloquently put it.
P.S. I'm aware of the meltdown alert.
