I know....You stated he had a degree and I stated simply having a degree doesn't prove anything.
So i'll repeat myself...
1st it's just having a degree.
2nd it's having a specific degree.
and now it's having a specific degree and getting honors.
What next? Magna Kum Laude from Harvard?

Look thru my posts, nowhere did i talk about "degrees". I refered to advanced degrees and PHD's. You are the one who started talking about "degrees". Layne is persuing a PHD, he is the subject of this thread. While trying to take the conversation off the orginally topic you have confused youself.

Really? So getting a doctorate in Nutritional Science with a focus on amino acid metabolism is useless for Bodybuilding? If he was getting a PHD is history i'd agree with you.

A Ph.D is a degree,It's a type of doctorate degree.

OMG. You were referring to bachelor degrees. Your friends who know nothing about bio have bachlelor degrees. I don't believe if you have a bachelors that you are gauranteed to know your shit in that particular field. But, if you have or are persuing a PHD you defintley know your particular field. Our subject Layne is persuing a PHD and is a competive bodybuilder who has the trophys to prove he knows his stuff. You say he doesn't know his shit. I posed the question before, if you cant learn from books and you cant learn nutrition from hands on testing using your own body, then how do you learn it?

I actually went to bodybuilding.com board and read his latest posts and none of them were arrogant, they were all quite appreciative.

Sorry to put a downer on the thread though..

I am big on education and have a strong appreciation for the well informed. However, I hate to break it to Norton: no advanced degree in any field will enable him to take the physique he currently has, and transform it into something notablyimproved i.e. adding 20-30lbs of lean mass or balancing out those toothpicks he is passing off as legs.

Getting a PhD says nothing about how smart you are..It merely states that you were successful in research and maybe had some luck along the way..A PhD is a very focused degree.. Many of the PhD's I know, are very well informed about there area of study, but know maybe as much as a good undergraduate in biochem about other areas he's not researching..

Getting into a PhD program is not hard..Look at the entering statistics and, on average, they are lower than for those in medicine..(and in some cases, much lower)

Again, as someone who is going for a PhD (combined degree), I can tell you this, it's NOT about how smart you are, it merely tells someone that you were successful in research..

Now, I'm not discrediting Layne (if I did, I would be discrediting myself, lol), and I'm sure he is above average in intellingence, but just merely pointing out the facts...

Now realize, a degree in biochem w/ honors from a school no one has ever heard of is not all that difficult..

Layne looks better than 95% of getbig members (myself included) who have the T levels of a 12 year old girl.
They rip on him yet never post a picture of themselves. hmm... $:-\$

I always thought you were the homosexual who ran probodybuilding.com and never worked out....

We can critique Layne all we want without posting a picture. Just like we can critique Motion Pictures without making better one's ourself.

but baseless attacks without knowing anythign about him is utterly ignorant and hence stupid. You might want to put in context his genetics when ripping on him, how far he has come, etc. or compare him to other natural bodybuilders! You have no idea how hard he works or anything about how knowledgeable(or not) he is. It aint easy to be natural and look good ON STAGE.

And until you post a pic, your comments are meaningless. Put up or shutup.

Apparantly you don't know how to read...Allow me to repeat myself..

You don't have to be better at something to be a critique of it, If that were true Ebert & Roeper would be making movies you dumb shit.

Constructive criticism is a far cry from the shit you guys are talking about Layne. It's one thing to hide behind a computer screen while constructively assessing his physique. It's another thing entirely to say he looks like shit, etc, etc, while being a pussy about it.

Well he does look like shit... his legs are cut but are as big as Branch Warrens arms..... I do admit he is in Phenomonal shape...but cmon, this is getbig not BodyForLife.....

ManBearPig... · « **Reply #68 on:** March 06, 2006, 01:34:44 PM »

he's getting a masters from the university of illinois (one of the best universities in the country, and my alma mater, OH SHIT OH SHIT), so i'm sure he's a smart kid.

with that said, he knows shit about bodybuilding.

saying you're a succesfull natural bodybuilder is like doing tour de france on a tricycle. sure you may put the most effort in, but you're still gonna come in last and look ridiculous every time.

Sure, he won't be winning any major comps anytime soon, but let's face it: how many people here are actually ever going to go pro anyway? I'd say that's a pretty impressive physique for what many people here will ever hope to attain.

From the pictures I've seen he does tend to come in a bit flat for shows (that seems to be a commonality in natural comps, though) and his legs are definitely lacking (genetics, probably). But all in all, the guy has a damn good physique. What that says about his personality or his "bodybuilding know-how", however, I have no idea. I don't know him and have no idea how knowledgeable he is.
