if it was the same one I read and tried first 2 meals was like..

breakfast- 2 cups oatmeal(dry measure, then cooked) plus 2 bananas
post workout- 24 egg whites with 2 english muffins with diet butter(lol, wtf is diet butter)

[NelsonMuntz]

Dumbest bodybuilding trick I ever tried and did not gain any muscle from was this whole "LOL"ing, so funny I just spit my protein drink on my keyboard" thing that happens only on bodybuilding message forums

That expression never helped my gains

I always loved all the egg whites. Was a firm believer yolks would soften your conditioning, lol.

Bulking.

What a monumental waste of time.

bodybuilding is a stupid secret

[evandatp]

A glory hole is in no way 'the most anabolic environment'.

[heenok]

-tribulus
-Sarms are like steroids without side effects (my ass. where does my gyno and acne came from then ??)
-bench press is the best chest builder for EVERYONE
-thinking overhead presses work the 3 heads of the delts
-i used to drink a can of coke and ate like 5 slices of white bread to spike my insulin post workout (hello fat gains)
-dirty bulking
-fancy forms of creatine
-not drinking any coffee because of cortisol
-starting strengh 4chan gospel
-reading zyzz interview on simplyshredded and actually though he knew about training and nutrition and drugs were only the finishing touch to his look
-thinking GH15 was a genuine expert and taking 15ius gh and tren will have no side and can make you get away with eating junk all day
-buying herbal "anabolic" blends
-stacking test boosters in hope for massive gains (all i got was massive boners and cum loads)
-DMAA supplement ARE safe. according to USP Labs researches
-supplements contains whats on the label

Sounds like you were the last one in...therefore a "rotten egg"...

[Powerlift66]

How about some other classics over the years:

Bill Phillips - "HMB feels like Deca".
Rheo Blair / Larry Scott (and others) - "Use heavy whipping cream with my protein for amazing Rheo Blair like gains" (Had nothing to do with the Nilevar Blair was peddling).
Franco Santoriello got HUGE using Cybergenics (not steroids).
"This works better than steroids" (Any supplement manuf can go here).

I like Drapers line: "The secret is, there are no secrets"...

[CalvinH]

Super slow reps.

I do keto and love it. My body-type allows me to bulk and cut on it all the same lol. Do you mean keto strictly for fat loss? Or keto as a diet in general?

Eggs are always a crapshoot with me (pun intended). Some days I can stomach eating 6-8 at a time. Other days it destroys me and I feel like I get food poisoning.

That's funny Wes, for me it works (probably we have very different digestion).  I usually drink 2-3 raw eggs every 6 hours during the day, with 2 digestive enzyme tabs...
I keep 18-packs of eggs in my work fridge.
I survive on KETO all week, except on either Saturdays or Sundays I'll have a big cheat meal.

To be considered KETO you can't have any cheat meals.  It takes a while of no carbs to hit ketosis.  By eating carbs on weekends you'll never achieve it.  You are mistaking keto with carb cycling.

Watch out on those digestive enzymes.  Not only do they break food down, they do the same to your stomach lining.
