Joe Gold was all meat no water. 

LOL

65 years old here, he's 70 now.

Looks huge for 65.

[Coach is Back!]

Current pros say they suffer to get in shape lol.

Sounds about right. He was training at Bill Pearls gym right before he went up against Danny Padilla at the Universe. Preps back then were usually 4-6 weeks and it looked about like that. You suffered.

i just cant imagine performing well aerobically without carbs

Eating only protein with basically zero carbs and fat makes your body turn almost anything you eat into glucose anyway.

That's why this is the dumbest diet you can follow, making your body transform a filet mignon into a dextrose shake

I assume the liver tabs are dessicated?

As is not in the type of tablets to protect his liver

Ketones.

Not strictly true as it's nearly impossible to do, but you're not far off. The Inuit  who consume a high fat and very low carb diets are genetically adapted to avoid staying in ketosis.

Keto cultists just confuse the benefits of an elimination diet for a keto diet.

[affeman]

Ketones.

U need a high fat diet to get into ketosis. Low carb AND low fat is BS, formula to transform protein into glucose and burn off muscle.

Yes, Vince Gironda (his coach) was a big believer in desiccated liver tablets.

Seemed to work quite well for Serge Nubret. The guy went his whole career ripped and muscular, most importantly never injured.

No wonder they're dead

Lol...he died mysteriously, he was poisoned

                     I will probably upset some people by saying this and that is ok. BUT remember people respond differently to everything. Food, drugs, stress, love, death etc.  However there is a norm with almost all humans. Not a complete but a "most humans" scenario. ( medicine comes to mind and what we need to be healthy etc)  Anyways Humans do not need carbs. We make enough for our brain to use from protein.  Humans are hunters and gatherers. We are supposed to eat meats and fats and if we are hungry we can eat apples or whatever but our main diet was supposed to be meat WITH the fat. The protein repaired and the fat provided a protein sparring affect and helped with hormone secretion etc.
                    Ever wonder why an egg is the perfect food?  It doesn't have carbs !  Anyways back in the day meat and water was the diet to get cut. Did they look unhealthy? NO! Did they lose muscle when dieting for shows? NO ( very little) They looked great and no bloat! You can perform great without carbs for sports too but you have to get your body used to it. The human body actually likes to be in ketosis. It is happy. Blood sugar isn't up and down you have energy all the time and your not as hungry and more. Todays guys use so much gh which raises blood sugar they have to take lots of insulin and then they eat more etc. Viscious circle
                 Back in the day the guys would build up ( bulk up) . Get their size doing basic hard heavy workouts and eat normal. Then about 3 months before a show they would start dropping carbs and training lighter and  more often. Very few did "cardio" ( which isn't fat loss it is called cardio because it helps the heart and lungs but people think it means fat loss) Then depending on how they looked about 6 weeks or so before the show they would tighten the diet. Drop all carbs completely. Then  a week before the show stop training and then the day before the show or so they would carb load. It was a trial and error thing but once you got it down you had it.
                  Nowdays they have no clue what they doing and they change things so much they can't ever figure out what works. No clue about diet training drugs etc. They just do everything and they all look the exact same. Big bloated unhealthy sacks of shit with 50 inch waists.

Your body converts fat stores into ketones.

To get into ketosis quickly all you have to do is fast for a few days.  No fat to eat is needed.

Ah stop. You can eat carbs and get ripped, you can eat carbs and be healthy. Cardio helps loose fat. It's not all about carbs and how evil they are. Your an anti carb nazi.

You cannot over the law of thermodynamics

It's all bout cals in Vs cals out

End of story

I can be ripped and dry on high carb and running test only no ai no fat burner no dht

In fact I am doing this right fucking now

I'm not anti carb, I'm definitely anti plants for human consumption, haven't eaten a single plant in 2 years, look into anti nutrients, specifically phytates and oxalates, they bind to you and actually impede the absorption of vitamins and minerals, not to mention the soil is significantly depleted, and lastly the crops are sprayed with pesticides specifically glyphosade.

Thats kind of what I was thinking. Without a fuel source of fats/carbs, and at that level of bodyfat, your body will start utilizing muscle for fuel, no?

Effort/reward ratio makes cardio for weight loss pretty pointless
An out in a staionary bike is around 250 cals , its a fuckin KitKat

You may as well watch a movie and not eat a Kit Kat

For health purposes (cardio vascular) its fine, fat loss pointless

[Van_Bilderass]

As far as I know, let me know if wrong, most studies show you cardio endurance goes down with zero carbs. I know there are a bunch of athletes who say they perform best with a carnivore diet.

As for the look on zero carbs, I kind of think it makes you stringy and hollowed out in the face and probably older looking too. Having watched bodybuilding I think the hardest athletes are the "high" carb ones. There was the European pro, forgot his name just now, who says he eats 1000 grams of carbs all the way to the show, and I think he carb loads with insulin with at least double the carbs. It's insane. No bloat too and very ripped but part of that is genetics.

Imagine if Makkawy would so that diet with while increasing protein by 30% and then included 150 carbs with insulin before every workout. Say 10iu insulin and 4iu growth. I would predict he would have leaned out further while putting on mass.

All I know is endurance wise I've never performed better,  I swim 2 days a week, hike 1 day and lift the other 4. I'm currently training for a triathlon, I've never slept better in my adult life, I'm stronger than ever, all this miraculously happened when I cut out all plants, and bullshit supplements and powders. I'm 40 been on trt since 36, my labs over the last 2 years have been impeccable. My recovery is amazing, no aches, pains, etc. All I eat is grass fed beef, Pasture raised eggs, raw milk (on training days) and a half ounce of liver a day.

[dj181]

carbs are pro sparing

you loss your muscle mass on a low carb diet

you can eat pure table sugar and be ripped

was eating 80-90% carbs on his fat loss diet

platz was eating 400 grams of carbs a day and was a ripped dry 2%

jesus!!! that guy @ 3:30 is fugly
