Title: Lyle McDonald's Comments on Steroids.
Post by: Matt on July 09, 2022, 02:44:42 PM
He took the words right out of my mouth.

People need to stop downplaying gear. Some of you have been on for so long, it's like you have no clue how useless natural bodybuilding is. MCWAY claims to be 220-lb at 5'11" naturally at 47. Guaranteed he looks like complete shit [fat, and probably hairy and ugly too].

He won't post a picture either, which proves my point.

Anyway, bodybuilding is all drugs. I started this cycle for the compliments, but I didn't predict I wouldn't be able to handle not telling those people I'm using.

How do some of you go your entire lives cheating on your wives and lying through your teeth about everything? If you can read my posts, you can read my mind.

I can't fathom being some immobile juiced-up bodybuilder, and honestly answering some teenage boy who comes up to me at the gym and asks what protein powder I take. I'd sooner just say "steroids" and walk away.

We lie about it, even to ourselves, apparently.

Yup.

And it's not just steroids.

There are so many things people take these days.

Funny you take anadrol for a month after starving yourself for a decade gain 15lbs half of which is fluid to get back to your natural weight and now you think you have it all figured out. By all means keep going it's not linear you don't even have a 6 pack and are not over 200 but you know if you just keep saucing you will become a monster it doesn't work that way the first 15 are easy especially when you have been starv]ing yourself get to a legit 225 10% and then let us know how it just took a couple magic beans

If you don't eat its not going to happen. If you dont rest it is not going to happen. If you don't train it is not going to happen. You can do all these things take the entire medicine cabinet and it still might never happen. How many guys on this board have tried things how many are 250lb Pro bodybuilders if taking a magic pill was all it took everyone of them would be

Lyle mostly trained women in Texas. And for a while he was a mid/upper level speed skater - https://www.speedskatingnews.info/skater/lyle-mcdonald . He's also bi-polar, which caused him some trouble over the years - https://bodyrecomposition.com/bipolar/lyle-apologizes-to-the-internet .

He's sorta like MattC, in that he'll grab on to something, and not let it go even if it burns bridges.

His best stuff the last year or two was absolutely shitting on Mike Israetel's odd definition of muscular failure.

I'm not intended to be a heavy man. I've comfortably been 195 and fatter than I am now, but maybe the combination of my age and getting back to that weight too quickly with drugs made me feel it this time.

Maybe I'll resume the gear soon. Maybe I'll stop now.

Not read the thread, but Lyle is a geek.

His theory doesn't explain the jacked natty calisthenics guys all across the world.

Volume, frequency and intensity all play roles in natty gains, but frequency and volume trump progressive overload imo (because strength has factors besides muscle).

All the over analysing science BS is a hindrance. Back in the day you'd watch pumping iron, learn from practical experience in the gym and then get your first cycle of dbol from the gym dealer.

x2

These are the facts in my opinion:

(1) Volume is king if your goal is size/mass, and it's a lot easier to increase volume when working with light/moderate weights than with heavy weights.

(2) If you want to get appreciably stronger in a particular rep range then you need to train in that rep range, don't expect something like GVT or 20-rep squats to up your one-rep max all that much.

I'm very confident in #1 and moderately confident in #2

Most people want to be big but also want to throw around big weights; hard to make progress on either goal trying to do both of these things.

By "volume" I mean weight x reps x sets

Here is a volume example:

Suppose on squats your goal is big quads and you can do 225x10 for a max effort.  You could probably do 10x10x185 without much trouble and that's 18,500 lbs of volume.  Your five-rep max is probably in the 250-270 neighborhood, let's call it 250 to be sure for numerous sets.  You'd have to do almost 15 sets of 250x5 to match the volume of 10x10x185.  If you can actually do 15x5x250 then great but that's a pretty daunting workout for a 225x10 guy.
