Mike Isratel may possibly be the absolute biggest piece of shit in the entire industry. I wish the absolute worst for him.
He claims the reason for his company Renaissance Periodization (RP) is to show the world his training/diet methods work! Except, they don't. And especially not for Mike.
Look at him...just look at him. He looks like shit. He's in his early 40s, but looks to be about 60. He's disgusting looking. Hairy and fat.
He was recently on the JustKidding podcast with a bunch of Chinese delivery drivers. His grotesque stomach was sticking out and resting on the sofa cushion of the sofa that he was slumped back on. He was on this worthless podcast doing more damage control for his PHD debacle. And his company RP sponsored this podcast that he was a guest on during which he attempted to defend himself.
Mike is a failed bodybuilder who has placed horribly in all his shows. And he ALWAYS will place horribly. He looked like utter dogshit at his recent show (and all previous shows) and blamed his poor placing on a bad tan and excess water in his love handles. He then got plastic surgery to remove these love handles. But if you ask him, his love handles were not caused by him being a fat fuck and not dieting correctly. Nope!! According to him, the excess water stored in his love handles were from when he "chose" to get fat as part of a dreamer bulk years ago! He now even has future plans for more surgeries! He wants to have tummy tucks, ribs broken, and a plastic waist device inserted in his gut.
And apparently, according to him, he's the only one who knows his body; and he's the only one who could coach himself. He feels no one is smart enough to coach him. His contest diet consisted of Gatorade and cereal.
He also appears to be a sexual deviant and a latent homosexual. In a past video with Johnny Shrieve, he discussed on camera being human toilet paper for other men. Then, in other videos, he has discussed giving blow jobs and rubbing other men's cocks. He's spoke about harming animals and violently assaulting other people in the fitness industry.
His PHD scandal is the most recent train wreck that he caused. His PHD paper was reviewed by Solomon Nelson and there were 100s and 100s of errors. He even misspelled the word science. Then he tried covering up all the mistakes and attempted to commit academic fraud. But many feel the university caught and him and stopped him. And then his social media company tried hiding and covering up all the errors and they got caught as well. And his PHD was junk. It was trash. His PHD paper basically concluded that fit people are fitter and strong people are stronger. His paper should never have passed. And he's been using his PHD for years as a marketing tool; and to portray himself as an exercise scientist and an intelligent researcher. He's built his business and reputation off his PHD. Now the truth was revealed. He's a dimwitted fraud.
He's been going on a damage control tour and digging himself deeper and deeper.
He's a piece of fucking shit. And always will be.
