Once again we return to T-Nation and their COO Chris Shugart and his misaligned obsession for protein. This time he titles himself a rebel, as in fighting the obviously corrupt and evil establishment. Well, we’ll see about that. Bring it on then, Chris. “The average person is pretty below average these days. About 74% of US adults are overweight or obese. It’s perfectly normal to be over-fat and under-muscled.

Today we return to T-Nation and their COO Chris Shugart as he tackles the silly issue of touching BPA-drenched receipts. I’ve had a good laugh about this one for years, as with most ‘can’t see the forest because of the trees’ fallacies of overemphasizing the minutiae while neglecting the big picture.

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 14 minutes of reading

Today we return to T-Nation and their clueless and protein-obsessed writer Chris Shugart, a guy I’ve had to correct more times than I care to remember.
