Skinny Fat and the ABC of Body Composition for Women

Today we once again return to T-Nation and their ‘Chief Content Officer’ Chris Shugart and another breakdown of a study from 2020 on women and body composition.

More Studies on High Protein Diets and Fat Loss – What Really Happened

Yes, we return to the sh*tpile that is ‘bodybuilding.com’ and, unfortunately, the same poor author Jake Stewart, who last time, made a monumental fool of himself trying to teach us about weigh loss. This time he tries to tackle the “best foods” of gaining muscle mass, as if there actually were such foods outside the scoop of our natural

A Quick Look at the Fitness & Bodybuilding Pseudo/Bro-Science, Week 47

If you’re new to me and my website, I worked daily in the Fitness-, Bodybuilding-, Gym-, and Competitive Sports industry for almost 22-years with nutrition, supplementation, and training — and was involved in it for a total of more than 26 years. Most of that time, I too was trapped in the pseudo-science of “nutrition science” and was fooled by the synthetic toxic crap of the pharmaceutical and supplement industry.

April 10, 2021 update.

When you promise a new picture and it just doesn’t deliver – and Gut Health Yes, in my previous birthday post I promised a new picture, so I took a quick one yesterday morning before speeding off to the gym. It looked decent enough on the useless Xiaomi Pro Mi10, but when downloaded it was smoothed out with very little detail… or have I just become a fat bastard in a month? Yeah, that
