I agree with wrestler.... -------------- \\"The eight laws of learning are explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, and repetition\\" You have to learn to follow, before you can lead.

Although for somone to gain that much lean weight in a month..makes me wonder if he had some "help" -------------- \\"The eight laws of learning are explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, and repetition\\" You have to learn to follow, before you can lead.

wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2007/05/05, 12:20 PM ============ Quoting from danny_tuff: agreed wrong forum, to me just another miracle type of training, but if there was truth behind it.....? ============= Of course there is truth behind it. Any type of training will work, to a degree, for a period of time. You give me a guy that just "shrank' to 148 lbs and has never lifted, and I could put muscle on him by having him drag bricks. You think there is truth to it, then try it. If nothing else, at least it teaches you to work harder. -------------- Mortal by birth. Strongman by the grace of god. Blood Guts Sweat Chalk
retrofish Posts: 118 Joined: 2005/06/20	2007/05/05, 12:41 PM Surprised by the hostility. I realize it's obviously a body building routine. but the people in this forum tend to be more scientifically minded which I thought might lead to more interesting discussion. I guess I was wrong.

retrofish Posts: 118 Joined: 2005/06/20	2007/05/05, 01:59 PM Yeah, I certainly don't believe that there is a 4 week workout plan that will magically transform most peoples bodies. I wouldn't necessarily be so quick to dismiss this guy's results however. He apparently had the results measured by a third party. Plus it doesn't appear that he's trying to sell anything. Would you simply chalk up results like this and the Colorado experiment to gifted genetics? None of these results should are really experimental, more like case studies. I know nothing about this type of training other than most people concerned tend not to buy into it.

danny_tuff Posts: 85 Joined: 2006/11/12	2007/05/05, 10:18 PM yes i no theres truth behind it but obviously just any program isnt going to get you that much muscle so fast. So your saying what he did isnt that abnormal and you could get results like that in same circumstance??? -------------- OBSESSION is a word the lazy use to describe the DEDICATED
