Bodybuilding general discussion thread

[Sector]

Figured I'd start a thread we could use for general bodybuilding purposes rather than starting a new thread each time we want to talk about something. The thread can relate to Informative videos, discussions on training, diet, peds, motivation or pretty much anything else


I'm not really much of a fan of following "influencers" but I've really been enjoying the Lyle Mcdonald videos and discussions lately. He seems to stick to just science, experience and facts, rather than clickbait or making over the top outrageous claims for views

I've never heard of him, will check out the videos. Thanks.

I've tried to sift through and find stuff that is as science-backed as I could find. I've lately been watching a lot of Mike Israetel on RP (yes, I know he can be cringy and a bit over the top, but I find the info is reasonable) and just started watching EliteTFS table talk videos with various guests.

Lyle is an OG, and a brilliant guy. Definitely check him out.

Elitefts has some great discussions as well. Dave Tate puts out a lot of great information

I find Mike Israetel hard to watch. All the cringey jokes and sexual references and over the top attempts at humor are just hard to stomach for me personally. Just not my thing

Lyle is good when he isn't off on some personal vendetta. Even if he's right in large part, the videos grow to absurd lengths and are more personal attacks than actual science. Quality of arguments in those videos vs. the regular ones is just night and day different.

Israetel can be entertaining at times and that's about all he's useful for.

Watched one of the Lyle McDonald videos (the fat loss interview linked above). Pretty good, will definitely add him to my rotation of podcasts/videos to watch during cardio sessions

Glad to hear man. I enjoy his content too honestly he’s a pretty smart dude. I do the same with cardio and podcasts or interviews. Just helps pass the time a little easier

Pittsburgh pro tommorow! Stacked lineup, just slightly bummed Vito got injured and pulled out of the show. Still will be a great show regardless. Kind of bummed I’m not going, but have a few others planned this year I’ll be attending

I'll be at the NPC Contra Costa Championships in San Jose tomorrow, should be fun!

@workout1234 This podcast is pretty good on HGH

I've been watching a lot of the Iron Culture podcast lately with Eric Helms and Eric Trexler on it. It gets pretty deep into the stats & analysis sometimes (which I kind of enjoy as a nerd) but I find a lot of the content pretty good. It's pretty long winded though with a lot of talking before they get to the point.
