[@adameckardt4271]

Hey @FoudAbiad and team. I am a Harvard PhD candidate biochemist and on the discussion of a calorie is a calorie… of course it is. By definition calorie is the thermal energy required to raise 1gram of liquid water 1 degree Celsius. So no matter what you do a calorie is a calorie. However,you have an argument for Whole Foods being arguably more optimal, but you are just probing the wrong questions. You should focus more on micronutrient differences and problems with contamination with microplastics. And differences in food volume and hunger signaling with in intestinal cells. Hope this helps.

[@benlarsen1410]

Didn’t Hunter Labrada quite literally live off of just protein shakes for a very extended period of time? Is he not also a top 10 Olympian? It’s very blatantly clear that Fouad can't be wrong. I love bro chat, but Fouad changes the original argument and then aggressively tries to find common ground. He is the KING of the straw man argument. Training theory is not apples-to-apples with nutrition, nor does being a pro give you qualifications to speak on every topic. Whole food has more micronutrients. Micronutrients do not build muscle. Protein & enough calories do.

[@City_Homesteader]

So do you want to watch a show where everyone just agrees with each other? He does this to form a discussion.

[@vvscairo]

Not just protein shakes. Hunter was blending his meals and ended up with gut issues. He just spoke about it on the most recent Cutler cast episode.

[@StanImal]

🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ he was drinking shakes not eating protein bars! Big difference here! And 2, he stopped doing it because that clearly didn’t work as well! Macro nutrients in a process bar are crap, go eat McDonald’s then if it’s just as good… micronutrients don’t directly build muscle but see how your body works if your missing micronutrients

[@Edge_Crusher1982]

You're actually making fouads point because Hunter made better progress after giving up the liquid diet. Hunter himself admits it, and he's never looked bigger or better

[@willthomas7666]

Hunter lit had digestive prob. From it, looked his worse ever. And lit switched and is making better progress.... that argument is hilarious

[@dakotabernhardt12]

​@@StanImal very well said my man

[@germoua7726]

Exactly, agreed with Fouad!

[@ZAMBAMONGAMER]

@@StanImal Well, i certainly don't agreed with your opinion about the debate. Firstly, Mike's approach to experimenting with his diet-ranging from strict whole foods to a more lenient regimen-embodies a scientific method in itself. He's testing a hypothesis and observing outcomes, which is fundamental to scientific inquiry. This method isn't about ignoring established nutrition principles but rather about personalizing and understanding what works uniquely for oneself. This approach, although unorthodox, does not necessarily undermine its validity. Regarding the criticisms of Mike's dietary strategies, the concept of measurement bias is crucial. Every form of measurement, especially in something as variable as human nutrition, carries inherent biases. These biases affect the outcome of any analysis. Thus, when Mike adjusts his diet based on his own standards and observations, he might indeed reach what is known as "local optimality." It's not the universal best but could be optimal under the given conditions, restrictions and measures. It is indeed crucial, as you mentioned, that such personal experiments be eventually validated by external benchmarks, like IFBB pro show judges, to ensure global objectivity (reaching "global optimality"). Recognizing this nuance is essential in understanding any personalized dietary strategy, as Fuad said. Lastly, the claim that Mike's references to research are unsubstantiated can be a valid critique but also an inchorence in the comment itself, mainly because someone could also take this comment at face value. In the age of information, verifying claims through independent research is crucial. Resources like PubMed or experts like Dr. Schoenfeld provide ample opportunities for anyone interested to cross-reference and understand the scientific backing (or lack thereof) behind any claim. This level of scrutiny should be a standard practice, not just in evaluating Mike's approach but in digesting all information online. But i guess if your reaction is in the lines of "Welp, that's a lot of words, too bad im not reading them", then it serves no purpose debating this topic any further.

[@leigh_carmichael]

Mike is so sure about his diet protocol yet he’s never been in shape on stage. Why does he not post his stage shots? Posted his whole prep then totally ghosted and acted like he never stepped on stage. It’s great being so smart but he’s yet to translate to getting in shape. More action less talk.

[@Pjwalther9k]

@@AshBashSneakers that isn't the point, the point is that he is bashing optimal training while eating whatever he wants on prep, for example protein bars, basically saying this shit is easy, while having a sub optimal amateur physique. He's jus being a dick for no reason.

[@funhouse9566]

I dislocated my shoulder multiple times from rugby and other things. Had a torn rotator cuff for ages and avoided training chest and shoulders properly due to all the videos saying they are bad for shoulders. It made my shoulder much worse. When I started lifting full ROM and getting heavy, my shoulder recovered much better and never had an issue again. I've never felt the shoulder does extra work at the bottom of a bench press, if anything its always felt like the load shifts even harder onto the chest.

[@djbravo8124]

Did have surgery done ? Or full rommed away

[@funhouse9566]

@@djbravo8124 because my shoulder always went back in, I was too scared to go hospitals as I hate them lol. I got a contrast MRI done after 8 years and they said my one cuff (supraspinatus) was hanging on by threads. Surgeon said the muscle quality might be bad, so pulling it down and attaching it may lead to it all fraying. He advised to just build the shoulder up as strong as possible so all the surrounding muscles compensate. It's worked perfect so far and my tiny ass shoulders are literally 3x bigger than a year ago due to not training them properly for ages

[@StanImal]

If you’re aggressively going for extra range of motion on a bench press it’s going to be the shoulder that’s going to initiate the lift. Like the bottom of a squat the leverage of the quad won’t get you up, it’s going to be your glutes, so if you want to keep the tension on the chest or the quad, you shouldn’t exaggerate the range of motion

Patrick Tuor would actually be the ideal person to discuss food choices with mike. He is very detailed to that topic from what i have heard

[@StanImal]

Yeah… “Tuor is known for pushing gear”… 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ i don’t know why but it seems like everything Mike says is grossly wrong… what’s his agenda? Another npc competitor who is going to blame not turning pro bc he didn’t want to push the gear where it “needed” to be?! 🤷🏼‍♂️ as a scientist, he should know that more gear is not better but hey “I’m an exercise scientist, but ignore science”, should exercise more and “science” less maybe 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@StanImalI was also surprised when he chatted shit about Patrick saying that he’s pushing gear, and then the protein bars argument😅😅 I mean, how can he even compare himself to Patrick, the guy is a genius. He turns guys with mediocre physiques into elite bodybuilders. I genuinely thought mike was sarcastic or high (which I think he was), but to be so adamant and say that protein bars are the same as food… I think it’s all the fame and popularity that went into his head. Besides a solid KZbin channel, the guy haven’t accomplished anything in the bodybuilding world.

So do everything u possible can during a lift to get better results but then go home and slam protein bars???

[@DaleMorrow-gu3ve]

I like Mike training philosophy but when it come to nutrition I think his approcah is lazy and is thinking really oversimplified. Even if a gram of protein from shit food is the same gram of protein as whole food, the body response will be totally different and there is tons of studies on how process food impact the body response in regard to managing blood sugar and insulin response that can be a huge factor in overall health and longevity also as energy metabolism, insulin sensitivity, hunger and satiety response, inflammation, and hormones that can all affect the way you feel and look. Also food is more than macronutriments, the micronutriments is as important as the macros, the type of carbs will also have a difference and a will be prefered for a situation vs another. Having the right amount of soluble vs insoluble fiber will be important in regard to gut health and satiety. And we know that gut health is everything, if your gut is fucked, everything else will be fucked (loosing fat, gaining muscle, your recovery, your appetite etc...) Gut health and chronic inflammation are probably the 2 things that impact the most your health and progress. I think what Fouad meant when he talked about empty calories is the lack of micronutriments in those foods. Anyway love the podcast and have a great day guys!

[@shaundfoley2823]

I 1000% agree with fouad. Ian and seth were kinda hanging on mikes nuts here. I’m a huge fan of Seth I’ve been buying AAR gear since his first drop and watch all his videos. In his video “you are what you eat” he specifically says clean food isn’t to be replaced with junk do to its vitamin and nutrient content. I do like mikes view on a lot of topics but optimal is optimal. Any pro bodybuilder knows that .001 percent better over long term will eventually add up to 1% better over time and that could be the difference between cracking the top 5 or possibly sliding into the #1 spot.. Regardless it was another great episode. 💪💪

[@buckast3907]

I agree with fouad on this. Mikes lack of detail when it comes to food is confusing. How does a protein bar good for a meal replacement? If you’re on the go absolutely but if I have time I’m eating a full meal, more fulfilling and no preservatives/crap in it. Plus I thought a lot of pec tears were caused by over stretching the pec past ROM? Idk anymore lol

[@robbiewalker8403]

TIL Stanimal fucking hates Dr Mike 😂

[@jf2915]

😂😂 just seen the comments too

[@StanImal]

lol I don’t hate him, I have no feelings toward Mike at all, but the lack of consistency in the thought process, his way of deflecting and the misapplication of science need to be called out. I’m all for full range of motion of the muscle and therefore using different exercises that target each part of the targeted muscle is what I do. I don’t agree with the over exaggeration of the range of motion of the movement, it doesn’t do anything more for muscle growth. The added stretch you might feel is the fascia not the muscle and aggressively hitting the connective tissue that way is only going to hurt you in the long run. Especially if you understand biomechanics which should be a prerequisite for an exercise scientist, then going deeper in a squat takes the quad away from contracting, bc it can’t extend the knee from that position, so you would have to get momentum from the glutes at The bottom which takes tension out of the quad. And that’s just one example

[@StanImal]

Also I don’t understand why people would listen to him, if you’re that much if genius and a master of theory you should be able to yield results for yourself or others,which I haven’t seen from Mike, so clearly there’s a disconnect between his knowledge and real world application. Just my 2 cents
