    Oh man… Awesome find! I use to love this one. I recognized it right off the bat. Probably haden’t seen it for 20 years now.

    About zero has changed, except most of the foods he was trying to eat are way healthier than the crap these days.

    They should air this on CNN at night in place of one of those ridiculously long pharmaceutical ads.

    Ah. I miss the old toons…

    Back when they used to guilt me into doing things on a health or morality basis, instead of wanting me to buy the associated video game.

    Hi Brad!

    I read almost every article u wrote, and your view is very impressiv.
    But I have 1 question (maybe oftopic sorry)
    You say the amount of protein is not so important, the quality of the food is not so important (ok avoid crap), 2-3 workout per week is enough to keep or build muscle.
    What is then the mistake what most of the average gymrat make?
    Ok we can see some real life example like u, but every competitiv bodybuilder use (or they lie) the old method (6-8 meals, lot of protein abouve 300gramm, lot of training, cardio everyday) and not only for the end of the preparation, but from the begining.

    This is just cute! How about a Dorien Grey type of mirror that gets fat instead of poor cute Goof?

    Hey Wood,

    The average gymrat makes the mistake of thinking they can get ‘steroid-like’ growth without taking steroids, plain and simple.

    I don’t think bodybuilders lie when they say they eat 8 meals a day, protein above 300 grams, lots of training and Cardio. I think this is 100% true.

    I’ll even admit that this might be the right way to do things when you are on 3 grams of test a week, combined with some GH and Insulin.

    And, I’ll also admit that their is a possibility that even the non-bodybuilders, guys who use a “small amount of drugs” like cover models and I suspect even before and after models, might even benefit from eating this way.

    I’m no expert when it come to drugs and the way they alter nutrient needs.

    But for normal, non-drug using adult human beings it is your training that determines how much muscle you can add, your protein intake and food quality has very little to do with it. It still plays a role mind you, just not the role that advertisers would make you think.

    You can NOT get drug like effects from powdered protein.
