how do I stop being a retard who falls for obvious grifters feels like the only way is to disconnect completely

You have to just not believe anybody who makes money from talking
Studies are the only okay sources of information
YouTube is for entertainment only when talking about phitness
I do learn a lot of non-fitness related stuff there tho

>>76706617
>You have to just not believe anybody who makes money from talking
yeah, which is pretty much everyone on the internet
I don't feel smart enough to parse the studies I try to read, and you can't just accept the conclusions of one study you need to read multiple and compare and I'm just too retarded to know if I'm doing that right or wasting my time

>>76706622
The tricky part with studies is reading the wording on the conclusion
There are a lot of studies on protein intake that find a person gets no benefit over 0.8g/lb of lean body mass (when you read them all, that's the actual answer) but the ones funded by people trying to sell protein supplements will say "we don't think it would hurt to eat 1.5g/lb of bodyweight" or some shit like that
You want firm wording or even within a study you'll get propagandized

>>76706622
>yeah, which is pretty much everyone on the internet
Exactly, retard. Why are you seeking out internet grifters to listen to anyway?

>>76706772
because I am retarded and I can't figure this stuff out by myself?

>>76706622
>I don't feel smart enough to parse the studies I try to read
Then don't have opinions of your own, the fuck do you want? Are you even reading the shit you're typing?
>How do i stop being a retard that follows others without thinking critically
>btw i'm too retarded to follow my own judgement and think critically

>>76706845
yes, I am retarded. Does that answer your question?

>>76706594
lol. let's get beyond all the grievances. it's getting old. everyone needs to stop being so easily offended. the dude has a PhD. he's smart. His stuff works. We are going to quibble about some mismatched tables? Move on.

>>76706594
>constant typos
>frequent nonsense pseudoscientific statements
>entire passages copypasted
Far, far worse than all these
>data is flatly nonsense, demonstrably gibberish, rendering the entire study utterly fraudulent
So yes

If you people have enough time to care this Intensely about another persons PHD dissertation from years ago, you quite simply need a job.

>>76706594
If you have to resort to shit like this does it not invalidate any advice you have yo give?

>>76706638
Personally I got great benefits on my recovery once I started consuming 220g of protein a day. I get the protein from chicken and not from shit powders.

The only supplements that work for most people and are generally safe are creatine and caffeine.

Never buy a "lifting app." They are all useless. Cardio apps that plan your weekly training are the only useful ones because maximizing wattage for biking/running requires knowledge whereas maximizing muscle gain requires 0 knowledge.

Basically, if someone is trying to sell you something it's generally a scam.

100%

natural hypertrophy was based until he started getting paid

Read a textbook about strength training from the 70's

accept you're not as intelligent as you think you are simoly because academia said so

>>76706594
I would expect better from a random undergrad from a different department.
To have spent more than a month on that pos should be enough humiliation for him to never show his ugly head anywhere ever again, unfortunately for us he's retarded so he doesn't realize how embarrassing it actually is.

>>76707416
>>76707422
he's a prime example of someone who thinks they're intelligent simply because academia said so

>>76706594
I wouldn't know, I didn't read it. I also didn't watch any videos on the topic, or read any posts here about it, except yours.
Why? Cause I don't give a shit and I have better things to do with my time

>>76707113
Fuck off mike

>>76706594
dude more muscular guys are stronger i did not know that

>>76706594
Even that Aussie feminist olympic breakdancer's dissertation was better than Mike Palestine's paper.

>>76706611
It really comes down to what someone looks like. If someone is ugly and bald, never trust them. If someone is lean, handsome and athletic always trust them

Hi Mike
