I don't follow fitness culture anymore but I woke up one day and everyone starting hating this guyDoes he deserve it?
>>76773550Success breeds jealousy
>>76773550>Does a jew deserve it?Always.
No way this guy's "popularity" is organic. No single way in hell he's that known. I swear just 4-3 years ago you still needed to be a jacked monstruous open bodybuilder or proportionate jeff seid/zyzz/athlean x abs panic lanklet to be known in shitness. He's neither just a fatass jew He apparently gained popularity 4-5 years ago and at the time i sas at the end of my lifting journey and started to consoom less shitness content yet i cant recall ever seeing him back then
>>76773558>sas at the end of my lifting journeyWas* at the end o my first* lifting journey
>>76773550People are jealous of his strength
>>76773550Yes
>>76773565And his speed
>>76773565Just watched this last night. Kind of shocking.
>>76773587What is it
>>76773550He staked his claim on his intelligence and his PhD. For a while he was just being a nerd on YouTube and hawking his weird high volume program. He was definitely on steroids throughout, and his gains primarily relied on that—not his program. But everything was fine until he decided to compete for his pro card, upped his steroids, and started talking smack. He said he was smarter than every single coach, had an IQ higher than 160, and was bigger than Mike Mentzer. When you talk smack like this, people start to hit back. Shit got real recently when some uber-nerd downloaded and reviewed his PhD dissertation, and it turned out to be pretty retarded and riddled with amateurish errors and typos. He defended himself by lying and saying the dissertation provided by the university online was actually a rough draft. Then he walked back this lie when he realized that this sounds even more retarded. All of the above, combined with the ridiculous surgery and utter failure at body building makes me conclude he deserves it.
>>76773596Mike getting humiliated by some aryan ubermensch the whole thing is like a long gay humiliation kink porn intro but they never have sex
>>76773606Kek
>>76773596https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=60vVC-L-KBYFitness benchmarks wherein Mike did shockingly bad. Worse than me in many respects and I’m a fatstrong blue collar who hardly ever actually works out
>>76773550All the 4chan queers saying degrees and college are worthless and a scam sure care about his term paper al of a sudden.Really makes you think.
>>76773621Jews are famously nonathletic and allergic to hard work so i don't know how this, or his behavior in general, is a surprise to anyone.
>>76773625>degrees and college are worthless>look at this guy that went to a worthless college that wrote a worthless paper and got a worthless degree
>>76773550>Does he deserve it?Yes and no.He's an annoying prick, definitely may be a narcissistic asshole but it's hard to tell what's entertainment persona and what's real.He definitely got his PhD from a budget university and he overplays the importance of that. While he is more well read than a lot of people in the space, he falls into a common pitfall that a lot of online personalities similar to him do where he makes conclusions or suggestions based on logical inferences that he assumes have some weight because he's 'smart'. But when you read between the lines the core stuff he advises is pretty reasonable and far from the worse exercise advice.A lot of the criticism about him that is sticking is very nitpicky stuff that isn't even consistent with their own opinions that they're projecting onto him rather than what he's saying. Example:>Critic: what really matters is training near to fail, around 1-3 RIR, but mike is all on the volume train lol>Mike: Says to train a couple of sets to 1-3 RIR basically all the time>Critic: Well he didn't train to failure in a video I saw of him, and he didn't coach somebody to true failure when he thought he did in one videoLike... okay? Sure. Maybe he went to 3RIR and the bar didn't really slow down - we all agree that that few RIR on higher rep sets is fine so what is the actual complaint here? That he could have gone to failure but was training at 3RIR which is also fine? Or that another guy was a drama queen and made the struggle at 7RIR look so hard that Mike thought it was 3RIR? It's not exactly a big fucking deal.It is true that mike has shitty genetics, and hate the act of bodybuilding. He likes to be big and strong, but hates doing the things that go into being a good bodybuilder.
>>76773621That's not the most surprising part. The worst part is how most of the comments defended him.>Wow you have genuine courage to post this and admit all of this. You are a great example of honesty.No matter how retarded or fake an influencer is, some people are just cult members. They will follow an influencer's words and be led straight into the bottom of the ocean in terms of content.
>>76773740he defends seed oils and says posture is genetic. those are just undefendably retarded.
Yes he does.He's Jewish but hid it because he was embarrassed or so he claimed, his PHD paper seems to be riddled with flaws.Clearly roids.He's likely only propped up on youtube for the same reason Shapiro is, he's part of the tribe and they control the site.
>>76773558He was low key until about a year agoI do actually feel like it was mostly organic cause you'd only see people recommending him on places like here and irl by people who consume a lot of fitness content. His explosion happened within the past year as tiktok and instagram science based lifters / content farms started repeating his content and opinions due to dunning-kruger. With the increased amount of people looking at his content more people actually looking into his background and realized he's 1. completely insane (literally cries while reading AI responses during sessions, thinking a bulk from 10 years ago gave him permanent love handles, etc ) and 2. his phd comes from a shitty no name school with a shoddy paper. All in all completely organic rise and fall, at least from my point of view.
>>76773558I watched a single video of him that was recommended by youtube. It was a clickbait with a lot of homosexual jokes. I pressed not to recommend this channel. Yet, youtube spammed my feed with his videos. Not interested in this video didn't help either. I had to block his channel not to see his ugly face.It was when youtube had a jewish ceo who handlicked his champions in every area. Sometimes they were okeish like huberman. Sometimes just awful like israetel.
>>76773660>>76774109>>76774111Yes Ivan we know russia is a failed society.
>>76773584Funny as it may be, it's an unfair comparison.Mike should've raced against a person of his own height, or a woman.
this is him saying simeon panda might be nattyhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/hckCQ0Fh8AQ?feature=sharethis dude is compromised by his business, there is no way he actually believes this
>>76773550he deserves worse t b h
>>76773558His content targets internet midwits, prime redditors. Not saying the research he presents is bad, but his OWN content is total shit. 3 reps in reserve is retarded
>>76773550it's all been downhill for him ever since his stage photos came out
>>76774109they also cheat on tests by buying test banks. theyre on top only through deceit
>>76774341Aight he is a manlet but why the fuck can you barely see his ab bands? Should he be stage ready there? You can probably see the bands of any human once they reach single digit body fat
>>76774346>why the fuck can you barely see his ab bands?hes fat
>>76774341That's the best he's ever looked too
>>76774341He just can't diet. He doesn't actually enjoy bodybuilding, he just wants the recognition of being the PHD man who validates his work by achieving a pro card.
>>76774349>>76774383If the retard wants a pro card that badly why didn't he diet properly?
>>76774390he's a hedonist he enjoys showing his big fat hairy ugly body and stomachhe enjoys being humiliated >>76773621 he's planned 5+ needless cosmetic surgeries after his insane love handle op heals he couldnt stop himself from intense roiding and getting HGH gut in the current era of steroids and steroid knowledge he half asses all his exercises and always has a million reps in reservehe is incapable of bodybuilding prep, plain and simple, because it requires legitimate work, effort, and self reflection
>>76774413>"Dr". Kike is basically into humiliation and sabotages himself constantly, and might be getting off RIGHT NOW to the fact 4chinners are shitting on his physiqueGrim
>>76773558>>76774341>He's neither just a fatass jewGuys I figured it out, he's got the Jason Genova appeal.
>>76773625Are you retarded?
>>76773555Fuck off mike
>>76773653>dollar sign tattooman, i thought the cog on the other side was bad..
>>76773558You're just now NOOTICING that his *tribe* consistently gets random nobodies floating to the top out of thin air? >Lex Friedman >Huberman >Mike Israetel All talentless hacks who materialized from thin air with 10s of millions of views despite having no slow, organic growth to their channels. Hmmmm I just can't piece the connection here. Just like the Sam Hyde/Brent Weinstein crowd from a decade ago who did the same thing. I just can't figure out what they all have in common, hmmm....
>>76774256800 meters in five and a half minutes is a brisk walk. He should have been racing a toddler
>>76774511>Sam hydeSam Harris*** KEKAlthough sam hyde does look kinda sus with his new Trotsky vibe
>>76773550In particular, sorta. The industry as whole absolutely deserves it. There's this sort or intentional attempt to confuse and obfuscate information to keep people dependant on channels rather than give them the tools and a level of understanding where they can really go on their own.Why Mike deserves it more than most but probably not as much as he got is because positioned himself as an authority figure with his doctorate. That's the risk when you put yourself at the top and front you're going to get hit with the biggest portion of the shitberg when it comes.
>>76773986People defended him because they knew he was either not at his best physically or holding back. He benched like 3pl8 for 12 in a video not long before that one was taken.
>>76774341Bigger than Mentzer but smaller than Genova.
>>76773558I don't know what you Anglos mean by "organic" LOL but got to know this bald dude from videos where Nippard was quoting him the whole fucking time till the point he just needed to start sucking him off, for God's sake.I think I watched a single video of him talking about a new enhancement drug and I had to cut if off when he admitted (unsolicited) drooling for big clits.Total click-baiting and vulgar. Not my style.
>>76773550He's a high quality lolcow>says he's an authority on bodybuilding>says he competes to prove his training methods work>says he's a genius>says he could take a year and become a world-class expert in any field>says he's a bjj black belt>says absurd high volume is the best way to trainAnd yet>doesn't know how to train near failure (or is too afraid to snap his shit up)>eats cereal and tacos for contest prep>goes on stage overweight and fluffy>places pathetically at his bodybuilding competitions then retires>never gains a pro card>copes that his bloated belly is genetic and not combination of gh gut + shit diet>gets surgery to drain his fat stores >is 5'5 on his tippy toes and is deeply insecure about it>discusses his roid rage and urge to attack people who call him a loser online>discusses his desire to fight and kill a dog>is jewish >received his phd based on incompetent and flagrantly garbage research, then tried to cover it up when this was discovered>virtually no footage of ever training bjj, virtually no competition or rolling footageHis entire persona of being this hyper-intelligent doctor of exercise science, master of bodybuilding and athlete extraordinaire, has been completely torn downHe deserves it
>>76774694>says he's smarter than mentzer because it's forty years later and he knows everything mike knew>still can't figure out a diet, work out routine, or how to get a tanit's like someone saying they're smarter than einstein because he came up with theories so long ago so Im way more intelligent than him. yet he has no competent papers, no contributions, no trophies, and nothing else besides a homer simpson gut and a youtube grift. mike is an arrogant moron.
>>76774688Organic simply means someone starting with half decent production and content and slowly working up their way and being active for a few years before finally getting a big wave of fame. This is only for youtube, it's harder to gauge on instagram tho because people like the Fitzgerald niglet do actually blow up overnight (in both muscularity and popularity tho the former not so organically)
>>76773550I've hated him since the late 2000s. It's amusing to see all these retarded powerlifters finally wake up to him. But they'll fall for the next muh science scammer. Be wary of any astroturfed youtuber, ie the ones that are aggressively pushed by the algorithm.
>>76773606Thank you. He transpires mistrust.
>>76773550I liked him originally because he was eloquent, decently funny and (seemingly) didn't take himself too seriously. I'm not anti-''capitalist'' so I didn't mind him grifting like everyone else on there.Then I watched his videos on topics other than lifting. Uninformed, stumbling, deflecting, summary judgments, routinely outclassed by the person on the other side of the mic and reacting by doubling down, sophism, overconfidence. And that's even though I agree with his general direction.In short, he's like when you watch your 5'2 uncle read Nietzsche, both enthralled with the social darwinism and struggling coming to terms with being on the wrong side of it. That shaped his entire life I feel, he's kinda like Elon.
>>76773558I never heard of him and then a couple years ago he was everywhere. He absolutely paid money to get pumped on youtube.
>>76774517I do't think Sam harris came "out of thin air"I don't even think he supported Israel or the Jews much in the beginning of his career, either
>>76773625His shitty paper proves why degrees and collages are worthless, retard
>>76773606I am ALWAYS weary about people who overtly and constantly use their PhD as a sign of expertise, especially when it is tangential to the topic and they are trying to market something.I read part of his thesis and it was shockingly bad. If I remember correctly, it was based on like one or two days of data collection? He basically got a small sample size to do some activities, made measurements and then wrote about it for what a few years? Not all theses are created equally and it is not always straightforward to equally assess quality/merit across fields, but his PhD was a joke. The fact that he waved it around as a credential is embarrassing and even though I can’t stand him I felt bad about him being outed because it would be humiliating and indefensible.
>>76774427KekI know there will be no end to the “natty or not” debate but if these people are giving out advice and trying to sell things based on the at least implicit idea that their physique is attainable by only following their advice/buying their shit, and not doing all the gear they do, it is disingenuous at the very least.First of all who the fuck looks at Mike and thinks “god I want to look like him”? Secondly he is a roidtranny and his advice to natty viewers is not credible. Throw in his tribe, his terrible double entendres and creep talk (“humor”) and BTFO PhD thesis not worth the paper it was printed on and you have just another social media charlatan.
>>76774256The average non-obese woman can run a 5k at a faster pace lol.
>>76773584lmao is that real? We had kids walk that pace for fitness tests in high school.
>>76774390because he's a mental fat fuckhe was like 270 lbs at 5'2" when youngerhis "healthy" grocery shopping includes sugary cereal and other craphe also has shit genetics in general, some people are simply not meant for prodfessional bodybuilding but he can't accept that and keeps pumping his body with more and more hormones, thinkink that steroids will somehow make up for bad genetics
>>76773558>>76773564>was at the end of my fitness journeymfw u was never gmi
>>76773653He's 32 in this picture? Damn maybe he has just always looked like shit
>>76775622I was in highschool and stopped lifting to take on sports since my situation didn't allow me to do both and now i exclusively loft
>>76775587It's extremely real. This video is painful to watch. It's hard to believe he even uploadedit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60vVC-L-KBY
>>76773550Disgusting
>>76774340>3 reps in reserve is retardedMore like 7. This mongoloid motherfucker is the living proof that you can just half-ass your workouts, never approach failure, never even work out all that hard, and still grow simply by blasting insane amounts of gear. That's it, that's all he's ever proven.
>>76773550Based
>>76775578>>76774512That's my point.It would be extra funny to see Mr. Dr. Mike Israetel, Ph.D. to be outran by a mom and her children, a 12 years old girl and a 9 years old boy, all taller than Mr. BJJ Black Belt .
grotesque
>>76776114This man is my penis' spirit animal.
Anons thanks to our constant shitposting of this fsggot people have seen through his bullshit, even Dorian called him a bag of shit lmao
>>76774511To lift fellow tribesmen out of void Israel has designated farms to bot views and engagement. It's genetically impossible for them to be ethical. It's just basic science.But enough about politics. I like gym.

https://youtu.be/qpRGnTTcLpo?t=435
>>76773565>weights 230>can't bench 230 more than twiceAnd he says he's stronger than Mike Mentzer. WTF.
>>76776114Ah yes. Doing erector cable flies to make sure his erectors are as big as possible.
>>76776114can i have a roid gut without a phd?
>>76773550He has solid fundamental advice and some ments here and there a little bit of a Joe Rogan fag desu but I like his cringe humor. I've been enjoying controlling the eccentric and his focus on the stretch has been doing good shit for me so idk idc what people say or if his shitty thesis is good or not good i.dknt give a fuck I just do mesocycles and get to the money
>>76776371The cope I’ve seen from his sycophants is that it’s technically true, if you take a specific understanding of the phrase “bigger and stronger “ that ignores the phrase’s commonly understood meaning.He used to be a super obese power fat who had decent enough lifts. Supposedly, they were stronger than Mentzer’s best ORM. I’ve yet to see proof of that, as nobody has shown evidence of Mentzer’s lifts, but that’s how they defend Kike. Because he at one point in time almost two decades ago was stronger than Mentzer, he’s actually right and not a lying delusional Jew.Likewise, they point to Israel going on stage 2lbs heavier than Mentzer. Ergo, he was bigger. Again, technically true, but completely ignores that Kike was bigger because he sucks as bodybuilding and fucked up his diet. Now, it completely fails to address the word “bigger” in that context is usually understood to mean “better looking and more muscular,” not just “more massive,” but as long as they can desperately cling to some cope that’s all RP fanboys care for.
>>76774390>>76774413Fat cells do not go away even with months long fasting.Mike is correct and you can keep seething.Surgery is the only way to get rid of excess fat cells which is crucial if you want to compete after bulking for too long.
>>76776722>if you want to competeyeah giant surgery scars help on stage, do they?
>>76773718>>76774494>>76775476So whats the deal? He was good in your and everyone else's eyes, then his paper gets released/leaked, I dunno Im not following this story, now all of a sudden he's not good?Are (YOU) retarded? >>76775476*college>calls me retard, but misspells a word in thee very sentence he called ME a retard. Idiot.Many such cases
>>76776734Better than fat handles that will never let you finish at the top.
>>76776722>source: mike (whose never even been close to proper competition bf% yeah sure mike whatever you say i'm not the one getting botched up but alright
>>76776371I was able to 1 rep my body weight (225) at one point and I am no where near as buff as he isthe fuck?
>>76773565How can you not bench press your body weight lol
>>76775341The beginning of his career was stumping for war in the middle east, the same as any other neocon jew like Bill Krystal. His mother was a Hollywood producer that made the Golden Girls, his father was a Hollywood actor. One of the fakest "intellectuals" of all time. I'm embarrassed that I fell for that crap.
>>76776945i remember earlier in his career he called Israel "modern-day apartheid".
>>76776722This cope rings hollow when Mike has never dieted down anywhere close to competition lean. Plenty of people have been morbidly obese and then become leaner than he was on stage. Sure, maybe he would need lipo or cryo at some point if he wanted to go for the Olympia. But as is, he has far more fundamental issues to address before he needs to consider such drastic measures. Like, again, dieting down far more than he did.His “love handles being full of water so he needs to get them cutoff else he’ll never get his pro card” is complete bullshit and utter cope. Just like his tanning claims.
>>76776976He says a lot of things.https://www.samharris.org/podcasts/making-sense-episodes/why-dont-i-criticize-israel
>>76776790Obviously he doesn't train bench press. comparing your bench to someone who doesn't train it is retarded. He could probably get a 315 bench in a couple of months if he actually trained it.
>>76773606>ridiculous surgerySomeone's jealous they can't afford lipo and have to cut calories instead
>>76775640He looked like a stud in college
>>76777190how do I become this hairy
>>76777194Mike looks like a gay rapist.
>>76774308He's actually really rational and doesn't make rash decisions or judgements.

>>76773550>PhD was critically flawed, alma mater either handed him his degree without actually reading his seminal work or it's a diploma mill>unremarkable bodybuilding career>unremarkable bjj career>pro-drug to the point of shilling for big pharma>undergoes cosmetic surgeries instead of getting therapy for what's obviously body dysmorphia>95% of his youtube channel is joking about being gay, self-jabs at being short/jewish, and doing pisstakes of other influencer workout routinesI actually don't mind the content he publishes, it was just propped up on a very unstable foundation of achievements that were overhyped. if someone doesn't care for his content, it's easy enough to hide/block it and watch something you actually enjoy.
>>76777198
>>76774694Got a video where all this stuff happens?
>>76776010No shit you don't have to work out until failure. You're getting like 90% of the growth by stopping 2-3 reps before failure.
>>76776917I'm 6'4 and 160 lbs and I can only bench press 100.
>>76777258>propped up on a very unstable foundation of achievements that were overhyped.typical kike
There's a lot of retards here jumping on bandwagons because few of you can actually make any arguments yourselves.1) Dissertations are overweighted. One shitty dissertation is a big deal, but it's not everything. Do you really think one paper invalidates an entire 10 years' worth of learning? If that were the case, none of you retards would have ever finished high school. Especially for a PhD candidate, I'm not really surprised it's shit. It tends to be their first solo paper and it's at the end of a long ass academic journey in which that candidate is very likely really fucking tired of doing all that shit. I personally would do whatever the fuck is the minimum to get me out of there ASAP at that point.2) All that said, I actually don't like the guy or watch his videos. He's just an alg chaser. Nothing more, nothing less. He quit all his shit just to focus on his app/program/channel.3) Even then, just don't watch the guy. All you retards constantly with a hate boner watching and disliking every fucking video and bringing him up in every forum is what keeps his career growing. And don't give me the "my feed is filled with him." That is 100% your fault. I haven't seen his face on my feed, aside from here, in the past fucking year, because I never interacted with his shit. YOU are at fault for filing up your feed with garbage.
>>76777662Ok Mr Mike
>>76773989Ironically seed oils is a litmus test for retardation, and not in the way you think it is. If you are anti seed oil you’re demonstrating you fall for bottom of the barrel evidence in dietetics and could quite literally be convinced of everything given your epistemic standards. Go watch Nutrition Made Simple on youtube, he has several videos on seed oils showing the current body of evidence and explains to you in basic terms why it doesn’t appear that seed oils are bad. Spoiler: actual outcome based data shows seed oils are fine, only ecological data and mechanistic research (sometimes) say the opposite.
He was strong enough to force the ape from the golf cart .gif into a tight ass butter suit? And make him throw the deuces AND smile for a pic? He even painted that niggas toenails. Yea, id say hes probably pretty strong to do all that to a fuckin big ass monkey.
>>76776764>He was good in your and everyone else's eyes,No, he wasn't. Are you retsrded?
>>76777662-30$ a month for an app retard hands wrote this
>>76773653He deleted the video where he promotes "le jews are smarter" eugenics, poetic.
>>76777662No, people undermine what a PhD dissertation really is, you could argue that a Bachelor or even a Master Thesis to some extent is like that. A PhD dissertation should prove that the knowldge you have on the topic of choice is second to none in the entire world. Does it make sense that you work almost entirely on that topic for 4-6 years and then produce a botched job? Go back to your RP Sponsored cave kike
>>76777867Lol. PhDs are basically a joke unless you get one at a very prestigious university with rigorous standards. If you get one from a random university it's basically worthless.
>>76776722>15% bf on stage>THE FAT CELLS WONT GO AWAYsurely youre not that dumb lmfao
>>76776764>So whats the deal? He was good in your and everyone else's eyesThat was never the case. The shitty paper revelation just confirmed what everyone anyway knew other than zoomers and indians
>>76777662>t. Scott the camera guy
>>76773550
>>76773550There were always plenty of reasons to dislike this guy (jewish, manlet, powerlifter, etc) but the final straw for me was the training video with the SEALs. This nigga is weak and slow as fuck, a complete fitness false flag, and I don't care how many letters he has after his name after seeing that.
>>76776945>embarrased I fell for that crapWhen he repeats what's actually true he makes sense, it's his own "le science based" information that sucks ass. >>76777064He overly complicates shit for no reason while sucking at the basics, at this point I could swallow an entire conspiracy theory revolving around astroturffed influencers that just want to keep the population weak.
>>76773565The 'Standard' is 10 reps? Bullshit. Where do they come up with these numbers?
>>76773558>I swear just 4-3 years ago you still needed to be a jacked monstruous open bodybuilder or proportionate jeff seid/zyzz/athlean x abs panic lanklet to be known in shitness.This ain't 2013. The fitness industry exploded during the pandemic. Any joe schmoe can get a following these days. Back then, it was Gym vlogs that were popular and you needed charisma. Now a days, Educational content and fitness entertainment videos are all the rage.

>>76776790its faketheres a vid of mike doing strict ohp with like 245 lbs or something. theres no way he has a hard time benching that little with how umch he roids unless hes injured
>>76777726>actual outcome based data shows seed oils are fineSo fine and safe, that the only data comes from using cold oil, and then using that as a conclusion that boiling food in it is fine. That right there, shows YOU failed the litmus test and you're just like Doctored Mike, a retard who thinks they are smart and looks for the most inane/bogus ways to try to justify it. But no, you're fucking stupid, Mike is stupid, and so is whoever the Nutrition Made by a Simpleton is.
>>76777531>Got a video where all this stuff happens?Only if you haven't deleted them yet Mike>says he's an authority on bodybuilding>says he competes to prove his training methods work>says he's a genius>says he could take a year and become a world-class expert in any field>says he's a bjj black belt>says absurd high volume is the best way to trainAll of the above are sourced in Solomon Nelson's conversation with Lyle McDonald critiquing Israetel's training>doesn't know how to train near failure (or is too afraid to snap his shit up)See Lyle's Failing to Fail series>eats cereal and tacos for contest prep>goes on stage overweight and fluffy>places pathetically at his bodybuilding competitions then retires>never gains a pro card>copes that his bloated belly is genetic and not combination of gh gut + shit diet>gets surgery to drain his fat storesSolomon & Lyle again>is 5'5 on his tippy toes and is deeply insecure about itMy supposition>discusses his roid rage and urge to attack people who call him a loser online>discusses his desire to fight and kill a dogSolomon & Lyle again>is jewishKnown>received his phd based on incompetent and flagrantly garbage research, then tried to cover it up when this was discoveredSolomon's PhD dissertation critique>virtually no footage of ever training bjj, virtually no competition or rolling footageGo and look, you will find (1) him badly rolling with a complete novice, (2) a short of him rolling at b-team, (3) a video where he learns from some MMA fighter and loses a fake fight with his wife. I have never seen any competition or serious rolling footage from him, nor heard of his ever entering a competition - but I would be happy to be wrong on this?
>>76780047>that the only data comes from using cold oil, and then using that as a conclusion that boiling food in it is fineIncorrect, there are RCTs looking specifically at heated oils. I recommend watching this short 10 minute video on the topic: https://youtu.be/yqN61Z-qp88?si=YDJrvQ9QW67nEMvp
>>76780098(Me) I found a single match of his at the Arnold from 2018, competing as a purple beltHe looked much heavier than the other guy so I assume either shallow bracket or openweightHe stalls with grips until the other guy pulls guard, stalls on his knees until the other guy throws up a triangle, smash passes then submits from side control with ??? his weight?I remain unimpressed
Mogged! What a manlet
>>76780181Cringe
>>76773550Yeah
>>76775507I have a phd. I’m aware that sports science probably has lower standards than other programs. But even factoring that in, his thesis was bad. And it reflects poorly on his advisor, the committee and the entire department. It’s clear that he has always taken the easy path in life. Doesn’t train hard—just takes steroids. Doesn’t want to actually use his brain—just uses the easiest path to a PhD possible. Doesn’t diet hard—just takes weight loss pills and gets lipo. But this can only take you so far. He got delusional and thought he could go pro. Turns out these guys are working fucking hard and he couldn’t compete.And there’s nothing wrong with taking the easy path. But when you talk smack you better be prepared to put up. And he was not. He’s like those midgets who pick fights with giants and get smacked down. Know your fucking place and accept it with grace. God loves everyone.
>>76780343He should start slapping Minoxidil all over his head and start dwarfmaxxing
>>76777662Your dissertation is your PhD. Let me repeat: your PhD = your dissertation. If your dissertation sucks, your PhD sucks. Period. During the first 1-2 years you take classes at the masters level. For the remaining 3-5 years you write your dissertation, take electives and work in labs/teach to support yourself. You put your whole heart and soul into the dissertation. It is the thing that proves you know what you’re talking about. Most phds only have a dissertation to back their expertise. Very few go on to publish even more. His dissertation looks like an undergrad honors student paper rough draft. As someone with a PhD myself, I was shocked when I saw Solomon’s video. I knew that a lot of departments push out shitty phds, but damn. This one was bad. It’s insulting that he is calling himself a doctor. I spent 60 hour weeks, month after month, perfecting my dissertation, and I still have imposter syndrome and don’t call myself a doctor. His PhD should actually be revoked in my opinion.
>>76782083You don't even need a Pile of Hot Dogshit degree to fathom how retarded his statistics were, pretty sure any anon with a decent grad thesis on a BSc could be able to spot how shitty his paper is>>76782114>should be revokedHe should be revoked, his advisor and the fucking committee
>>7677754795% of guys don’t know what 2-3 RIR feels like and rarely ever do that. You will look like you are struggling a lot at 2-3 RIR. So it’s a useless metric. It’s far more practical and effective to just tell people to lift very hard. Harder than they think they can. Harder than last time, in fact.
>>76773550I only know who this guy is because you guys spam him on this board. Sure, I've seen him in a single YouTube short from the B-team when he was rolling with Nicky Ryan, but I only opened the video because I knew who he was from /fit/. Otherwise, I'd just ignore it since I'd think that it's a literal who.
>>76773555Based trips
>>76777547>No shit you don't have to work out until failure. You're getting like 90% of the growth by stopping 2-3 reps before failure.This is correct. >>76782133But so is this. Telling people to leave two or three reps in the tank doesn't work unless they have some decent experience working with 1rm percentages and low reps. People will quit at like five plus reps away from failure. It's better to just tell people to push each set as hard as they reasonably can until getting another rep feels unlikely and that their last few reps should have the bar speed slow down considerably.
Isn't racism a bannable offence on blue boatds? Why does antisemitism get a pass???
