    Funny story for you guys:

    I'm sure many of you are familiar with George Leeman. This isn't about him going completely batshit crazy and moving to Cambodia and railing underaged prostitutes. About 2.5 years ago, George Leeman fell head over heels in love with my current girlfriend of two years. He was legitimately ready and willing to either relocate to her or move her in with him. He even said the three words and mentioned marriage. She was young and naive and liked him as a friend because she was a figure competitor at the time and didn't want to let him down hard. He told her all sorts of ungodly things that he enjoys sexually (primarily rough anal and throat fucking). He told her all the drugs he was on (IIRC three types of tren and several pro-hormones).

    Long story short: George needs serious psychiatric counseling stat.

    Was he talking about her on Mark Bell's podcast?

    No, no. That was his most recent girlfriend who he had a huge falling out with.

    That's a relief. That story got a little fucky so I tuned out, I just remember there was some crazy shit going down with the girl and her brother, or some shit.

    But it sounds like he is the common denominator of fuckery.

    More than a little fucky. I could provide more cliffs as the whole situation was beyond bizarre, but I'd have to check up on some old Facebook posts.

    I just remember listening to the podcast as I was cutting the grass, hoping to get some deadlift insights and it basically ended up sounding like the worst therapist session ever. So awkward. I just turned it off.

    Mark Bell is pretty cool. I don't listen to his podcast, but I do watch some of his YT videos. Was dying at the one last week of him calling out Mike O'Hearn. Called him "Mike O'Tren".

    I saw that. I thought it was a joke, but I never heard a punchline. I like that he doesn't take himself to seriously. The podcast can be hit or miss, but I listen to most of them.

    Used to love George but he's gotten so fucked up, probably gonna be dead soon either from drugs, getting killed doing something retarded in Cambodia, or self inflicted.

    [​IMG]

    Delusional too. If you don't wanna be creeped out don't watch any of his videos with his 12 year old Cambodian 'girlfriend'

    The sad part is he truly believes these prostitutes are actually into him and worship him like a God because he's huge, and not because of the shekels he's putting in their pockets.

    That Facebook post George put out there about his ex was creepy as fuck.

    "I found out she was into very rough sex. Her ultimate fantasy was to be tied up where she couldn't see who was fucking her

    That's when I decided to date her"

    The ex claimed that George was severely abusive (which I'm sure he was), George denies this and then proceeds to air ALL of her family's disgustingly dirty laundry, which was completely uncalled for.

    He then proceeds to move to fucking Cambodia and is living like a "king" over there in his 1BR apartment, spending 10 dollars a day.

    Just found this old video of me when I was fat. Most of you probably don't know, but I was almost 300 pounds when I graduated college and in 8 months I cut down to 205 at a legitimate 7-8% bodyfat.

    This was 415 paused without a spotter (retard) in the middle of my diet:

    Nowhere near enough carbs, absolutely 0 healthy fats, probably a little low on the protein side as well. If you want to lift and get stronger/see any kind of aesthetic changes you need to fuel yourself properly and that nutrition isn't getting you there.

    Don't take anything out. You're barely eating anything. Add in rice, potatoes, and oats. Add in peanut butter/almond butter/cashew butter/almonds/pistachios/olive oil. Add in some more protein as well.

    For more casual lifters I just recommend eating by intuition. If you're trying to gain weight and you have a weak appetite, you will have to eat more than you're comfortable with. If you're trying to lose weight and you have a voracious appetite, you will have to eat less than you're comfortable with. Use the scale to gauge your progress and adjust accordingly.

    Become familiar with protein portion sizes and attempt to hit your bodyweight in protein (in grams of protein) each day - this is by far the most important aspect to nutrition while weight training.

    Eat a well-rounded, balanced diet. I generally just recommend a higher protein, moderate carb, moderate fat diet for natural trainees. What this means is: have a portion of protein, carbohydrates, and a healthy fat at each meal. If you're eating a fattier protein source (red meat, fatty fish), then hold the fat source at that meal.

    I don't even advocate the tracking of macros anymore unless you are seriously intent on getting lean (less than 12%).

    Menelaus, your post the other day made me think of this kid I used to know back at Rutgers who was with Shredz from the very beginning. I just looked him up and he's now "director of talent" which is probably quite a prestigious title in the company, given how much they rely on "talent". Apparently he's been hanging out with Dan Bilzerian, Dan even posted a video with him a couple weeks ago.

    All of this because some guidos got together and decided to cash in on the "GTL" fad back from Jersey Shore.

    That's not really how that happens. Pretty sure if you're genetically predisposed to hair loss then it's going to happen no matter what. I know running juice can do it, but it's only because it can speed up what was already going to happen anyways.
