Health, fitness, gains and wellbeing

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

If bored:

This is the biggest “controversy” in the fitness world atm. And it’s not really much of a controversy, when it’s basically the entire world’s opinion vs a few people’s

Some dude named Hussein Farhat is another in a long line of fake Natty’s. He didn’t do shit for all of puberty, and ended it looking like a twig. Then he put on a colossal amount of pure lean muscle in just 3 years while LOSING fat. And of course claimed it was a “natural” transformation, no PED’s

Normally this is something you see dozens of times per day online. But for whatever reason one of the biggest influencers in the industry Greg Doucette decided to go hard backing this guy. Now apparently he is an equal partner in Greg’s HTLT supplement line, with him and Greg claiming he was natty, and Greg saying he made the crazy gains he did because he had “1 in a million” genetics

It’s a weird hill for Greg’s reputation to die on. Because the entire world can plain as day see things don’t add up:

1. Someone with 1 in a million genetics would not be looking like a twig by the end of puberty. Guys with super athletic genetics (usually black, let’s be real), look like jacked adults before they even get through puberty. Crazy muscle genetics don’t suddenly “turn on” at some random point of your life past puberty

2. It’s incredibly difficult to put on something like 50lbs of lean muscle with zero fat. It’s possible, but not in that length of time. Eating in any kind of a caloric surplus necessary to gain muscle will also gain fat. And eating in a deficit will result in significantly slower muscle building, when natty. With PED’s all this goes out the window however, especially since anyone can take any dose of anything, or stack multiple things. Then the sky is the limit basically

3. Greg is now churning out videos showing the guy’s blood work to prove he’s natty, which is stupid and everyone knows it. Any idiot can take a bunch of PED’s, put on a lot of size, then come off and show “natural” blood markers. Doesn’t prove shit

4. This guy with “1 in a million” genetics suddenly has basically plateau’d. Everyone knows it’s because he stopped the PED’s to prove natty. But for someone with “1 in a million genetics” as Greg says, this wouldn’t happen

Either way, Philion is a very anti-PED shill, and he has some reasonable takes on the entire thing. This is him commenting on a different creator’s video talking about these issues
