Is it just me?

Hey guys

So I am really at wits ends... How do you trust someone with your diet/workout programme when they themselves don't look up to scratch?

I mean, this is the second time someone approached me to assist in drawing up a proper (professional) diet/workout, but they themselves look quite unimpressive. Am I just judgemental? I in my trial and error, and self-study, look way better then they themselves?

Is it just me that is sceptical or do these people know what they are doing/take themselves and me seriously? I am really done with people wasting my time, giving me info I already either know or could have found on google...

I'm really growing annoyed with people who put you under the impression that they can help you, when in reality it seems they just hold you back and take you for a ride financially...

Stick to this site trust me on this one. What´s gonna happen is you are gonna put the diet up for critique on this site and we are gonna tear it apart. With logic ofcourse..

@ Pyro, I have learned so much from you guys since I started hanging out here. Nobody else has taught me anything I didn't already learn from you guys, plus a little extra.

I just wish these so called fitness experts hanging around the gym would shape up physically and mentally. I'm not even going to post the info they gave me because you will just laugh. I'm just going to stick with whatever you guys suggest and roll with it...

I agree with Pyro 100 percent.
I paid a lot of cash to an X mr South Africa for a diet and program and ended up just tossing the lot, I could see from what worked for me in the past with DJ that 400g of mince and 300 of pasta for meal 5 when I train in the early morning that I was going to look like the Oros man.
His Idea of a lean bulk for a 91kg guy was 4600 cals a day with no cardio.

My 2 cent's worth is people some times do know wht they talking about but don't have the mind power or will power to achieve there goal's . It seems to me you too are in this boat . The best advice I can give you is to find a program off body building.com that u think you might like and stick to it .It's the only way you going to know wht work's for you,, it's trail and era tell u find what works for you. There is no right or wrong in this game it is all about consistency and patience .

Regarding your diet read through the diet sticky's if you have not already done so and work out how much u need to eat and post a diet what u think is more or less right and we wil diffently help you fine tune it. Then you can eat like that for 2 weeks and we can make adjustment's from there if needed .

Kind Regaurd's

Well hany rambod is not what you would call a greek god but he has 6Mr olimpia titles.
Oscar who trained kai had no body yet he had national champs and arnold classic champ.
I myself I am currently 111kg @ 14-15% with some water.I am bulky but if you look at the guys I train and do diets for they are at the top of their class conditioning wise(not bragging)but the pics speak for themselves.

What I am trying to say is find the right people.
They might be 30%bf but know their shit

Or dont have the Genes .....Be careful what diet advice u give missfitness she wants to buy a gun ..not a big one just a 9mm :lol: :lol: just pulling your leg dear

@Mike123, hahahah! :lol:

@VonD, I hear what you say and I do agree, but it's a different scenario alltogether when you can see/hear right away this person has no idea what they're doing, yet put themselves so high up and tries to convince you the can help you get where you want to be,AND charges you and arm & a leg for it. By all means, give me someone with 30%bf but KNOW what they're doing instead of someone trying to fool me....I may look stupid but I'm not really.

@Jaxcs, I do not agree with you at all. I am very eager to learn and I work hard already, which does NOT put me in the same boat. This, in fact, shows how willing I am to learn and adapt. Despite working from 8-5, studying at night and managing a household and all my own finances at 23, I still make time to work on my fitness and to learn. I have read up on almost all the posts I can, but I need to fine tune my programmes in order to get exactly where I want to be. Some people on here have been very patient with me which I do appreciate so much, and no time/effort is wasted as I do take it to heart. I'm just taking a bit longer to learn than others who have been in this for a longer time and who maybe have connections and people who work with them through this. I am however attempting this all on my own with no outside support apart from the odd few on here who help me. I do not mean to sound rude but I know my circumstances and feel quite offended seeing someone telling me I do not have willpower.

U better run Jaxcs :lol: .....Have a Karma for the willpower Sweety

Thanks Mike123 looks like you know what's good for you :silly:

Maaaaaybe it's because they are sooo busy helping everyone else with their diets/training that they don't have time to focus on themselves :silly:

@Fitness

Always good to see a woman stand her ground.

@ Jaxcs

Pooned. Vaseline is on special @ dischem.

Dankie Oupa haha

Well miss

Lets see the proof is in the pudding .

All I was saying is work out a diet from all research you have done and let's have a look at it so we can make tweaks if need .

And I would be more happy then not to see u reach your goal's then not. That's what we are here for to learn and help each other.

I just might be the spark you needed to get pissed off and say ill show him
