Back off "supplements" during intensive cruise?

[Scott Stevenson]

Sometimes you just need a reminder on this by a mind a few orders of magnitude smarter than yours.

We are bodybuilders, it's in our DNA try to try do too MUCH of everything

LOL!!!

I think its also that we're HUMAN and at the same time are looking for the easiest route sometimes, as well, and we paint a picture based on the info. we're presented with.

In decades past, no on was talking about these kinds of things (at least in the US), so new guys (and women) coming into the sport followed suit, which meant focusing on training, diet and other means of recovery. Now, the landscape is different.

Consider Dante's observation simply that the largest guys lifted the heaviest loads (for reps), thus suggesting that progressive overload was the way to go. He saw this as a main distinguishing feature separating the monsters from the not so large.

Nowadays, there are very few (Jordan Peters being the main one who does to mind) who are open about super supplementation and brutally hard training. Consider how many of the "drug guru" kinds of personalities are out there who don't really have any videos of themselves actually TRAINING. This sends a very distinct blend of information, which logically suggests that drugs are more important than training (or other things).
