Pinky is into broscience? That's cool. I got into going to the gym like 3 to 4 years ago, so I've been exposed to the research discussion and I find it so overwhelming. I feel like no one can agree on the optimal strategies, so I just have to pick something and hope it's right.

I'm exactly the nerd I'm making fun of in this topic.

I think "optimal" is a completely useless thing to try and guess at. There's never going to be any specific program, diet or training advice that works for everyone that you can just dole out as some kind of holy template. There's just principles and how to adapt to how you respond.

Like I said before, there's lots of gymbros who get really big and strong and never learned anything about training smart, they just continued to train. On the other hand I don't think there are any broscientists who have become world class bodybuilders or athletes without actually applying consistency and effort.

80-90% of the results is just showing up and doing shit for years.
