I come here to learn about as many techniques because I am planning on being a personal trainer and I want to know what will work for the everyday body. The only time I see these guys cut out all the junk is about 4 weeks out, but they may slip here and there, except for that last 10-14 days. Now keep in mind that some of these guys are 20-30 lbs outside their contest weight when they start dieting and they dont look fat! So whats the secret? Genetics, drugs and consistency. The heavy weight pro that I know eats 2-3 junk meals a day, uses so little protien powder (although he is a spokeperson for one of the bigger brands), drinks or has his recovery meal somtime after his workout and that may include drive thru soda and meal. When I come to forums like this, I am always amused by how many people in the know dont necessarily look like anything special. The bottom line is if you have genetics, the right drugs, and are consistently using both to the fullest potential you can eat whatever the heck you want for the most part and you will still look awesome. If you dont have it, then you need to be very anal about all of it. all imo of course.
