Why attacking? Everyone's free to compare looks of others and share their opinions. At least I didn't call names as some of your idols may have. And I'm not talking behind Lyle's back as there's nothing to be aggravated about, just an opinion:

And why do you keep listing Bryan, Blade, Martin and Brad as my idols list? Is this because I haven't yet listed you among them? No problem absolutely, you're hereby granted the right to be named my idol: Bryan, Blade, Martin, Brad, AlexAustralia. Totentanz, Sci, are you with us? Hurry, jump on the bandwagon!
p.s.: please let's keep this a civilized discussion, it wouldn't do anyone good to gnash their teeth.
Regarding yourself, I refer to then as your idols because .. da da da daaaaa .. you idolise them in your posts. It isn't a crime, it doesn't make you a bad person however quoting opinions doesn't make for an argument. Whatever any of them have to say holds the strength of evidence it based upon
The argument you made was that Martin must know more//be 'more correct'//should be followed etc because of how he looks, relative to Lyle's appearance/physicality.
Said argument lacks for validity in premise, context, evidence, contingency and conclusion.
As Lyle said when pointedly correcting you, a coach can only be judged by the results of their trainees.
Furthermore,
you made that post. No one else did. The civility was withdrawn by your own actions. I could care less if you like me/listen to me/think about me, but many of us here prefer that the discussions of the forums continue the guiding philosophy that Bryan began; evidence-based hypertrophy training.
The term 'evidence' cannot be interchanged with personal opinion. This is what drew the ire of Totentanz regarding Brad's inability to properly interpret the study he quoted. Deciding 2 + 2 = 5 doesn't make it so, regardless of the interpretive position one takes, 2 + 2 will always = 4.
Similarly, you must eat a caloric surplus to build muscle. You must be in a caloric deficit to have a net loss of body fat. Eating partioning into 'feeding' and 'fasting' time periods doesn't alter this. It's possible that IF protocols optimise the ratio of muscle:fat when in surplus, similarly they may optimise the ratio of muscle retained: fat lost when in deficit, but you can't cheat mathematics.
Anyway, I'm with Totentanz ... rational and reasonable debate isn't happening.
Tangent - the name of the coach in the photo is Jerry Tarkanian. He is responsible for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament win with the highest score and largest victory margin, coaching the UNLV 'Runnin' Rebels. It's also irrelevant as to whether or not he played professional basketball.
). This way I never feel the hunger, and from what I've read in Lyle's work 2.5-3 hrs interval between meals actually makes body more sensitive to protein "waves". It's been a month since I've started experimenting with this eating less stuff, all I know for sure is that I'll never be this fat again. Skinfold measurements with a caliper are a bit tricky to do accurately at the moment because I can still easily grab my belly fat with my palm - it's that big, but not significantly more than 18% as per JP/3 or JP/4
