I came here as a MM2K disciple after “the falling out”. T Nation definitely went through a long period of TBT (some upper/lower), core, PL, and athletic training, to the point of seeming anti-bodybuilding.
Remember that Ian King, Coach Davies, Charles Poliquin, DeFranco, Tate, Waterbury, and many others, were/are first and foremost athletic/performance/strength coaches. Even Thibs was an Oly coach/lifter before making the switch. Many articles were laced with comments about BB’er being all show and no go, or oiled up gorillas in a thong. Direct arm work, traditional ab training, body part spilts, and steady state cardio were all big no-no’s.
It’s all part of the experiment. The forums are a great way to get real world feedback (for user and T Nation) and see what is working for others.
I remember a thread back in 02 or 03 started by a college kid who was a lean 220 pounds with fantastic symmetry. Everyone asked the usual “what do you eat?”, “how do you train?” questions. He was on a 6 day split and did some cardio (not HIIT). I don’t recall much about his diet other than he used to eat Captain Crunch every morning (I think with a protein shake). Well, the response was not good to say the least. He was first accused of lying and then using steroids as no one could possibly get those results by doing it all wrong. Some more helpful souls tried to set him straight and recommended he start TBT, HIIT, and clean up his diet.
We’ve come a long way since then, in some ways. Hopefully we can at least agree there’s more than one way to skin a cat, and everyone is different. Results speak for themselves regardless of what the flavor of the month author is telling you. Try different approaches for yourself and decide if it’s useful to you.

Like 6 years ago,a man who broke the world record in number of pull-ups done in 24 hours opened a thread here about his plans to break his own record- and what happened you can already assume-the internet-experts were sure he was doing it wrong training & diet wise and gave plenty of advice! :))))
