I’ll add that years ago I hired a nutritionist after dieting weigh down to bulk. I can’t remember numbers but we worked together for three months and I put on a noticeable amount of muscle and not much fat. I’m not going to act like I was ever the most ripped but if I made those gains with an online coach, and 1-2 sessions a week with a PT (combined with PHAT) then MBJ with his resources and 18 months could do what he did.
Everyone is taking sides and MBJ for the period we are talking about is splitting hairs honestly. If nothing else he had a pretty long runway. These guys saying 20 pounds in 4 months for X role are selling ducktales.
Definitely
People got to consider his resources. They aren’t like ours, more on the lines of a professional athlete.
And I’m pretty sure he had a nutritionist. I think I watched a vid a long time ago with him explaining how he prepared. But it was just in passing.
A nutritionist can literally make a lot of difference in just ordinary peoples lives. Chick I’m interested in talking to got one and lost a ton of built up, stubborn babyweight. Thats without a trainer.
And 18 months is a long fukking time if you putting in 2-3 hours every other day or something. Like I said before, people really don’t comprehend time.
If 8 hours of his day was dedicated to his body, 5x’s a week for a year and a half like a job… expect some significant changes. Your physique is based off genetics, nutrition, and how much time you spent in the gym/on the grind. Resting is a part of that because thats when you grow and when the protein is supposed to do its job.
