Once upon a time, fat was the enemy. Then carbs were the enemy.
We were supposed to eat every 2-3 hours. Then Intermittent fasting.
We were supposed to do steady state cardio and keep the heart rate in range. Now its HIIT.
Creatine was once dangerous. We used to cycle that shit. Now it's as safe as milk and eggs.
We were supposed to drink whey within the metabolic window. Now we drink a whey casein mix whenever.
Machines were safer then freeweights. Now they are not.
Periodization was key. Now crossfit...
How is anyone supposed to believe anything about getting fit? Every single piece of advice I ever got has its proponents and opponents.
Some will answer this by saying "figure out what works best for you." And my argument is then why bother doing any research on any protocol if it means nothing to the individual? Your science says "do this" but why should I bother listening to your science if chances are it may not work for me?
Why is our science so flawed?
