If conventional wisdom worked (or worked easily) everyone that came to get advice from TNation would look like a bodybuilder in less than a year.
Most people, including those on T-Nation, don't look like bodybuilders because they don't have what it takes to be successful bodybuilders--plain and simple! They don't have the lifestyle, discipline, great genetics, or whatever other resources are necessary. They're not lacking some extraordinary wisdom, although in some cases they may be held back by their own stupidity and ignorance, which seems to be the ever growing cases these days.
Conventional wisdom for bodybuilding isn't the reason why some don't look likie successful bodybuilders considering nearly all successful bodybuilders do the same shit, and they especially did similar shit in the beginning.
That is, they did this in the beginning:
1) Full body workouts or half body splits using basic exercises
2) A diet of 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound, 20% of the diet fat, and rest carbs.
Can you please provide what esoteric method we'd all benefit or would have benefited from considering conventional wisdom is usually flawed?
I don't mean to be confrontational, but if you have such wisdom, I'd like to have some of it, and I'm sure others would to.
What does your approach look like-macronutrient breakdown and lifting regimen for beginners and intermediates? You don't haveto write a book here, but I'm sure you can give us a gist in a paragraph or two.
