It’s all relative! The best thing to do is get a DNA analysis to see how your body responds to different foods and whatever your body assimilates the best! Gene variants & DNA play a critical role in diet.
Nowadays everyone has "their diet"
Balonie
steak and rice
Vertical
Horizontal
Zigzag
All fancy names marketing
The one thing I see Stan doing that I don’t see a lot of other guys doing is blood testing his athletes and then using whole food sources to supplement any micronutrient deficiencies. Specific vitamins and minerals, that sort of thing. Can’t hurt.
josipgatesThat helps with performance a lot,when I watch my micros not only macros my energy and overall how I feel is so much better.
It's a common sense bodybuilding diet. Like you say most bodybuilders have been doing it for a long time. No need to get fancy.
josipgatesAnd Stan was super smart guy to put name on,make some good marketing and you got great business.
It's eat Steak & Rice for virtually every meal of the day when I've watched his videos on it, so that it burns through and digests as quickly as possible in order for you to eat quickly again to bulk and gain strength as much as possible. Stan has produced many top level strongmen and powerlifters using the principles of it. Thor and Larry Wheels both use it after they hired him, the guy is a nutritional god.
josipgatesYeah I have been doing steak and rice for years now, that is my favorite post workout meal..Stan is super smart guy,put a label on that diet and make a business of it.
Only for bodybuilding to cut bf very low on that diet could be hard,cause of horizontal part to hit all your micros first
jayiskBesides Stan being an elite PL and pro BB he is a very successful business man. If i remember correctly he started in real estate and is involved in numerous other things. Dude got money. Plus he still looks like a beast at 50 or 51 yrs old.
josipgatesI know,even still can lift heavy deads..and that vertical diet really explode worldwide. But if u did not hear now Brian Shaw is no longer on his diet,now he claims that cause of diet he did not place well last year..makes no sense cause Thor is insane good and many others on vertical
jayiskdidnt know Shaw was using the vertical diet. but i have seen his recent videos after his last lose about him changing his diet and somethings in training. Brian did say he was going back to his diet from a few yrs back. So not sure if he had been running the vertical diet the whole time. Each yr he seemed to switch his diet up.
at 6'8 440 lbs and training twice a day i am sure any diet with a surplus of cals. will work for him.
Considering his hard ass work ethic with training, nutrition, recover and dedication to the sport.
He is a very humble dude but obv. very pissed about the lose.
josipgatesSuper pissed but as u can see still was very kind cause he did not say directly on video that it was vertical diet or mention Stan. People like him now even more after that.
If you look at results,Shaw did not get weaker he stayed the same but thing is that everyone else like Thor just got so much better
jayiskLol..,i never realized how little Thors wife is. Thought it was his daughter.
But listen to her grunt while doing a db hamstring exercise. Nice!
