- squishee, on 05/30/2009, -2/+55In Soviet Russia, diet consumes you!
- inactive, on 05/30/2009, -1/+40no liquids? DUMBASS!
- Exedous, on 05/30/2009, -1/+31High protein diets require a lot of liquid for the proteins to become deaminated. No liquid, destined epic failure.
- wolfy2424, on 05/30/2009, -3/+24The Gene Pool wins this one
- MrInfallible, on 05/30/2009, -1/+17Legitimate diet? You don't need to go to a doctor to start a diet, unless you have an underlying medical condition. It's a pretty simple concept, eat less ***** and move more.
- Drazzard, on 05/30/2009, -2/+13He's saying a high protein diet in combination with the high intensity workout & dehydration is bad.
Which it is. - BeesKnees21, on 05/30/2009, -1/+12It may sound stupid but this is the way a lot of professional body builders make themselves look so cut during the competition. I had a friend that went into a few competitions in his early twenties and he said the dehydration part before the competition was by far the worst thing he ever went through.
- Skwerl, on 05/30/2009, -1/+10The fact that body building is considered a sport is what I find to be the saddest part of this whole thing. Weight lifting is a sport for sure, it's based on actual physical achievement and measurable benchmarks, but body building is nothing more than a beauty pageant for muscles.
- mitrovarr, on 05/30/2009, -1/+10The most amusing part about it is that when you get to that level, nobody but other bodybuilders find you attractive anyway.
- dreamache, on 05/30/2009, -1/+10Vascularity. One of the most important aspects of doing well in bodybuilding competitions is how vascular (or in layman's terms, how ripped you are)
- Paulish, on 05/30/2009, -1/+10Even though water doesn't have calories, the excess water can be "held" by the body and thus add weight and reduce the tone look of muscles.
- superKduper, on 05/30/2009, -1/+9Yeah, but he looked great! And he won the all-comers award at the Vulva competition! I'd say his life was complete.
- dagamer34, on 05/30/2009, -1/+8Most of your body weight is water. Of course, not drinking water for 3 days REALLY screws up your water balance and will easily give you hypotension (low blood pressure). And if that's not enough, you're body will do some crazy things to correct itself, sometimes killing itself in the process (as seen here).
Trust me, I'm a *future* doctor! :) - w00tnot, on 05/30/2009, -2/+9Stuffing your face hardly takes any effort.
So yeah, working your ass off to die from such a dumb choice is more worthy of an award. - ChrisDaneOwens, on 05/30/2009, -5/+12There's nothing wrong with a high protein diet.
- mare88, on 05/30/2009, -0/+6Not when you're not drinking any water and exercising heavily. Obviously, you need energy, and if you're getting the majority of the energy from proteins, the aminoacids need to be deaminated first, producing urea. Urea can only be excreted by urine, and urine can only be concentrated to a certain point. After that, to produce more urine to get rid of the excess urea, you need water. If you don't drink enough water... ;)
- Xihix, on 05/30/2009, -1/+7I thought most competition body builders abstained from liquids like a day before the actual event.
- asgardshill, on 05/30/2009, -1/+7I must break you.
- jamangold, on 05/30/2009, -0/+6The picture they showed of Sarychev - he looked a lot older than 25. He looked more like 45.
- CanadianSixPack, on 05/30/2009, -0/+6To get paper thin skin you basically have to suck your body dry.
Not drinking water.. add some diuretics, a little time in the sauna and you've got yourself a championship bodybuilder with renal failure. (and that's without taking into account possible years of PED use)
I remember reading an article about Paul Dillet at the Arnold Classic freezing up on stage while posing, they had to cart him off like a statue after all of his muscles cramped up and he literally couldn't move. - diskopo, on 05/30/2009, -2/+7Killing yourself slowly doesn't preclude you from producing offspring, so it doesn't qualify for a Darwin award. Killing yourself fast does.
- yevkasem, on 05/30/2009, -1/+6eating fewer cheeseburgers and walking a few miles a day is a legitimate diet. anything you see on tv, radio, or your gmail spam box is not. no one dies from eating less donuts.
- Skwerl, on 05/30/2009, -3/+8Participating in a beauty pageant for muscles sounds pretty stupid by itself, doing something you know is bad for your body just to compete is even worse.
- doublestuforeo, on 05/30/2009, -2/+6keyboard cat play him off
- borez, on 05/30/2009, -1/+5Because all bodybuilders are communists?
- inactive, on 05/30/2009, -0/+3What the...further on in the article this is written:
"After the tiresome car wash experience Nikolai worked as a security guard for $7 per hour. “A black man was the company's owner. I was the only white male in the whole neighborhood who was working for a black male."
the hell? - silverhydra, on 05/30/2009, -1/+4@mattrudolph
Way to quote an article pertaining to people with diabetes - loudthing, on 05/30/2009, -0/+3That's one super old looking 25-year-old.
- DeusGear, on 05/30/2009, -1/+4What the hell? These were the two most retarded sentences I've ever read.
- inactive, on 05/31/2009, -0/+3Good show old chap. Cheerio, pip pip and all that.
- fafaforza, on 05/30/2009, -0/+3I suppose if there was a captive audience to watch pushups, it would become a sport.
Maybe that's the definition of sport? An audience? - lead2thehead, on 05/30/2009, -0/+3It makes you look more cut.
- dhughes, on 05/30/2009, -0/+3 I think the 'rule' is 3cc of water for every 1g of protein for the average person? I'm not sure where I read that or if it's even true.
- sgerwel1985, on 05/30/2009, -0/+3Water weight is a big concern for these people. Because some of the supplements they take, water is stored in fatty tissue throughout the body, well kinda. Thus the last couple weeks to days they cut back on water intake to get "cut".
- jasmus, on 05/31/2009, -0/+3This guy would have had to fight his body all the way to not drink anything. His body would have been sending VERY clear signals that he should get himself some liquid. This took a LOT of effort. Getting fat doesn't.
yes, bodybuilders dehydrate themselves. Not too many would think it's ok to go 3 DAYS without liquid, while training. Most would also know their body well enough that they would recognise if they were in trouble, and not push through the pain. - wastelander, on 05/30/2009, -0/+3From the same website.. WTF?
"Dog gives birth to mutant creature that resembles human being"

..haven't there been a bunch of articles about Russians engaged in bestiality? Makes you wonder .. :-P - dreamache, on 05/31/2009, -0/+2Actually I'm a personal trainer, and if you knew anything about the track record of those companies, you would know that they've been in and out of court for false claims and absolutely terrible results.
- netneutrality, on 05/30/2009, -1/+3Pravda is a joke news site. Examine the other stories.
- lyssword, on 05/31/2009, -0/+2who said he had no offspring?
- mare88, on 05/30/2009, -6/+8And a high protein diet. Not a good idea.
- GeekNurse, on 05/30/2009, -1/+3You kidneys need to put out at minimum 30mL an hour. Any less and they start to shut down after a prolonged period of no output.
- yourbrokenoven, on 05/30/2009, -1/+3That's why legitimate diets contain a disclaimer telling you to speak to your doctor before beginning any diet. We had a doctor himself go into cardiac arrest and almost die in the parking lot from a diet he was on.
- draggy73, on 05/30/2009, -0/+2No liquids? No Vodka!
- ThatEvilGuy, on 05/30/2009, -1/+3Remember kids, moderation!
- ZzFDKzZ, on 05/30/2009, -0/+2That dog giving birth is super old. That sickness is call Waterdogs.
- onegoodsoul, on 05/30/2009, -0/+2How is that for "thin-spiration"? If you aren't willing to go all the way, don't go...
- sgerwel1985, on 05/30/2009, -1/+3Your claim is so false it isn't even funny. There are a lot of people who take those programs and do very well. But you must realize, they come from both ends of the tunnel. 1) The very obese who quit after several days. 2) the thin, who feel they are fat when in reality... they are not. So there isn't much benefit the diet did for them.
Overall though, those who fall in the middle, with strong work ethics, mental toughness and overall positive thinking are the ones who do very well. - JigoroKano, on 05/31/2009, -0/+1List of sports Gguillorn doesn't consider sports:
Weight lifting, golf, bowling, almost every track and field sport, almost every gymnastic sport, most of the winter sports, ... - JigoroKano, on 05/31/2009, -0/+1Vascularity is how much your veins are poping out. Big muscles need lots of blood.
Dehydrating gives more detail to the muscles. I'm not sure if there is a specific word for that. -
