hey mate, i never said u shouldnt be lifting heavy or that heavy lifting does not have a direct devlopment of muscle growth. i simply said that bench, squat and deadlift numbers have no real reflection on how a person looks or how devloped their physique would be. So i am sorry u misread my posts on the matter.
Again i said in my posts in this thread that the iifym approach is a common sense approach to eating when it comes to the general public, i was simply looking for examples or evidence to show how BODYBUILDERS approach this and look at examples of bodybilders who have used this seeing as though that is my focus.
I have to somewhat disagree with u that it is not a new approach to dieting in bodybuilding circles, i think it goes agaisnt the grain and is a very new way of looking at things. As i stated though no it is not a new approach dor the general public, it should be common sense, but saying that, thats not what the op was about, it was about this approach from a bodybuilding/athlete point of view.
