Are many people from boards subscribed to his YouTube channel?

What are people thought on his cycling info and vegan diet?

I really enjoy his vlogs a lot of information for newbies like myself and his cycling stats on starva are very impressive .

He doesn't like DC Rainmaker

Interesting at times, some good training insights. Not convinced his vegan diet affects his athletic performance either positively or negatively.

He has a lot of empty click bait content.

I imagine the PEDs he is taking are having a larger impact on his performances.

Not sure how he is able to reconcile the supposed healthiness offered by a vegan diet with taking drugs such as testosterone/epo.

I enjoyed one of his "fackin' lean!" rants once but I think I got to his "ten banana dinner" when I decided I'd had enough of his philosophy...

Was subscribed for a bit, but he got quite annoying pretty quick.

This is just a recent thing? For ages he was harping on about clean living and how he doesn't drink or take any sort of drugs. Now he has made videos about taking Testosterone

His views on PEDs are pretty clear (everyone does them and he accepts that). He also posted a video a few months back showing how easy it was to get testosterone and other PEDs by actually buying some. Now a few months later he's just gonna decide, out of the freakin bluue, to go on a course of test? I'm not buying it. I imagine he has been on all sorts of stuff for years.

Did he say get ride at a high level?

I think I saw the video you're referring to where he's saying loads of people are doing them, it didn't sound to me like he accepted that as ok, just accepted the fact. It also never sounded like he said he takes any himself. Can you show any link to any video or text of his that says he actually takes them? Why wouldn't you buy it anyway? His whole life at this point revolves around being healthy by the looks of things, making a living from his youtube channel and website, both dedicated to being healthy. There's plenty of vegan sports people who are great at what they do, why doubt this guy?

He was doing a 30 day trail of test on a lower dosage than the comparable contraceptive pill.
to see what benefits he noticed

He says at the elite level everybody is doping a small bit from prescribed medication

Zyzz

I really only watch because of his girlfriend.

JBokeh

I'd hate to walk into the bog after that guy has been in there :eek:

I used watch his videos but got sick of him,preaching his banana propaganda and talking about how "faaaakin' ripped" he is. Got to hand it to him though,if all he eats is just bananas he does fairly well.

jackstaff

My stomach be in bits with all that fruit and I'd be starving

StevieGriff

He's alright for a while but gets annoying and preachy after 3 or 4 videos. Plus him and his girlfriend piss in buckets instead of walking 10 feet to the bloody bathroom...and he can shove his bananas where the sun don't shine.

You probably wouldn't even know he'd used the bathroom if you went in after him!

I never got why there's so much negativity and fear towards people simply upping their fruit and veg intake. It's really that simple..

Harrybelafonte

Plenty of vegans and vegetarians here and at least one national chap is vegan and a few are vegetarian.

Ole Rodrigo

A diet of fruit and veg makes sense in a warm climate. The more people give out the more his brand grows. He makes money on his blog, looks like its enough to pay the bills while hes out riding his bike.

jackstaff

How does he receive payments and why?
He said his bird made 20k 1 month were is the revenue generated?

Looks like they are doing pretty well for themselves, if they are so into health and all they have to do to make their very comfortable living is a 10-20 minute video every few days (obviously they probably do a good bit more, but maybe not so much), what's not to believe that he can concentrate on training and achieve the results he gets?

Jim Stynes

his gf is amazing!

Scrappy600

Annoying preachy dying looking muppet.

Youtube. Basically everytime someone clicks on one of his videos, he gets a percentage for the little square ad beside the video or pre-roll/ads that roll through the videos.

I think he is great. I feel really good after eating fruit and veg. I stopped drinking Cow milk, replaced with Soy milk (acquired taste), and I've slowly been losing weight.
There's a reason cyclists carry Bananas and not Chicken Drumsticks.
There's no need to say the Vegan and Vegetarian is bad, someone doesn't want to eat animal corpses, drink another species milk even as an adult and/or eat chicken period, it's their choice.
I sure most people believe that St. Patrick got rid of the snakes outta Ireland, and eat meat because the same people that told you about St. Paddy and the snakes, told you to eat animal products.

I don't think anyone said it was bad. I just like the taste and smell of a well cooked steak or chop or rack of ribs or a lot of other meat.

jackstaff

Surely an auld fillet steak every now and then isn't going to harm things...
As well as eating your fruit and veg some aspects of vegan are good but solely sticking to it would be a struggle for me anyway

Vegetarian diet which includes eggs and dairy can easily work for an athlete.

Vegan diet without very careful supplementation, B12, iron, calcium etc is hard to recommend for any type of athlete.

Recommending a vegan diet as optimum is nonsense.

50k/month.... I call bullshit
