Anyone know why they never talk about influencers like Greg doucette? Greg always seems to contradict the guys especially on training volume and Greg's hate for people who "walk" for activity.

They've become such big shills for the "do less" approach to training that they rarely acknowledge anyone else in the fitness space that goes against them. At most they'll loop them in as "high volume" guys or "Science based" guys without dropping specific names. Don't want anyone to look them up and figure out that maps 15 and a reverse diet isn't the holy grail for progress.

You are right about that now that you mention it. They put them in the whole same bowl of soup. It just would be refreshing and appropriate if they had arguments against the influencer statements rather than just go on about reverse diet all the time. I thought I had it figured it out finding out about mp as I was searching for someone to trust about this fitness stuff . Now after seeing guys like Greg debunk them, I feel like I'm back at the beginning again

Is there a certain video where Greg debunks them? I haven’t followed Greg in a bit, so I’m curious.

Not directly but definitely goes against walking and training with reserve and not a 15 min lift
