Dave respect the honesty and truth you bring to the sport!
1) I am currently coming back from an 8 week layoff from training due to a surgery that had to be done and am a natural athlete. I have been wanting to try Keto but have never actually committed to the idea until I researched it more which I did during my 8 week break. I am currently around 250 at a heigh of 6 foot and around 20-25% body fat. How and when would you recommend I begin the switch to ketosis and will I still receive large benefits from doing so while being a natural athlete? Thanks in advance for any insight!

2) You being a close acquaintance to Evan Centopani for many years and writing your write up on the whole situation yesterday held much truth. It was nice to see someone stand up for someone that has so much good intention it is almost like it's make believe. Do you believe that Evan will keep competing for the next couple years or when he says "see what the future holds" do you believe a man with a family and a very health conscious perspective will see this as an opportunity to start to take a step back from the stage and focus more on his future with his Family and fans in mind?

Dave,

First this show smell like sweaty gym, let me ask a question and get out of here.

My Thyroid was removed due to cancer cells, how to gain muscles without it, and which diet works best without thyroid, Keto, High carb or anything else.

Thanks
Neal

^^ wtf

**gohome** · 03-25-2015, 02:30 PM

Dave,
What's your opinion on the recent outcry by Arnold about big guts or distended stomachs not being penalized by the judges? Do you agree the judging criteria should change with more stricter enforcement or do you think the current judging is appropriate for the modern era?

Also, how much blame do you cast on the coaches/gurus for allowing the distended stomachs to get out of hand? Isn't it ultimately their guidance that's leading to the problem?

Greetings Dave,

Sometimes I'll see a guy at the gym doing a lat-pulldown variation, whereby he brings the bar all the way down to his lap, ending with a sort of half tricep-pushdown. It looks like a complete butchery of form, but perhaps it's some long-lost magical exercise that develops the lats AND the triceps! Seriously though, I've seen this several times over the years, and I just can't fathom how even a beginner could do the exercise that way and think it's right. Am I supposed to help people when I see them doing exercises so comically wrong? Part of me wants to, because they don't know it's wrong, but I've always just let nature take it's course. What do you do in these situations?

**strainandgain** · 03-25-2015, 03:14 PM

Dave,

How do you think Chris Tuttle will fare at the NY Pro ?...he brings a different look to the 212 division, with a more streamlined midsection, and a bit taller than the average 212 competitor.

Do you think he has the potential to be a 'Cedric' of the smaller guys?

**Ironbrian82** · 03-25-2015, 03:17 PM

to dave im going to start using test enanthate 1500mg week, eq at 900mg week, tren 600mg week, deca 900mg week, t3 and E.C.A. for my estrogen 20mg tamoxifen upon waking, 25mg proviron late afternoon and 50mg clomid at night, as im waiting for my pharmaceutical adex 1mg to arrive in the next 4 weeks, will the anti estrogens I mentioned be good enough to stop any unwanted estrogenic side effects thanx

**PTB** · 03-25-2015, 03:33 PM

Dave,

I've read conflicting information saying if you have a nut allergy, it's OK to use an oil like peanut oil in cooking, because the allergen that is in the peanuts is not (or should not) be in the oil. Is this true and would you recommend a nut oil to one who's allergic to nuts - even your own Mac Nut Oil?

Thanks!

Dear Dave
1. Will you ever get a crocodilian?
2. Will species Nutrition be on the hunt for Evan.

**SidFar** · 03-25-2015, 03:40 PM

Also I'd expect this crap from Dave and Chris, but im extremely disappointed in you Sid and Johnny for producing this pure disgust, id rather have a look at Dave's Dads penis than to listen to this any longer.

**baby muscle** · 03-25-2015, 03:56 PM

Ugh ^^^

Anyway...

Hi Dave,
1) Which shows can we hope to see Species Athletes Akim Williams and Mikaela Soto compete in this season?

2) Will either or both of them get Q&A or dedicated threads in the forums?

Thanks!

**jp82088** · 03-25-2015, 04:39 PM

Hey Dave first I like to tell you your website show/sucks real ass.

Anyways I have a question.I always had a problem with Prone Acne breakouts from the back area of my body from Hormone usage (Testosterone/Dht derivates)what have you recommend for your clients in the past who have had this similar problem? Can it be from elevated Dht levels? Would Finasteride or a form of Antibiotics help me? Hope all is well Dave.
