Resumo
Bodybuilding is full of myths and practices that are contrary to the scientific literature, which can lead to health
problems. Adopting a scientifically designed approach is very important, as it may help bodybuilders to achieve
better results while preserving their health. However, I have some criticism regarding some practices adopted in
the referred article as ad libitum ingestion of sugar-free cordial and flavored tea and the performance of the
exercise in fasted state, as it seems to bring no benefit and have some potential problems. Some suggestion
are made in order to preserve FFM, like changing training split and exercise selection; increasing carbohydrate
ingestion and decreasing protein intake; changing the resistance training stimuli and reducing the volume of
aerobic exercises and increase its intensity.
