Beyond Training by Ben Greenfield
Post by Shafpocalypse Now »
Everything that's wrong with the fitness industry is distilled into this magnificent, fad filled book.
Kudos to Ben for shameless appropriating material from the likes of Ferriss, Asprey, Taubes, and Mercola.

We're still waiting on you to write the book that everyone wants/needs to read, but instead you read the books that should have never been written.

Who's more of a disreputable shyster, Mercola or Asprey?

Asprey just pimps his greasy coffee, right?
Mercola's actually dangerous.

Asprey pimps an awful lot of ludicrous notions but he will fade 'cause he barks up the wrong trees completely at almost every turn. Eventually that will get old.Bud Charniga's gaping asshole wrote:Asprey just pimps his greasy coffee, right?

Mercola is anti vaccine, so he kills babies.
He also denies HIV is responsible for AIDS.
Every Chiropractor loves him because their toolbox is so small they need terror tactics to create doubt in the minds of sheeple about the value of medicine and science.

Ben's a bright guy but his other books have been pretty trashy. This book has 43 of 43 reviews receiving 5 stars...which means he's learned how to market it better.

I read it. It's a regurgitation of everything that's been trendy and popular in the fitness industry the last 5 years or so.

The best was the first time Asprey was on the JRE and going on and on about misc. factors affecting his productivity and didn't once mention his prescription for and daily use of Modafinil.Ed Zachary wrote: When Rogan stops pimping your dumbshit and openly calls you on it you are definitely fucked.
Also I think Asprey is down to like 15-20min a month of training if I recall correctly.
