Alex Diago: influencer/self-taught online coach

[Ranchhand]

This was like watching a car crash. I kept checking this thread like, "there's no way this guy is gonna keep going..." and he did.

I know, he surprised us all. He kept it entertaining, I hope he decides to stick around.

The reality is Morehouse is an immature, insecure skinny guy that is overcompensating with his actions and responses. Nobody here is going to get through to him, probably bullied his entire life and has been emboldened by the internet. My only hope is that he gets a good coach, puts in the effort, and achieves some level of success in this endeavor.

Good one. You must be a therapist

Welcome back.

Nah, we’ve just seen it all before. Guys who come on here and get defensive usually fit into one or more of a few categories: fat, stupid, skinny, insecure…but sometimes you get the rare combo of all of them.

No one here is malicious or mean without good intent. Hell, @Dens228 even ended that with wishing you success in your endeavors. Once you realize that the guys here know more than your guru, and have actually lived the life and put in the work you’ll see the light.

Well said and well intended. @Morehousemuscle, the guys on this board are as well informed as you get. They know the reality of the process and what it takes. They have no intent in taking someone for a ride, unlike the root intentions of these social media gurus.

 

[Ranchhand]

@Morehousemuscle, I think we're at the point now we can ask the question, are you just going to continue to defend yourself and your guru in this thread? Or are you going to drop the ego driven defensive attitude and start investigating this forum? It amazes me how certain people just don't get it and hold strong to the belief they've been lead to believe by others. All that anyone has to do is have an open mind and spend some time on this board to discover what a gold mine it is. There is no other board like this board on the internet, including the social media platforms of today, none can compare.

If you are being sarcastic, that won’t get you very far here.

Yeah that’s before I’ve even touched a weight or even eating right. Just watch bud. You’re all good at blabbing that’s about it tbh. This whole thread is nothing but bashing. Yeah I’m a small framed guy. Watch what I do with it. The more I read these threads the more I want to just stick with test bc yall fucked up. I see the commonality.

You're on a forum that's 24 years old where many IFBB pro bodybuilders have resided along with National, state, and local bodybuilders. The owner of this board is a retired IFBB pro! The reality is, someone with your stats 5'7" and 137lbs should have been given a meal plan and have someone look at your training. Saying you have a small frame is a weird excuse to use. Gear is supposed to be the icing on the cake when all the other ingredients are in place. Step back, breathe, and list your diet and training here. Let's see what some of our members come up with.

Are any of you in the community? How would you know what he coaches. He’s teaching people from his part mistakes and experience. If you’ve watched his videos he owns up to all his past mistakes and failures. The guys open as a book. The money isn’t shit to me. So let’s get past all that. We do regular labs we all communicate and help each other out. I’ve heard of Alex, but I’ve never heard of any of you.

You must not know bodybuilding then. We have top level BBs here, including several pros. Some of the best trainers in the world are on this forum, not to mention medical professionals and highly skilled nutrionists. Exactly who are you anyways??? Oh, an internet bragger. You make more money then anyone, blah, blah, blah. We also have multi millionaires on this site bud. You might want to get more educated before you open your mouth about this forum.

If his results were as great as his claims, there’d be no need for the claims. lol

What’s up everyone. Figured I’d finally make an account and document my first cycle journey. I’ve been lifting on and off since high school, but over the last year I’ve really locked in on consistency with training and nutrition. I’m 40 years old, 5’7”, currently sitting around 137 lbs at roughly 10-15% body fat. Naturally I’ve always been on the smaller side, but I’ve got a solid frame and good work ethic, so I’m ready to push things to the next level.

Lol - 137 5'7" @ 10-15% bodyfat (meaning 20%).

 

[gauge22-v2]

That’s the new age influencer… want to make money? Make videos talking about drugs and how you have “secrets”, and condone abusing. The sheep will follow and empty your out their pockets

Yup.

Then get yourself contest shredded for a single day. Take 6-12 months of pics/videos that you drip out to the public implying you are always in this condition.

 

[Yousef12O2]

4 compounds at 137 pounds is crazy. I understand his urge to get fast results but this is overkill. 500mgs of test for 6 months he should be lean at 190lbs if he eats and trains right.

 

[Yrrets]

some of his new content pushes minimal effective doses. not sure if he has changed his thinking or is still pushing multiple compounds for beginners

 

[metabz]

Out of nowhere, this Diago dipshit started showing up in my FB and YT feeds constantly despite me repeatedly blocking/hiding his channels. His content is nothing but midwit takes from somebody who has been reading BB'ing forums for six months.

With so much quality content out there now - especially from guys who are both former high-level competitors and have proven coaching track records of producing pro cards and putting amazing physiques on stage - I can't believe this guy has amassed any sizable following.

Yeah, this is happening to me as well and it's pissing me off. I've also been trying to figure out how to keep his YT channel, Diagofit, from popping up in my feeds. Damn AI algorithms, I think it's because he's associated with the fitness influencers and fitness industry. I didn't even visit his YT channel, but back when, in the beginning, I did quickly check out his IG profile just to see who this idiot was. If you figure out how to keep him out of your feed let me know.

Or maybe he should just stay natural and try actually lifting weights lol. It blows my mind how everyone just takes drugs from day one

 

[Yousef12O2]

I just looked him up on youtube lmao I know him I didn't know his name. I follow his content sometimes lol it's funny but not informative

 

[TheOtherOne55]

I feel like ive followed Alex on IG for awhiiile. So ive kinda watched his content evolve too.
His entiiiire thing used to be just critiquing idiots who post their WHOLE CYCLE on IG. So idiots would post their video and he would just take about IF that was a lot, IF that was a good transformation, etc. It wasn't much coachinggg push per se. It was reaction videos.

But thats fine. You dont neeed expertise to react. I think it gets muddy now that people have actually started HIRING THIS GUY to guide them. Thaaaat's the stretch. And weirdly coaching comes down to 1. do you have TONS of transformation photos of client and 2. WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE....are you a walking advertisement? And he has neither of those. He has never looked the part

Is there another type of person who posts on IG?
