The thread by Creation about raw milk got me thinking about my earlier years and my dad and grandpa and their diet and physical labor.
There is a reason why my grandpa and dad grew up drinking tons of raw milk and eating tons of bacon, ham, fried eggs and fried chicken and cooked all veggies in fatback and such and never had a problem with heart disease.
They worked their asses off 6 days a week on the farm! My grandpa lived into his 80's and was still working outside daily when he passed away. I could never try to eat a diet like his b/c I don't perform the type of physical labor he did.
Even in the middle of my weight training days when I was my strongest, my grandpa could still go toe to toe with me lifting on the farm and he was in his late 60's!!!!
I often wonder if a professional bodybuilder had sponsorship and enough money to support him/herself and could dedicate their life only to bodybuilding . . . I wonder how they would do if they ate like my grandpa and others that lived off their land/farm. If you went to the gym and trained 2-3 times a day, compound movements that used heavy weights and required a large cardio demand such as squats, deadlifts, pull ups, push presses, dragging a weighted sled and ect . . . and ate those types of food . . . tons of protein and fat from animal sources and carbs from milk, veggies, homemade biscuits and grits and honey . . . I wonder if you could even overtrain on a diet like that.
Add in just some Test/gh. I really wonder.
10 hours of hard physical labor for 6 days a week, eating like that, and my grandpa and dad probably stayed around 8-10% bodyfat their entire lives without even thinking about it. No blood pressure issues, healthy entire life and strong as a bull!
Just makes me wonder.
