How are you using AI in your bodybuilding lifestyle?

[bbxtreme]

I haven’t posted a new topic in a bit and thought this would be a fun topic. If anyone is not using AI in bodybuilding they are far behind.

We talk a lot about peptides and new compounds on here. Up until AI we relied on places like PM or had to pay a coach to learn things or figure out why something was not working.

I personally constantly feed my ChatGPT studies and scenarios as I find them. That can be my bloodwork to why I’m feeling a certain way on a cycle. My ChatGPT has told me many times that I am way too “precise”. Haha I take that as a compliment. I feel like it has accelerated my learning curve by 5-10 years easily.

The only drawback and critique I still have with my AI is that it’s way too good at telling you what you “want” to hear and confirming your bias. In the same conversation you can talk it into why tren is a good idea and then come back two weeks later to be told why it’s a bad idea.

Asking the right questions and prompts is everything. I think if we keep that in mind it can continue to be a powerful tool. We just have to remember it can’t “think” as we do and treat it as the tool it is.

I would never trust AI to fully coach me or do my plan currently, but I do find it very helpful as a tool to help me navigate the plan better.

So how does everyone else use it in their bodybuilding day to day lifestyle and plans?

AI= Artificial intelligence. I thought you were talking about aromatase inhibitors at first...

I've noticed that when you ask it questions about , let's say peptides; it will give you information that's clearly from an anti-aging clinic that sells peptides, without realizing that it's a biased source. You can kind of tell when the source you're getting information from is hyperbolic to a degree.
The thing I love about Pro Muscle, is that you learn so much from the back and forth nature of the conversations here. Point/counterpoint. You also get real world experiences from different members, which is invaluable IMO. Not saying AI is worthless, but I generally consider it surface-level information.

That could be a good topic too considering I haven’t used or needed one in 6 months which means I likely never needed them to begin with.

im using @troponin 's AI program

i like it a lot

I think for most guys not competing his AI is more than enough. It’s very cool and can’t wait until it can assess pictures for check ins.

Are you using it for your full plan, cycle etc?

diet, drug choice, dosage, cardio program, etc. yeah i use it for a number of different things.

it's nice to basically have Justin Harris in my pocket to ask any question at any time.

it knows a lot about non-aas bodybuilding supplements as well. it's really pretty great

 

[pesty4077]

Not at all. Even AI doesn't know my body like I do.

I feel similarly to this. It may be great for a lot of people and data analysis but stuff we often discuss where I really learn something, there's just no studies or school of thought on. It's from people here that REALLY know their stuff and aggregate knowledge into ideas/theories/best guesses.

Now granted, I've been at this a while and have always kind of geeked out so for a lot of people it's probably a lot more useful. I do use it for some topics to research or data work. I think it's good. I just don't do a whole lot there though blood work is an idea for sure. I've used it for diet and questions - did great just the other day. I've also run some fun analysis on macros/costs for various nuts.

Similarly in my own "professional work" I'll use it for research or data compilation or areas I'm not familiar with. Areas that I am, meh - I'd rather look think for myself and use other top professional opinions that I have access to and can blend together into my own. I've never found it to really tell me anything revolutionary that I didn't know or learned in my areas of knowledge. I did have an opportunity to ask the head of AI/Tech policy in a major Asian country about that. Basically, "When will AI truly show us things we don't know, rather than regurgitate/summarize/contrast/compile?" His answer was 8 years.

I use it to dig through research and search for patterns or perform thought experiments. it always has to cite research.
Sifting through my DNA has been great fun.

Always important to guard against bias, which ChatGPT has made slight easier for novices this past week with new personas.

I actually use it most for financial work, running monte carlo simulations, decumulation phases and other scenarios as I am a paranoid retiree who knows just enough to give himself second thoughts.
AI was my field of research before I left the corporate world in 2024 and one of my jobs was to teach our people how to use it effectively as well as devise and test use cases.

Very cool field to study with where things are at with it. What are some prompts guys should be feeding it when trying to get answers as to prevent against bias or incomplete scenarios.

I have learned it’s a lot like dealing with lawyers- they’re great at telling you what you want to hear, what you can do, but very often leave out the other side of what will happen on the other side, even when you ask.

One of the most basic things to start with is to give your prompt a role so it can assume those properties.
I used a variation of what's below (from memory) for financial research analysts exploring new technology or biomedical fields.

You are my research assistant in _________. Your field of expertise is ____ and you have 20 years experience. We have covered _____ in the the past and uncovered interesting novel findings.
Cite all literature in your findings and provide evidence for your rationalizations. Stay focused on the research at hand and do not seek to confirm my views, but rather challenge and test my ideas.
We are seeking sound insights that must withstand scientific rigour.

Not.

I’m so far behind I think I’m ahead.

Good topic though.

I wanted to hear the not’s. I fought AI for so long. My wife used it for almost a year before I finally gave in.

I still dislike it for all the same reasons I fought it so hard. But it’s a lot like GLP’s (which I fought too)- we can use them as a tool to sharpen us… or they can ruin the human race for those who are lazy.

Zero AI. Can't think of anything to ask it that i don't already have experience at.

 

[KyleSmith1985]

I use AI a lot but for bodybuilding not much. I'll ask it pharmacokinetics questions which has been helpful or questions on blood work.

One gym I got to has a lot of old school machines that ive never seen or used before. I took a picture of some of them and asked chatGPT "What machine is this?" It was confidently very wrong.

Extremely good podcast on Joe Rogan’s show with NVIDIA CEO and founder Jensen Huang. It’s a long one too, and he covers everything from the inception to the present. Very very interesting. (And Joe Rogan keeps his mouth shut for most of the time which is another reason to listen to it.)

I started a cut last March. I updated it daily and promoted to act as a high level prep coach, amongst other prompts. I uploaded all prior blood work and continued to do so. I’d check in daily with photos of training log for the day, daily weight, macros, steps. I’d include photos once or twice a week. It woild give adjustments or recommendations. I used it more to bounce ideas off of, look at trends over time, etc.

It got really good at giving physique breakdowns, I felt.

 

[Performance Based]

I use ChatGPT quite heavily. I have a folder just for performance, have cycles, past injuries, KPIs as far as output, data sets from blood work, compounds ran how I felt etc.

I actually go in now and put in the dates of events I want to do for the year and it auto populates my programming, cycles, etc for every week.

Have multiple sets of advanced programming that I have fed it data points over the years, it changes things up as I need and spits me out fresh training literally daily.
