Everyone is an "expert"

It is funny to read what some people write on here, everyone is an expert at everything. Jay Cutler 4x Mr. Olympia has a vid out on YouTube where he says that his clients will argue about the best training methods and "everyone is an expert". Its so true lol. Who else agrees with me?

    Its just general advice that people give when asked. Then when someone disagrees with them or even has research or IDK a degree in that field, they are still more knowledgeable and give better advice. Everyone for the most part seems to be an expert at health and fitness, diets, bodybuilding, weigh training etc.

    I like what Wendler has to say on the subject.

    Ehh. Everyone has their own opinions, experiences, and beliefs. If something they post helps someone in a positive way, I don't think it matters that they are an expert or not.

    Agree, man. Some of these people will argue nuclear physics with a nuclear physicist.
    Most of what I've learned in the past 20 years about nuclear physics came from glocktalk, an enthusiast site for Austrian pistols. One of the participants there was a nuclear physicist who was quite willing to share his insights.

    Experts today are old news tomorrow. Want true expert advice? Think, "ancient history".. Before scientist and experts starting telling everyone that they are doing it wrong and what the 'right way' is. Better yet, look at cultures with the least obesity ratings and health problems who still eat like their ancestors ate. Look at the work they do and how often they work. Look at their quality of life. Those are the "experts". Example.. eating fish for health vs limiting it because of mercury and waste run off. The longest living cultures are still eating their fish!

    whos the roided up BB? Jay Cutler? Yes def on steroids, def knows his body, diet, nutrition, exercise etc better than anyone here thats for sure. No one takes steroids, sits on a couch, eats junk and gets in that kind of shape. His life was dedicated to his body and with that came levels of nutritional awareness most of us will never understand.

    There was also the poofed why aren't more people here talking about steroids thread.

    OP, the gen pop here isn't aiming for elite. But many users are well read and versed in the science around weight loss and exercise. While some are experts in these fields, many more have simply taken the time and interest in exploring the subject. This can lead to some lively debates. It's best to check your ego at the door. Keep your mind open to learning some new stuff.

    Don't forget the it's OK for girls to use gloves but not guys line.
