Very disappointed with McGregor's FAST program.

[Tentacle]

Its 2020 anybody that has google and isn't lazy can figure out how to do it with ease.

Anybody that pay's $100 per month is just looking for a shortcut that doesn't exist, you get out what you put in, This has never changed and never will, Getting in shape and or or building muscle isn't at all complicated, People only over complicate it to sell programs and meal plan's etc. The only people that will benefit from paying somebody to do all this is professional athletes looking for that extra 5% edge at the elite level.

The hardest thing about getting in shape is having the desire and discipline to do so. If you have that you will find a way and if you don't you will find an excuse.

The Fitness industry irritates me too. The Industry overly complicate things to grab money from people's lack of knowledge.

I have a couple friends just over 30 with no sports background who decided to start working out in order to lose weight and help with milder anxiety issues. Pretty ordinary people. They keep buying programs and going to expensive PTs. Nothing really sticks.

I thing one problem is that people keep trying these cool, drastic and complicated methods that promise a lot but just make people confused and emotionally drained.

People should start slow and work themselves into a healthier way of living. If you are, as my friends, somewhat overweight and insecure, maybe just start jogging 2K every Friday. Then start playing basketball with your church on Sundays. When you are ready maybe add two sessions of full body strength training per week. Maybe a spinning class? Just start slow and build up your ability to be consistent.

Lost it at expensive items part. This was well done.

I like the paying $100 a month to be told how to eat and train but Salmon and almonds are too expensive.

Steroids are a better bang for the buck than any supplement by a factor of 100

TS would have been better off with 4 monthly porn subscriptions.

Clearly you won’t get too bulky from lifting weights. It sounds like you have no clue as to what you’re doing.

get the book Body for Life by Bill Phillips. Go to a gym and do his circuit training workout , it will get you in shape.

Everything is a money grab. You can get in very good shape just by doing a lot of pull ups, push ups, dips and sit ups. You can run or jump rope for cardio . Just don’t be lazy

I'll admit that I dont know my way around a gym too much but I'm not looking to get huge and I figured that Conors fast program would be more cardio based and it would guide me through it. There have been a lot of added costs on top of the already expensive gold plan. If conor isnt atleast around once a month to check in via skype then wheres the value in that? The girl didnt add much in the way of motivating me and it almost seemed like she was reading off a script

I didn’t mean for that to sound negative about you, anyone who wants to get in shape is to be commended. I’m saying that any plan that charges 100/month is ridiculous. You can get in shape doing anything , even body weight exercises (all of which you can google).

sounds like they are just using Conor’s name to get people to pay.

 

[kkthx]

keep doing it OP, I'm sure that if you pay for it long enough the green leprechaun conor mcgregor will show up in your skype call and change your life forever with his magic tricks

No worries. I agree, I doubt that Conor is even involved with the program at other than random little video clips to promote it. I've read good things about GSPs rushfit DVD workout. I might try that after.

I decided to get the FAST GOLD program for about 100$ a month.
I really wanted (...) the 15 min Skype chat with Conor per week
My 2nd biggest problem is that the meal plans include expensive items like (...) avocados. Really? Were not all multi millionaires.

That was gold Jerry.
Thanks TS you made my day

 

[bigconan]

I figured I'd give it a go after seeing McGregors success in and outside the ring. I knew it might be a marketing gimmick but I don't like going to the gym to lift weights because I dont want to become too bulky.

Anyways, I decided to get the FAST GOLD program for about 100$ a month. I was hesitant to pay this much but I really wanted the meal plans and the 15 min Skype chat with Conor per week (for my own motivation and just to say hello to him).

My biggest problem with this whole thing is that the Skype chat isnt actually with Conor. It was some random late 20s woman. I was kind of surprised I thought maybe it was his assistant at first but as the convo went on I realized Conor wasnt even there. I didnt ask because I was a little embarrassed and I in hindsight I guess he doesmt have time for that.

My 2nd biggest problem is that the meal plans include expensive items like salmon, almonds, and avocados. Really? Were not all multi millionaires.

Another thing too is that I'm too sore from the workouts to do the program more than 3x a week. The program requires you go to a gym too which also wasnt advertised to me. You need access to a treadmill and weights. That's another added cost. When I signed up to Golds gym I told them I was doing the McGregot FAST program and asked for their advice. They said they never heard of the program? I thought forsure most of the staff had atleast tried it before.

Anyways, it's been 2 weeks and I can say I havent seen a single result. Seems like money grab. Dont try it.

dude, good healthy food is expensive...not all, but most....and of course you have to go to a gym. that should be a given. there's only so much you can do, without the necessary equipment....you seem extremely naive....why would people at golds gym know about the Mcgregor fast program? it's a bodybuilding gym...with normal people, bodybuilders. it's not an mma gym. while most people have heard of conor, very few know much about him or his program...and why would you need others advice on his program? shouldn't you be asking the people that make the program(conor's people), for advice.

any exercise program consists of a good diet, good weight training and good cardio...you don't need to spend 100 bucks per month for that....oh, and like I said, good food cost money. You can afford 100 bucks per month but can't afford Salmon? haha...makes no sense....

See if you can stream P90X or something like that. Something you can do in your home without a gym membership

 

[Baba Ghanoush]

Do people even try anymore

This is honestly one of the best troll jobs on sherdog in a long time in my opinion lmao.

 

[bigconan]

Lmao this has to be a troll job. "Don't want to become too bulky" you won't get too bulky if you don't take roids man. You're not going to lift weight for 6 months and look like Ronnie Coleman. Lift heavy for 5+ years and you still won't be too bulky unless you're fat or on roids.

you usually get the type of thinking from chicks....chicks think if they lift weights, they will get "all bulky" I used to laugh at girls that said that...that is such old way thinking...girls cannot get bulky without steroids...period....and guys are just as naive...they think they lift weights for a couple of months and they'll look like arnold...doesn't work that way.

 

[bigconan]

Damn avocados! I started selling drugs on the side just so I could afford salmon and avocados

he can afford $100 per month on this stupid program, but can't afford salmon? haha retarded.

 

[RinoRex]

lmfao u thought u would have 15 min skype chats with conor every week? LOL!!!!

This.

 

[ColombianFist]

Congratulations TS, you had to spend money in something we all know it was a money grab by Mcg.

Seriously, I am sorry you had to pay out your own pocket to find out how Mcg likes to get his cash out of deluded fans (no offense). I knew since the beginning the type of person mcg is and it pisses me off that he gets away with it. everyone here knows i am Mcg hater to my guts but people and his fans should realize that he's in MMA for the money and his fanbase must think twice in buying the things he promotes hard.

Expensive clothing line, cheap toilet cleaning branded as whiskey and the exercise scam program are just a way for him to get cash out of his fans by using his star power.

 

[RinoRex]

This has to be a troll thread.

Come on dude, you can stop trolling now. Sup with u anyway? Got some sort of a weird obsession with mma fighters? You've already said you joined the gym. If you're serious about fitness stuff - seek advice there.

 

[ColombianFist]

lmfao u thought u would have 15 min skype chats with conor every week? LOL!!!!

He's too busy drinking hes cheap toilet cleaner, think in khabib while tony robbins tells him he's the best and he'll beat khabib in his rematch.

stop trying other peoples progams....that's your first big problem...first thing you need to do, is figure out what your goals are....do you want to get bigger and more muscular? do you want to get leaner and lose weight? do you want to just get in better condition? once you figure out what your goals are, then you can find the best ways to get what you want.

 

[Baba Ghanoush]

This reminds me, whatever happened to the Legendary Sherdog Memes thread? I thought it was stickied.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Does it at least come with a free bottle of Proper No. Twelve?

It’s a staple of the McGregor FAST diet
