It does open up a interesting question as to wether its a good idea to let them have the ability to get massive, so when they come out they are even more physically imposing. Poor joe public! Its obviously good for behaviour etc but i'm not sure.

Well, I certainly applaud anyone wanting to do a hundred pushups, but take it from this old gym rat, I've spent my entire adult life in the gym, and a program like this one can do more harm than good.

If you only train one part of your body (and that's all a single exercise like pushups is going to do for you), you're setting yourself up for injuries down the road. I've seen it a hundred times.

It's like putting a powerful engine in a stock Toyota Tercel. What will you accomplish? You'll blow out the drive train, the clutch, the transmission, etc., because those factory parts aren't designed to handle the power of an engine much more powerful than the factory installed engine.

Push-ups basically only train the chest muscles and to some extent, the triceps. What you really want to do is train your entire body, all the major muscle groups (chest, back, abdomen, legs, shoulders and arms) at the same time, over the course of a workout. And don't forget your cardiovascular work!

I'm proud of you guys wanting to do this. Three cheers! Falling in love with exercise, eating right, etc., is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. And you WILL fall in love with it if you can just force yourself to stick with it a year or two and experience the amazing progress you'll make.

But do it right, okay?

My advice, find a good gym, with qualified trainers who will design your programs for you (especially in the beginning, until you get the hang of it yourself) and guide you in your quest for physical fitness. Thirty to 45 minutes a day, three days a week, is all you'll ever need to do (I refuse to believe anyone is so busy that he or she cannot make time for that, especially considering how important it is).

And don't worry about being embarrassed or not being in shape the first time you walk into the gym. You have to start somewhere and almost every one of us were there ourselves at one time. So no one will say anything to you and very, very quickly you will progress way beyond that stage anyway.

Now get out there and do it! :-)

As a gym guy myself, I can completely confirm this.

If I see a fat person in McDonalds scarfing down a trayfull of Big Macs, I'm going to be a judgemental arsehole.

If I see a fat person on a treadmill at the gym, actually working up a sweat, I'm thinking "Good on ya, mate".

****, I break a sweat eating a Big Mac.

I bet i can eat 100 Big Macs

If you can't, don't feel badly about yourself. With my special training program, anyone can eat 100 big Macs in 7 weeks

Well, I certainly applaud anyone wanting to eat 100 big Macs, but take it from this old McDonald's rat, I've spent my entire adult life eating at McDonnald's, and a program like this one can do more harm than good.

If you only eat big Macs one part of your body (and that's all a single burger type like Big Mac is going to do for you), you're setting yourself up for injuries down the road. I've seen it a hundred times.

Big Macs basically only train the gut muscles and to some extent, the esophagus. What you really want to do is train your entire digestive system, all the major gut groups (esophagus, stomach, colon, liver, and kidneys) at the same time, over the course of a Big Mac meal. So, you will need to add large Big fries, and Large coke with it. Ask for the "Go Big" program.

I'm proud of you guys wanting to do this. Three big meals! Falling in love with eating big Macs, etc., is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. And you WILL fall in love with it if you can just force yourself to stick with it a year or two and experience the amazing progress you'll make.

But do it right, okay?

My advice, find any McDonnald near you, with qualified burger flippers who will design your burger for you (especially in the beginning, until you get the hang of it yourself) and guide you in your quest for physical fatness. Three to 5 burgers a day, three days a week, is all you'll ever need to do (I refuse to believe anyone is so busy that he or she cannot make time for that, especially considering how important it is).

And don't worry about being embarrassed or not being out of shape the first time you walk into McDonnalds. You have to start somewhere and almost every one of us were there ourselves at one time. So no one will say anything to you and very, very quickly you will progress way beyond that stage anyway.

Now get out there and get fat! :-)

Well, I certainly applaud anyone wanting to eat 100 treadmills, but take it from this old treadmills rat, I've spent my entire adult life eating treadmills, and a program like this one can do more harm than good.

If you only eat treadmills with one part of your body (and that's all a single exercise machine type like a treadmill is going to do for you), you're setting yourself up for injuries down the road. I've seen it a hundred times.

Eating treadmills basically only trains the gastric acids and to some extent, the jaw. What you really want to do is train all of your secretions, all the major fluids (testosterone, bile, and stomach acid) at the same time, over the course of eating an entire gym. So, you will need to add a step-machine and a stationary bike. Ask for the "Go Metal" program.

I'm proud of you guys wanting to do this. Big Treadmills! Falling in love with eating treadmills, etc., is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. And you WILL fall in love with it if you can just force yourself to stick with it a year or two and experience the amazing progress you'll make.

But do it right, okay?

My advice, find any gym near you, with qualified dentists who will design your metal teeth for you (especially in the beginning, until you get the hang of it yourself) and guide you in your quest for eating metal. Three to 5 treadmills a day, three days a week, is all you'll ever need to do (I refuse to believe anyone is so busy that he or she cannot make time for that, especially considering how important it is).

And don't worry about being embarrassed or not having chipped teeth the first time you walk into the gym. You have to start somewhere and almost every one of us were there ourselves at one time. So no one will say anything to you and very, very quickly you will progress way beyond that stage anyway.

Now get out there and bite! Hard! :-)

Derren Brown has annoyed me a lot in recent years, but he is very whimsical in the fact that he is merely an entertainer, and I really respect the fact that he doesn't do a 'Uri Geller' and pretend that what he does is 'real'... this interview is superb; maybe because of my respect for both Dawkins and love of physiology and life/mind hacking and myth busting; although the phrase, ignorance is bliss, rings supremely true.
