You say it hasn't affected your lifting, but what about your muscles and tone? Basically aesthetically...

Strength undoubtedly has a material neurological component (Bruce Lee would be the paradigm example), although I bet it explains very little of the variation in strength across people, whereas muscle size does.
Anyway, until I can attract chicks with my neurological strength by walking around shirtless on the beach, I'll take aesthetics every time.

I'm always a skeptic on these types of videos. Maybe the guys completely legit but theres no real way to know. He seems to be begging for attention and trying to monetize this. Not that I wouldn't and all respect to him if hes legit, but I'm a bit skeptical of these types.
And on another note, the guys form is terrible hes gonna hurt his back if he doesn't straighten it out.

Genetic outlier. These guys are the exception, not the norm. Didn't watch the video, but he's probably eating pounds and pounds and pounds of fruit a day. I've read journals from other frugivores, and they usually report poor muscle tone, dark circles under their eyes, thin hair, dry skin, low immune system, etc. I couldn't handle all the sugar, I've done short term fruit exclusive diets before, they're expensive and my energy level was all fucked up, highs with fast crashes.

Fruitarian diet is probably going to destroy his pancreas ala Steve Jobs

Watch 30 bananas a day videos on youtube. He posts his labs and is totally transparent.
Fruit dont make you fat.
The dead lift guy is gonna slip a disk though. That is ego lifting. Poor form. Snap city.

Haha, I "used" to power lift. I plan on posting some videos this summer, especially with chin ups.
That gym closed down, and I started going to another one and they closed down also. Most gyms aren't cool with heavy dead lifts : (

I was thinking about this, but not fruit. That sounds like a recipe for disaster. My plan was to get protein and carbs from lentils and beans, then the rest vegetables, with occasional eatings of steak/seafood. I'm more interested in having the traditional male body type (Robert Mitchum, Don Draper), not fat, but not all buff, or do we all have to be buff to impress fatter women?

Lol. Must really be powering the bowels.
At least no constipation issues and high fiber.

Back in the day I used to hang out with quite a few "raw foodists". None of them were strict fruitarians due to sugar/diabetes issues. Actually most tried to moderate their fruit intake and increase greens and fat intake.
There are a couple of raw foodists and vegans who specifically work out hard and post impressive numbers just to disprove the notion that they are all skinny dudes who get sand kicked in their face. I think as long as they get a wide variety of plant matter (fruit only will be very difficult IMO) they can be as strong/jacked as any natural lifter.

Yeah, you need to moderate the fruit intake with high fiber greens and some fats (nuts and seeds at the least).
Otherwise you get percolating bowel symptoms. When I was working full time as a personal trainer, I would see a lot of nutjob yuppie ecowhacks go on all sorts of strange diets. Luckily, I aimed for smarter clients. This is a pic of something that happened to one of my coworkers's clients- vegetarian, "save the planet!" type:
PS He finished poorly in the race.
The lesson? Cook your food. Cooking has been around so long that we have evolved some adaptations to it. And we are omnivores too...not herbivores. You don't need to eat charred steaks all day...but raw peas and cranberries alone lead to bad results.
