Apparently, the 2-3 hours thing is a myth by retailers to get people buying, so they say. Was a very strange read for such a big forum, considering what I imagined was more or less a fact.

And this is a quote from one of their articles. I can't see how going 6 hours without can be good? I'm sure the pro's wouldn't do it! Damn, I wouldn't do it unless I had no choice.

I know there are loads of theories etc...
The way i look at it is that EVERY person i know who has got big, or been succesful at bodybuilding or the pro's have used the every 2-3 hours rule.
Bodybuilding isn't about calories really, its about nutrients. i.e. 5000calories of chocolate is different to 5000 calories of chicken and rice.
I wont grow muscle eating 5000calories of chocolate.
I don't see why people want to challenge a proven method of building muscle thats all.
