t-mag article claiming dan duchaine is the devil

Like his idea of introducing whey protein to the market?

David Jenkins was pretty much the guy that introduced it to the market and Dan was the mouthpiece for him.

Dan really never came up with very many ideas of his own (much of the steroid stuff attributed to him was the work of the elusive Jeff Feliciano) but he was very good at popularizing stuff for the masses. And he was not ashamed of letting the credit be given to him

He sure gets the credit for a lot of stuff. I was under the impression from others that he was more of an innovator than a showman. Is his recognition of the usefulness of whey, ephedra, usnic acid (among others) part of the 95%?


Even if they are the ideas of others they are rather genius and the weightlifting world has benefitted tremendously just the same, I would think. I didn't know him, but I would hate to think he got famous for what he didn't know.

I also heard he invented the recumbent bike.

Whey is DAvid Jenkins, ephedrine was first marketed to bodybuilders by Paul Delia, and usnic acid was given to him by some doctor he met in prison (a DNP guru guy)

He did not invent the recumbent bike, that is really silly. He did come up with a special design though or something.

At least Dan never purposely tried to take credit for stuff, however he often conveniently neglected to mention where he got his ideas. Its OK though, I don't think he ever really pissed anyone off in this regard
