Video Description
Layne Norton prides himself on being the “BS crusher.” But what happens when his own BS gets crushed? Maybe the predator is more prey than he realized. But this will NOT be your typical response video. Instead, I want to reflect on what lessons Layne Norton, inadvertently, taught me. I’d also like to highlight that I offered to Layne – publicly, on X - that I wouldn’t release this video if he was willing to engage with me in a thoughtful manner, rather than &h!t posting, blocking and running. I gave him 48 hours. He failed to step up. He came looking for this fight, only to have his own BS crushed. Of course, I am still very willing to bury the hatchet. However, that would require a show of humility from Layne. I wonder if that will happen. And, I also have a Zero Tolerance Policy for Bullies. For those who want to know why I released this video now, see this thread: https://x.com/nicknorwitz/status/1860384376321638436 Prior reaction video to Layne Norton: https://youtu.be/yiq67wpUhIs Chapters 0:00 – The Purpose of This Video 0:57 – History between myself and Layne Norton 2:28 – Layne does poor job covering Lean Mass Hyper-Responder data 5:22 – Layne quits on me 5:59 – Simon corrects Layne’s error on protein study 7:06 – What we learn from this case study 8:36 – What is a Functional Foe? 9:45 – Three Criteria for Social Media Fighting
