"Extrapolating a reasonable argument until it morphs into absurdity"

I honestly wasn't doing attempting to do that, his argument was against tight shorts, and I think a weightlifting belt fits into the same category. I do admit the protein vs. carrot was a little out there (a very small hint of sarcasm,LOL) but a real argument if we are looking at "items that would enhance performance".

I think that you will always have people who are trying to push themselves or those they "coach" to higher levels of ability "by any means necessary", and unfortunately now and in the future technology will keep bringing us newer items that will enhance our performances. How we will go about determining what is or is not fair to all competitors is what I am probably most concerned about.
