The Truth About How Much Protein You Need

[hurricane]

Anyone remember Myoplex? That shit was a fucking joke. Troy Aikman used to do a commercial for them. I tried it and actually lost weight and muscle because it was a meal replacement powder with 50 gms of protein per serving and I wasn't getting as many calories as I did when I just ate normal food and less protein.... So many scams and bullshit products in this industry.

LOL THE REASON U LOST WEIGHT .. U SAID IT RIGHT THERE .. I NEVER SEEN ANYONE TO ADVISE .. UP YOUR PROTEIN INTAKE , YET LOWER CALORIES..REMEMBER IT TAKES MORE CALORIES TO HOLD A POUND OF MUSCLE THEN A POUND OF FAT .. IFORGET THE EXACT NUMBERS MAYBE SOMEONE CAN CHIME IN ..BUT IF U DONT EAT ENOUGH CALORIES U WILL LOSE ALL KINDS OF WEIGHT .. FAT .. WATER AND MOST IMPORTANT MUSCLE ..NO MATTER WHAT THE CONTENT OF FOOD OR SHAKES OR WATEVER YOUR DIET IS

True, and I've been lifting for 30 years and have put on significant weight in the last 5 years and I know how I did it... For many years, I tried the super high protein diet and all it did was give me severe bloating and gas... Yes, you probably need extra protein when lifting weights and trying to build muscle, but not the ridiculously high amount that some so called experts recommend.

My idea of the physical development pie is as follows:

25% Training
25% Genetics
20% Diet
15% Lifestyle
10% Supplements/steroids
5%needto

Who agrees?

Fixed

tru bite i feel ya ..people opinions vary but when i get lotta protein i grow like a weed... when i started following this advice i was very happy ....and i think diet is higher then 20% but hey depends how truely bad the diet is ..

If diet is so important, how come there are a bunch of HUGE dudes in jail? They get to train 1-hr per day and sleep as much as they want. Their food is not the best quality and they don't even large portions. I highly doubt any of them is using Steroids.

Erm, in the UK they are using gear.

A Screw/prison guard got arrested last week for supply gear to prisoners.

nelson mentioned optimum nutrition.. I been taking it for about 6 months and its actually pretty good.. no bloat and been noticing definition but I would like to give the blast protein a try. just my 2 cc's

The same thing here in Norway, a couple of years ago we had some months there was almost impossible to get a hold of quality HGH. But, in prison one of my friends gained more than ever with, you guessed right... HGH.

Fun fact: Using and storing up to 3months supply is legal in Norway. On the other hand distribution, both selling, buying, export and import is illegal and will put you behind bars.

This.....

Even though they were introduced 20 years ago, I still believe BCAA's are one of the most significant advancements in drug free muscle growth. The problem is the cost. I truly believe if you took 300 grams of BCAA's a day, throughout the day, every day for 2 months, you'd experience near-steroidal growth. The problem is, it'll most likely give you a very upset stomach, plus, it'll cost about $200 a week. No thanks.

And then this???...

The use of BCAA's as an anabolic agent in my opinion is almost worthless. Years of research have proven that supplementing with BCAA produces no ergonomic benefits. And if you have ever tried BCAA you've most likely noticed the same.

Not to be a smartass, but what up with this?

Although i am curious about Super Plasma Serum. How does it taste alone? Is it worth the bother to use it 2x a day?

According to whom? The same people that say protein doesn't build muscle?

It all depends on the context. Nothing by itself is ergonomic, not even steroids. I have tried BCAA's in mega dosages and have noticed a difference. Like I said, you need to take A LOT. John Gimick took one dianbol a day and concluded it didn't do anything. Same thing here.

Super plasma by itself is bland. By itself wouldn't be great. Not horrible but not great. With the other ingredients in BIG BLAST it comes off quite tasty.
