How Much Protein Do I Need On Cycle?

[TheRide]

1.5-2g per lb of body weight, all gear increase protein synthesis

yup....

I wonder how the "Blood Type" issue effects protein synthesis. I'm not familiar with that diet, but many people I know swear by it.

Yeah I have only briefly looked at the Blood Type Diet. There may be something in it but it appeared to be too restrictive for the average Joe BBer.

That is a myth, it will absorb whatever the hell you put in it. The question is whether it will be used for the purposes that we want it used for.

How do u know this?

How do u know this?

Because it has been proven, over and over again. Your body will digest whatever macro-nutrients your put into your body. The argument is risk/reward with protein intake.

Hypothetically speaking, high protein intake is great for a variety of reasons. For bodybuilding purposes, it almost ensures that you will have a positive nitrogen balance. Further, gram for gram, protein is more thermogenic than any other macro nutrient in that it takes more energy to digest protein than it does carbs or fat.

Any two dollar trainer that states "your body can only absorb X amount of protein" should be kicked in the balls. This is ignorance on par with "steroids make your dick smaller" statement that is still being sprayed.

The facts are these:

1. Your body will digest almost everything you ingest.

2. Excess nitrogen will be excreted through the urine.

3. The ignorance of the general public is astounding.

So, knowing all of this, from a bodybuilding perspective the argument becomes:

Should I take in a level of protein that might put me in a positive nitrogen balance, or should I eat enough protein to ensure that I am in a positive nitrogen balance?

The worst thing that can happen is you excrete the excess nitrogen. Whoopy-doo. High protein intake can be correlated with increased liver and kidney values that are indicators of abnormal function, but "normal" does not necessarily mean pathological. Bodybuilders are not "normal" humans, and I don't know of one case where high protein intake caused renal failure, or cirrohis of the liver etc.

This is the information age people, lets get it right. If anyone has any scientific proof to the contrary bring it, but I have never seen it, and I have looked and looked.

1.5 is good.....4 grams/lb is bullshit your body wouldnt absorb it youd be shitting and farting it out like crazy

I fart all fucking day and growing like sweet sweet weed. I don't care who smells my asspipe, I'm on a quest to get huge. I take 5-6 40g protein a day. And a half a bottle of pepsi, spike that insulin baby

absolutely correct ! bodybuilders are NOT "normal " by any means . lol i would eat shit if it made me bigger

 

[ceo]

I would go with at least 2 grams/lb of bodyweight.

Well put & I agree. There was some shit info going around the traps that the body can only metabolise a certain amount of protein at any time. I think it was 50gms in a 2-3 hour period but I'm not sure. If you are geared up you require even more proteins than the natty BBer because you should be breaking down muscle at a faster rate. The last thing you want is for the body to swing into using proteins stored in muscle for energy. Also there are chems like clen that destroy proteins esp BCAAs so supplementation is very important.
