Protein Intake

[Yay-O]

During a cycle, how much protein should be consumed a day for proper grwoth and how much protein post cycle? I always hear u should have at least a gram of protein for each pound u weigh in at, but what about all the dudes in prison that get jacked on the shitty jail diet? Theres no way they're getting a gram of protein for each pound they weigh.

they also aren't on a cycle though...
1g should do you good, I'd only increase if I was adding insulin to the stack.

I eat 2 grams of protien per pound of body weight. That is my guideline, if I get more that is cool. But rarely do I not get 2 grams per lb of bw. I am 208 now at 7%bf.

the body only needs about .6 for maintenance purposes... I shoot for 1 to 1.5g per pound a day, on or off... When i go to 2 I feel fat and bloated and full, all the time, and honestly, in the end, i don't notice any more lbm gains when eating 2g per pound.... That's just me though...

YUM

1-2g of protein for optimal growth..

thier results are likely a combination of genetics and hard training and motivation (the second two a function of lack of other activities).. as well as the "benefits" of being big in prison (which may act as deterrent to some of the less pleasant activities)

2 grams for sure,,,, I think 1 should be a baseline for anyone lifting weights but 2 is more optimal. The gains when you eat 2 g per lb are almost anabolic in nature. It is crazy. You have to do it for a couple weeks before you start noticing it.
