I am kind of suprised that B Fold and the Polish Hammer 77 haven't posted here. . .they know a lot bout big eating!! Maybe everyone already knows their philosophy about training and eating.

Zatsiorsky, off of experience with Russian power athletes, recomends a minimum of 2g/kg and says up to 3g/kg (~1.5g/lb) in stress cycles; also said that "it is important to note that the actual requirements are not for protein but rather for selected amino acids."



Decades ago John Mccallum recomended 1.5g/lb - 2g/lb of protein when trying to gain. That's even less scientific than Zatsiorsky's but not neccessarily less valid.

Thats interesting! Which journal posted this information?

rev that's my problem with these studies, they do not have nearly enough information. Did they take people with similar genetic endowment, all with a couple years of training under their belts, and subject them to intense, productive training? And then compared one doing 2x BW to 1x BW? They don't mention any research, this is what they say:

"Maximum usable amount by adults 0.9"

This is in a book that's essentially the Atkins diet. Like they really concentrate on competitive bodybuilding or strength training.

page 74 out of Science and Practice of Strength Training. Not a journal though, so some prudes might disregard it.

Does gatorade have fructose?

I heard grape juice was good for pre/post workout but I think it has Fructose which is bad. Do all juices have fructose?

Title: PROTEIN POWER , By: Clark, Nancy, American Fitness, 08935238, Jul/Aug97, Vol. 15, Issue 4
Database: Health Source - Consumer Edition

Nancy Clark is on the high carb/low protein side of the house; honestly, you can find studies advocating both approaches and it's just a matter of figuring out what's best for you. I wouldn't put a ton of stock in Nancy Clark though.

For bulking, I like Mr. X's ratios of 45% pro/35% carb/25% fat. That's a helluva lot more protein than Nancy Clark advocates...

<-------currently eating General Tso's chicken, chicken lo mein, an eggroll, and a JUG of iced tea, lol

Oh man, most times I rather eat General Tso's chicken than have sex, no joke lol.

Damn, it's my fav food, but damn the carbs and fat in it.
