protein

[t-gunz]

hey guys
this might sound stuiped but can you still get big without taking protien shakes and eating like meat and other foods that contain protien?

[kyjelly]

well, protein being the building block for muscle, might be kinda hard lol.

You wont get muscle big, but fat big maybe.

You a vegetarian or something?

[t-gunz]

haha nah bro. i was just curious and everytime i ask a question i always get good results for this forum. what a good brand of protien?. i'm from australia so some of the stuff we don't get compared to USA

[kyjelly]

as far as protein shakes?

ON's 100% Gold Whey Standard and ON's ProComplex


I also use CytoGainer, I like it for bulking.

[t-gunz]

So you take 2-3 different protiens? what about when your on a cycle?

[kyjelly]

Well, I use CytoGainer as my PWO.

and ProComplex as my regular shake.

I never ran an actually cycle, excpet superdrol, but I just upped my cals. Added a cyctogainer in plus PWO. cytogainer is high in cals.

also, you can use whey powder to make stuff like protein pancakes and such.

Ok cool i never though of adding protien into other foods. thanks. yeah i just wanna find a good protien. cause people say this is better than that an so on so. i'm a bit confused cause i want to do everything right i got my gear and just waiting to make sure everythings in check

I did an all-whole foods cutter cycle once..worked well for me...even added some LBM in the process...its difficult to get all your protein intake in, but definitely possible if you are committed IMHO

[t-gunz]

Yeah it is alot. i heard that your kidenys can fail from too much protien?

[kyjelly]

Yeah it is alot. i heard that your kidenys can fail from too much protien?

Im not quite sure on that, but I drink 2 gals everyday.

Someone once told me that it could affect your liver, cuz thats were it breaks down and to take milk thistle on high protein diets, but Im not sure of that either.

[t-gunz]

Yeah i wasn't sure either. but you hear alot of things from people saying this and that and then your not sure what to belive.

[ect0m0rph]

Yeah man protein is the way to bigger muscles. As for type of protein I have used ON whey from allsports it has been awesome for me.

[gio86]

look man it is not nesesary to take shakes in order to grow. you can eat solid food all day and make the grams of protein you need just from solid foods. im talking egg whites,tuna,turkey,chicken,steak ect. you dont need a shake in order to grow. however shake make it easy for people to get the right amount of protein needed in a day. but just because you dont take a shake does not mean that you can have solid gain.
look at it this way. a lot of people for cuttin in comp. dont even touch a shake and still look good keep their muscles looking hard and pumped. on the other hand when your bulking adding this extrea cls coming from your shake and putting some good carbs in there like dextrose this can be a great opportunity to absorbe that fast protein from you shake.
pz.

[t-gunz]

thanks i'll try it that way by eating alot of foods with protien instead of the shakes

although protein supplements offer extra nutrients, whole foods (like meats, nuts, beans) provide phytochemicals that are essential for health.
