Learn How To Increase Your Protein Intake For Bodybuilding Results And Fast Muscle Gains!
Nutrition can be a complex thing. You can bog down in a mass of technical detail. This isn’t necessary. I’ll keep it as simple as possible so you can actually apply the principles to your training.
The two basic essentials for building muscle are exercise and diet. Each of them represents approximately half the tools you need to transform yourself into a Hercules. You can get some results with either of them. You can develop a little muscle with exercise alone, and you can even develop a little muscle with diet alone, but this half-way application only restricts your eventual progress.
Diet and exercise used together, as they’re supposed to be, will positively double your gains. They’re the combination that will blast you ahead to the kind of strength and development you want.
If you are following the program in my “Huge Gains Fast Mini-Course,” you’re already exercising correctly, so we’ll confine ourselves to diet in this blog post. The diet we’ll be talking about is a protein enriched diet for building muscle fast.
There’s been a lot of talk from the medical authorities on the value of the protein diet, but, for the average bodybuilder, there’s two main difficulties with their advice. First of all is the fact that the advice is aimed generally at people who never lift anything heavier than a tuna sandwich and couldn’t care less about building muscle.
The amount of protein usually recommended by nutritionists is too low to force big muscle gains. Most of the diets are based on about one-half gram of protein per pound of body weight per day. There’s nothing wrong with this amount. It’ll build brimming health, and you might even end up looking like David Beckham. But you’ve got to consume a lot more protein than that if you want to end up looking more like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
If you want 19” arms and all that goes with them, then remember this – a high protein, muscle building diet for weight trainees should contain about one and one-half to two grams of first class protein per pound of body weight per day.
The second major difficulty with most diet advice is that it’s too complicated. If you tried to calculate the exact amount of protein in everything you ate, you’d be ready for the laughing academy in about two weeks.
The practical way is to average out the protein content in the main sources of first class protein only. Bring these to round numbers, and you can remember it with no trouble at all. Get your daily requirements from these sources. Then if you pick up a few more grams in the rest of the stuff you eat, figure it as a bonus and don’t worry about it.
It should be obvious by now to any reader of the Huge Gains Fast Blog that protein – lots of it – is the one essential ingredient for building big muscles. There’s no way out of it. If you wrap yourself around a daily abundance of good protein you’ll build muscle. If you don’t, you won’t. It’s as simple as that.
An abundance of protein by bodybuilding standards bears absolutely no resemblance to its parallel in medical circles. The amount of protein recommended by the medical profession for the average man won’t build big muscles. It’ll keep you in good health but you won’t grow 19” arms on it.
Remember this for now – and don’t forget it – an abundance of protein is an absolute essential if you want to build muscle fast. There’s lots of protein supplements on the market. Most stores are jammed with them. Some of the supplements are better than others. Most of them aren’t worth the bags they’re packed in and they’re all too expensive.
You don’t need to kick your grandmother out to work just to buy protein supplements. You can get a good, moderately priced protein supplement online and mix it with ingredients found in any supermarket to make a muscle building drink more effective than the highly huckstered junk at ten times the price.
I’m not selling any protein supplements here, so I can be honest with you. If you’re just interested in maintaining good health, then quite frankly you’ve wasted your time reading this far. But if you’re interested in building up to your maximum size and strength as fast as humanly possible, then this could solve your bodybuilding problems.
