Can this work?

dutchpower Posts: 45 Joined: 2002/03/26	2002/07/21, 09:21 AM I have bought a supplement called protein 95. According to the bottle I should take 4 portions of 25 gram a day. I only use 2 portions a week, on my biceps training day (those are the only muscles I have trouble pumping without supplements). Can this be enough to work?

Real food are always the better choice. So it all depends how much protein you need. -------------- If you can squat heavy and have solid sh*ts, what more can you ask for in life?

Generally most feel you should at least try and eat at a 1 to 1 ratio. If you REALLY want to pack it on try and hit a 2 grams protein per pound of body weight. I have stuck with the later and since April have gained 20 lbs of mostly lean mass. Of course I eat a TON too. -------------- Ischjli "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." -- T. S. Elliot

ischjli Posts: 408 Joined: 2002/03/13	2002/07/22, 10:48 AM Yeah I have read you profile a few times Sempai. How are you progressing? I would eat a ton of protein, and few carbs and fat in about 6 meals a dayt, were I you. But, as long as you've been around I am sure you are doing great. -------------- Ischjli "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." -- T. S. Elliot

I am finding it hard to increase protein and keep the carbs and fat down, without using supliments that is. I wanted to keep it as natural as possible. I may have to break down and try the protein shakes. -------------- Never be afraid to try something new. Remember the ark was built by amateurs, The Titanic was built by professionals.
