Parents wont let me gorge protein

[AlekNovy]

yikes, that's a lot of nonsense for one post. first, you'll have to tell all these guys who've gained more than that in a year that they're ****-all liars.

second, your body doesn't convert protein calories into muscle calorie-equivalents the way you've described. the body uses whatever protein is available along with it's preferred energy sources (protein being only a last resort, in which case it's not available as raw material for the muscle itself) in order to create muscle & related tissues.

i don't have a dog in the the # of grams per day per lb/kg of bodyweight fight, but most people trying to build muscle can benefit from significantly more than 24 g of protein per day (available from 4 large eggs).

I've been into bodybuilding for 12 years now. The first 6-7 years I bought into all that fitness media brainwashing too.

There only 2 ways to gain more than 10 pounds of muscle per year:

1) On steroids
2) If it's your very first year. It's not uncommon if you've never exercised in your life to gain up to 20 pounds of LBM in your first year. Heck, some super skinny guys can eve get to 30. But it's mostly not muscle.


There's a ton of lies and deception in the bodybuilding world. Most of it about steroids. Protein has for years been used to sell a bunch of crappy whey to teenagers while showing them pics of steroid-heads.

If you want to find out the truth about non-AAS bodybuilding, do a google search for polygraph & urine TESTED-natural-competitions.

Once you do that, I want you to look at the pics of the heaviest competitors.

You will be surprised. You might even want to give up weight lifting once you find out the truth on what the natural limit is.
