Eat for what you want to be, not what you are. This guy will gain lbs every week and will quickly be able to focus on 300g. You have to set a goal for the body that you want, not eat for the body that you have.
Just stating what worked for me. And it worked very well. I always set my goal ----> cals/protein for what I want to be, not what I am. -

Likely, yes. I use this routine with every client that I train and it works for them also. I know where you are coming from, but I would rather have these guys set their goals higher than lower. Mainly because they will often not quite hit them, but if they were aiming for 300 (in this case) they will fall short at 250 instead of 150.

It's still overkill and a waste of money. Even 200 grams of protein a day for a 132lb person is more than needed. 1 to 1 and 1/2 grams per lb of bodyweight is sufficient. I've even made consistent gains on as low as 0.75
Remember its a rule of thumb NOT a fact. Maintaining a positive nitrogen balance can be acheived without a plethora of protein. A majority of the guys I've competed with do not jack there protein intake up that high for even pre-contest.
Conversely, it can't hurt you (unless you have kidney problems) eating that much protein. It's just a case of diminishing returns.
The people who advocate eating this much protein usually work for a sports nutrition company that pushes protein to increase repeat business. The science just isn't there to back it up plain & simple.
What it will do is cause you to stay on the toilet longer... - 05-29-2008, 02:09 PM
Correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't excess protein just turn to fat. I have a feeling i'm soon to be bashed on that but that's why i was told in a pt class i took. I'm eating just over 1.25 grams per pound and making solid gains.

touche. Come to think of it my teacher was really just against eating a lot of protein actually said this as sarcasm, "oh yeah athletes need more protein to build more muscle" hinting we dont need more protein than anybody else to build muscle and constantly bashing on buddies in my class that take in a lot of protein.
What's the deal with fat grams. I hear it's 8 calories per gram then 9 calories per gram. What's the deal, it was originally 9 calories per gram corrrect? - 05-29-2008, 04:12 PM

Exactly, its a rule of thumb. And something that I have used with great success, along with every single client that is trying to gain muscle mass---they all have success using this method.
Don't get so anal. If what your using works for you...GREAT. I am more than happy for ya bud. But this is what works for me and tons of other guys that I train so I am giving my opinion. - 05-29-2008, 10:37 PM
There's nothing anal about it. I was only regurgitating facts. I'm certified in diet and nutritional sciences so I'm not just talking out of my ass here. I was just trying to pass along some helpful information that might save you money and toilet paper. If you can get the job done with less and save money...why not? There is a threshold of how much protein a person's body can utilize. It's almost half of what you tout. I'm just sayin'...

Pre-exhaust method.
Do some flyes before flat bench. Everybody on chest day hurries to do flat bench first...but use this iso/compound combo and it might help a bit - 05-29-2008, 11:21 PM
I am a certified nutritionist also. I know the "book facts" just like you do. But there is also another story...real world effectiveness. I am just saying that from myself, and people I have worked with --- when I get them to up their protein up into the range I am talking about, 100% of the time the results are very noticeable.
There is a lot of info in the books that is bullsh!t. Just read some FDA stuff. I am taking nothing away from you or what you know. Just telling you what has proven itself time and time again for me and many others. - 05-30-2008, 01:00 AM
