How Much Protein to Gain Muscle

[bambi3614]

@ShayneWest

Yeah.. That program offered by the site

MusclesMaximizer.info

delivers an in-target program for the too

skinny, It emphasizes a total-body balanced

approach. I was one a skinny guy here and

the program transformed my body to a fitness

model champion in just a short weeks.

What I think he was trying to get at was. We seem to focus on eating loads of proteins while body building and forget we need plenty of water too.

[Corbent15]

Thats was a minute and thirty-two seconds of my life I cant get back.

[mysistersfister]

i have had a idea break into a butchers and nick a dead cow and eat the whole thing leave the fat bits



[clintlikespants]

wow that was flawed logic....not sure what the point of this video was

[iAMthePROTEINman]

how much protein to build muscle=

40% of your daily kcal intake for building (daily kcal intake for building muscle is daily kcal intake for maintaning plus 300-500kcal).

so if your daily kcal intake for building muscle is 3000kcal then use this formular= 3000 x 0.4 = 1200 (number of kcal coming from protein)

a quarter of this will be the number of grams you should be shooting for, formular= 1200 / 4 = 300grams

an easy way is to simply take 1 zero of the number of kcal you need for building.

@iAMthePROTEINman show me pictures of you, why are you giving advice on videos, you have no videos? LOL

[doubleds200]

@iAMthePROTEINman sounds like someone has been reading too much GNC literature recently...

[Cornampoo]

I shouldn't be watching this while fasted. XD

[racenuke]

thank you, i won't say "I gained *so and so* pounds of muscle!" now i'll say "I gained this much" :)

[TheSundayDelight]

this really fat kid tried telling me he gained 15 lbs of muscle after football.. im pretty sure it was just fat adding on to his gut. he wears a cut off all the time too. its really funny

[MkRoxx]

stupid retarded prick

[adrygarcia]

Puaj que asco!

[surfergirlsun]

Good idea for comparison but a "14oz T-Bone?" Why not just hack the meat of the big side and call it a half pound? The whole demo would be easier to vizualize without the bone and cartilage.

[jlebesis]

Very good video, however, just a note to anyone watching. I don't disagree with anything said here..well presented. But I hope people don't think, because it is said that muscle is mostly water, that protein utilisation isnt necessary for growth. Otherwise technically, we'd only need to drink copious amounts of water, workout a little..and we'd grow. Anyone who trains knows this wont happen :) Again, great vid..not a criticism, again, a note to those who are new to all this.

[drew2pac]

hey good vid dude, nice to finally see what a pound of muscle looks like. i thought it was much less, so thanks for this

[slopeskull]

I have read in order to build muscle you need 2 grams per kilogram of bodyweight and ive also read 2 grams per lb of bodyweight. i just do somewhere in the middle, ill do 250 to 300 grams a day and i weigh 205. and to get the best wide range of amino acids i do chicken, steak, tuna, protein shakes, eggs, turkey etc. that way im assuring i get my protein and i get it from various sources. does anybody else WHO LIFTS WEIGHTS can tell me if im doing it right?

[drew2pac]

@slopeskull hey, there is a bit of debate on this. there are so many variations. i was told 1.5 per kilo of bodyweight. but some say your body cannot absorb too much more and it can even cause liver problems.

now i am not a weight lifter (so sorry), my hobbie is mountaineering. so i keep a bit of fat and not too much muscle. but when i workout before a holiday, i find i get big when i have a 30 min nap after my workout. my trainer told me this, and it works. try it, just an idea

[kraM987654321]

@slopeskull Well from my understanding, the initial study was done using the metric system (as all studies sensibly seem to use), so it's 1.5grams per kilogram of body weight. 2 would be a LOT. I have recently started a new bulking plan using the metric system and I'm getting the same results as I did on the imperial. So I guess, 2g per pound of body weight = expensive shits.

-Peace

[rfcilia]

@kraM987654321 do you think ingesting 1.5g - 2g of protein per pound of body weight everyday is going to grow you more muscle cells? If that's the case why don't we just consume 1 pound of protein everyday and we should grow a pound of muscle everyday, right? Wrong? The muscle you have is the muscle you have, you can workout/train hard, progressively harder to make your muscles adapt to more work and grow larger and increase muscle cell volume but not number of actual muscle cells.

[kraM987654321]

@rfcilia No, I never said it would grow you new muscle cells because muscle cells get larger but do not multiply. I was just saying that the amount of protein that we should eat was based on the metric system not the imperial, so some people tend to eat much more protein than necessary.

You also asked a question in your last post which I, as someone who lifts weights, tried to answer. Then you reject my answer and start talking about muscle cells? I'm confused.

[Domin8r78]

A lot of stupid comments on this one. The guy is just trying to make a point about how much muscle it takes to make up a pound and how much water accounts for that weight. Nothing more.

[dunkmasta]

this guy is advertising creatine

[TheUtuber00]

Muscle growth has nothing to do with meat - otherwise everyone could just not workout, eat meat and be fit. But if we look around the country, its another story isnt it.

People who CHOOSE to workout can do so on any diet, some even no food or water (breatharian) raw food, fasting every other day, etc. The mind shapes the body, and depending on the mind, that body "needs" this food but its no the same for EVERYONE. Check my vids and pay attention enough you might see the new world coming :)

[talleyho12]

so how can i bulk up my body with more water?

[theboss212sexy]

nice video i like that advice

[captaindoomzy]

nice video too :)

[captaindoomzy]

If youre truly concerned about getting muscular Id say to take in about.ohhhh 2,000 grams of protein a day. and youre sure to get big muscles.....from carrying your fat ass around all day hahahahahahahah

[dsouzand]

cool demonstration, use a real cow next time :P

[Fightrec]

So how much protein would u recomend then lol im 5ft 10 and 75 kg ? anyone ???? thanks

[metallica2006]

lol.. when adding muscle.. forget about fucking protein and go to the gym and lift heavy weights, simple. everyone will get enough protein in a normal diet to build big muscles :)

[ThatCanadianGuy420]

@metallica2006

And that's why you have skinny little arms and chicken legs.

Spreading false information, along with the "lol" and smiley face, just makes you look moronic.

Have a wonderful day.

[katuray33]

i hate meat waaaaaaaa

[atammarco]

but how to build muscle without that water bulk??

[TheExPlOiTeDOne619]

When one grows muscle, more actin and myosin is stuffed in it along with water.

[jeffhudsonutube]

This was a great great video!!

[bradpilon]

A very small amount of growth is actual protein, the rest is water. This doesn't mean it's fake growth or anything like that, but rather simply that it's not all protein.

S0 to add water you have to do the same things that you've always needed to do to build muscle - hard work in a progressive manner.

[RogueKnight2007]

So when muscles grow, is it just the 'muscle' that increases or is it the water component too? How does one add water to their muscles?

[keytoothed]

Pretty good visual aid.
