I do a lot of bodyweight strength, but true for big muscles I would have to cut a lot of my muscular endurance trainings. Thats is why more protein does not do anything for me, it makes me more sluggish and my regeneration worsens so I can't train that hard and often. To set things into perspective, Patrik Baboumian, a vegan Strongmen, supplements 200g protein, and Phil Heat consumes 400g protein. The majority does not train that hard and there are examples that you can build big muscles with only 0.5g protein/kg bodyweight if you are disciplined enough, like Dr. Amen-Ra:

What the majority lacks is not protein but RHT, that is really hard training and I'm sure you agree with me on that :)
I'm all for supplementing with protein, for me it is in small doses of ~30g a day with Soy protein isolate, including fermented BCAA's and different AA's because of the benefits of a low caloric footprint and I know this isn't for everyone as I don't believe that one formula fits all people.
I also use turmeric, albeit at a different time, and this protein powder sounds great and having been on a raw diet for half a year and knowing the benefits this is a great protein powder, I might even try to ditch the soy protein and go full raw intermittent caloric restricted fasting, you just inspired me with this protein powder :)
Hallo there. My father was pentathlon champion at the last Empire games in 52. Photos of that time will show he had a sufficiency of muscles. 54" expanded chest, 19" waist, 15" biceps. He took nil additives, but worked out on the rings and in the swimming pool. His diet was eggs, meat and potatoes with a great deal of fish. And he carried a caber up and down a heartbreak hill. For this reason, among others, I don't work out particularly hard, nor worry too much about additives, but just stick to a balanced diet and regular workout. I am not 'ripped' but when younger did sufficient lifting and heavy work to be considered extremely fit. The balance, carbs to protein, is wholly dependent upon your use of your 'ripped-ness'. If walking a catwalk and posing for camera it is wholly different than debusing trucks and helicopters in motion, and slugging through rainforest with 70lbs on your back. Or even working, lifting and rings in games, while staying fast enough for the boxing ring. 😇
By additives, I don't mean food chemicals, but supplements. His supplements were, ''Another fish please dear.''
Keep on keeping on. 😇
My grandfather was vice national champion in weight lifting and he used to drink a big bowl of clarified butter my father told me. He was very ripped, I suppose it was some kind of ketogenic diet back in those days.
Well dad was always telling stories of the diet of the 30's in which butter and other spreads were in short supply or Home-Made, and he basically only had varieties of lard dripping. But as to these new words like ketogenic, they were coined by rich people with abundant choices. I'm pretty sure that although dad became a senior master at a comprehensive school, he would never have heard or used such a word. I remember saying kinesic and he told me off, and said to say body-language, and to keep new words for university papers. 😆
Sadly I never spoke to my grandfather, I don't even know If I ever met him because I was a toddler when visiting. I wonder how it was communicated back in those days, go easy on the khubz and figs and if it melts, indulge in it? :)
Well, my Dad very seldom spoke, unless teaching. Every thing he had to say always had a point or info necessary to the situation. He never spoke of the war unless praising one of his acquaintance, and always spoke quietly in a manner that made everyone be quiet to listen. Figs, dates, dried apricots and sultanas were his favourite foods when fresh fruit wasn't readily available, but then he served in the boats on North Atlantic and Mediterranean convoys. 😊
