Are Protein Supplements Necessary to Grow Muscle? | Jerry Brainum
Спорт
On this week’s episode of the Escape Your Limits Podcast, our guest was the science editor of Muscle and Fitness magazine, an editor-at-large for Flex magazine, and a regular contributor to Ironman magazine for 28 years. Jerry Brainum's articles were the only articles read in bodybuilding magazines by 3-time Mr. Olympia champion, Frank Zane. He is the creator of Applied Metabolics, an in-depth newsletter about food supplements; exercise science; steroids, and much more.
Besides his writing, he has been a nutrition consultant for numerous elite, world-class athletes such as Floyd Mayweather Jr, Oscar de La Hoya, and Vassiliy Jirov. He was also a competitive bodybuilder himself and trained alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger at the original Gold’s gym in Venice, California in the 70s.
Today, he spills nothing but the truth about:
• The biggest mistakes most bodybuilders make
• The myths, truths, pros, and cons of steroids
• And how a lot of safe supplements can have deathly effects

This guy is the yoda of bodybuilding, tremendous knowledge and experience
Never knew about him and I’ve been training and competing since 1992. I’ve listened and studied all the experts. This gentleman is very educated and refreshingly honest 🙏❤️

Drink milk for what? If you are looking for protein you would need to drink a few gallons a day...secondly milk isn't for humans.

Protein powder doesnt do anything absolutely nothing . Its heated at high temperatures which destroys whatever milk protein it had and you end up with a platic tub of powder with no nutritional value . Its the biggest bodybuilding supplement scam and people are still falling for it 😒

Now this was very informative! ***checks all my containers of protein*****
for me there is a limit of stomach acid and digestive enzymes. this is the reason why i get too tired and hunger is coming too soon again. after taking betaine hcl + pepsin, the protein is getting broken down in amino acids better in my case and these amino acids then get absorbed and result in lowering hunger as they should.
wondeful information!!!!

So uhm... How do we know if the whey is pure? Just by buying ISO Whey? Is there a certain amino acid profile I should go for?

Protein is amino acids 😂
As a hardgainer I take amino acids pre workout and pre meals. My muscles really don’t get much bigger ever but their output does increase almost on a regular basis.
Designer Whey Protein was the best of the best back in the day.
Anyone got a quality brand of whey they can recommend please
As far as protein that can be taken in for a person for each meal has to vary... All people are different sizes and some just lay around while other bust ass 24/7...makes no sense that all adults can only digest 30 grams of protein per meal... bigger guys that workout and work harder need more protein to stay strong and fit....
Joe Weiders protein was incredibly tasty, and Mega mass 2000. That stuff was addictive !
I take the main 5 Amino acids, Creatine and a good multivitamin daily. I'm 66 and in excellent health; fit and loaded with energy. I've been a fan of vitamins my whole life, and I firmly believe in them.
Is liquid aminos good?
I wouldn’t agree that it’s “irrelevant” where you get your protein. Protein quality matters.
@bryceherring946

Very much agreed, where you get your protein from and the quality could be one of the most important factors, this is the problem when he and others simply lump everything into one category of Protein. High quality animal based protein, otherwise called meat, especially red meat is not the same thing as someone consuming Greek yogurt and hummus but still pointing out that both are "Protein", people who really want to focus on protein quality need to focus on high quality animal meat.

There is a limit of how much protein will be used to build muscle. Depending on carb intake some protein will be used for energy and the rest can be stored as fat. If it's been wasted off in the urine that can be problematic.

How can protein be stored as fat?? Protein and fat are too completely different molecules. That's like saying you can store oranges as apples.

@@walden6272And carbohydrate isn't a different molecule? Too much Carbohydrate can be stored as fat. The idea is that carbs as well as protein cause the production of insulin. However I am happy you challenged my comment because I've found that there are no studies to support my theory. It has been stated that excess protein can be stored as fat but that probably isn't true. If someone is totally inactive ingesting 5x their body weight then maybe but then again maybe not.

@@walden6272 I should research macros on a molecular level if that is what you mean. What I'm stuck on I guess is how the body responds to each. If you're not getting enough of either carbs or fat for energy the human body will use protein as an energy source which degrades it's use in protein synthesis.

@@Jeffthedude15 You're going off on the wrong topic there. The topic was can protein be converted to fat. And the answer is NO. No matter how much protein you consume, it will not convert to body fat (scientifically impossible). That is why when survivalists who can only eat rabbits, still continue to lose weight despite how much they eat. If your body only consume protein, you will still starve to death. When your body breaks down its own muscles protein, it just a sign of starvation, it doesn't really help the body.
isnt the purpose of cardio to burn bodyfat? so why take aminos if the body will just use them during cardio?

For heart health I think. To get low bodyfat is being good at your intake of food.
Excess protein can diminish kidney function.
If your having Kidney issues it’s best to avoid all that protein.
Hold on, "Some scientist along the way discovered whey, and whey goes way back", and then there's a Jon Jon Park look alike sitting in the background. You guys are having too much fun.
Taking supplemental protein regularly is expensive
Jerry eats scientific white papers for fun , he knows every double blind study and trial ever done as a hobby , he has forgotten more than most will ever know , amazing guy

If you take aminoasset before Træning you miss you straight
If you do a deep dive of molecular biology you will find that you can grow muscle with enough amino acids to sustain life. That’s not a huge amount of protein.
Excess will be stored as fat

Jerry was wrong about how many grams of protein to take per LB of body weight 🤦🏻♂️ I saw Vegan Gains post the research in 1 of his videos. It’s a HALF gram of protein per lb of body weight. Steroid body builders say to take 1 gram of protein per lb of body weight. You’re welcome
