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

    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.

    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.

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.
