From Bodybuilding for Men

[cswol]

In Arnold's encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding he calls for 1 gram to 1.5 grams per pound if you are training for growth

[jwb]

You ever heard of Bill Dobbins?

In Franco Columbu`s Book Bodybuilding Nutrition, he says the max amount should be 75 grams of Protein.

thats 2 chicken breasts per day of lean protein...

[Hulkotron]

This conflicts with cswol's advice so I'm not sure what to make of it.

Arnold would suck a dick if there was $10 in it for him.

 

[Disgusted]

   That's pretty old school hardcore definition diets. I've done them and it sucks.

[njflex]

zane has some similar plans too,did not seem like much food,he got into incredible condition,had chemical help,,a 'natural'i believe can not go far on this low protein amounts,,,

[che]

From Bodybuilding for Men

protein  = 85 g
carbs =80g
low fat

I would fucking disappear .

[Disgusted]

Funny how today's guys take twice as much protein as Arnold do three times the drugs but still are not half the size.

[quadzilla456]

I would believe this diet as much as Arnold's height or the grunting and yelling on stage advice. Remember Arnold was/is a BS artist. He has bragged many times about how he conned people. Remember the lady that was unhappy about the shoddy brick work and he convinced her it was the latest style?

80 grams of protein and 80 grams of carbs = 640 calories per day. Along with minimal fat intake this is less than 750 calories a day! You can burn 350 calories on the revolving stepper in 30 minutes alone.

These numbers are BS.

They are bigger. It's an illusion. Arnold had small joints making him appear huge. 220 lbs is not huge. Neither is 235 lbs (at his peak, cut).

Vince Gironda said this in his book: "Your intake of protein should be far smaller than the 1 Gram per pound of BW or more that is the prevailing view of most weightlifters."

I agree

[The True Adonis]

[Disgusted]

I have that book. Vince had many different diets. His definition diets varied  anywhere from 1/2 to 1 pound of beef per day and 6 to 12 whole eggs per day. He had a few different bulking type diets they relied a lot on eggs up to three dozen per day plus heavy cream, hardly low protein.
