Any more than a gram of protein per lb of LMB is a waste of calories that could be in the form of carbs which are more anabolic anyway. UNLESS you are dieting, then maybe 1.5g of protein per lb of LBM would help you.
Don't be delusional with your protein. Excessive protein lowers test levels, which hurts your gains and recovery even more than inadequate protein intake!
Utter garbage; BB is a rich man's sport because you need copious amounts of protein and calories if you want to maintain, and then build upon even, huge amounts of muscle, you need to eat BIG. I don't care if you are natural or not, 400g of high quality, whole food protein is the bare minimum for any top pro worth his salt, and even that is a pitiable amount. I would shoot for close to 600g of protein and 5000 calories a day. Carbs being more more anabolic than protein, the building blocks of the body and muscle? Ok, hahaha! Excessiuve protein lowers test levels?
These jokers all want to hear that you can build a championship-calibre physique on a low (in BB terms) food intake and no money, and if you folks keep on buying into this drivel, bullcrap is what will be the defining trait of your "physiques". Look at Mark Dugdale and how small he is in relation to Ronnie who chows down 4500-6500 cals a day; grab the latest copy of European Flex and check out Mark's appallingly low protein and total cal intakes, even in the offseason (no added bulk there on 325 g of protein daily!) , and sparse post-workout protein intake. Carbs and good fats have their supplementary places but protein must always be the cornerstone (50% at least) of the diet; you need all 3 components with protein being the main course, carbs coming second, then your good fats. Throw the friggin' Glutamine and BCAA supplements outta da window and get yourself some beef steak now, will you? You need to have good meal portion sizes, timing, organisation and good bacteria to digest all this chow too...BB is a tough sport! No wonder fellows like Alexxx can't grow when their daily diets won't suffice to feed me for a few hours , in the morning! As Lee Haney said, "you can't train like a horse, and eat like a bird!" Now, for all who will hed this message, monster gains lie in store.
