Title: Bodybuilding 101 for Newbies
Post by: Arthurshall on February 20, 2008, 01:30:00 PM
I have a site (Arthur's Hall of Manliness) and as a reasonably big guy (6'0 290lbs and not too fat  :) ) I think it is important that younger guys can learn how to get into bodybuilding for the right reasons and how not to be a wanna-be. Here is an article I did for beginners I thought I would put it up here and see what you guys think.

Keep in mind, this article is for beginners. I have since written some more detailed articles on Bodybuilding. Thanks!

" I once stopped in the middle of a sexual encounter to have a protein shake. "
Translation: One time when I was beating off, I took a break and made a Myoplex, then finished jacking off to internet porn.
 ;D

The article seemed pretty accurate though.

Is that for real?

250 g. of protein for a beginner?

What if said beginner is 130 lbs, that is almost 2 x bdywt. Bit excessive, no?

Ha, Ha....I have probably stopped in the middle a pocket pool section for some protein!! Ha, Ha. Well, I did not consider a 130 lb person. Unless you are 12 years old that is pretty small. In that case, 200g protein would be fine I suppose.

hahahhaaa, another clown who thinks "bodybuilders" need 80,000 grams of protein a day to recover from their brutal 9 set chest workout and that insanely tough 60 foot walk to the car from the gym. ::)

250 grams of protein? ONLY if the guy is 130 lbs...and then, that would be in the presence of high carbs.   

most bb'rs will grow optimally at or around 400 grams... anything less than that and your missing out on growth that would have occured had you kept your blood stream fully saturated with amino's all day long.

Post by: Arthurshall on February 20, 2008, 02:33:20 PM
Ok..we agree man. Keep in mind that this article was for beginners. I personally eat about 450g but I am 290 lbs. I think 1.5-2g per lb of bodyweight is optimum. For a beginner who has never eaten 150g in a day..250 will be a jump. I figure most beginners are 150-200 so I thought that was an ok number.

Candidate, I'm eating about 240gr protein a day ,doing just fine ,and believe me ,I tried high protein diet (300gr  to 400 gr),it didn't make any difference.
Title: Re: Bodybuilding 101 for Newbies
Post by: Arthurshall on February 20, 2008, 02:42:30 PM
There are people who will not tolerate much over 250g of protein. Just like everything else in bodybuilding, genetics play a big role.

yeah, okay, i see what your saying. but even a beginner needs at least 400 t0 grow optimally. and think about it...if you tell somebody thats new to bodybuilding to eat 250 grams...they are probably only going to eat 150, maybe 200..if that.  

200 grams would be good for a sedentary person who doesnt train....                  people think that the only time protein synthesis occurs is when you train a muscle. not true....   protein synthesis is occuring all day long on every tissue in the body.   we are a completely new human being every month or so. but only with the proper protien intake.

there is truth in teh fact that the body can only digest and absorb so much protein at one time. and if you are not chewing you rptoein or taking too big of bites, this will also cause for less protein to actualy getinto the bloodstream.  eating vegetables or carbs o fats first in a meal will also hinder the digestion of protein...     

when i say 400 grams of protein, i dont mean 100 grams in four meals. i mean 50 grams in 8 meals. ideally..as many meals as possible. eating the protein first, chewing completely, and cooking it properly.

I personally don't care for high protein diets. I generally take in less then 200grams a day & feel just fine. I actually feel better then when I was taking in 300-400grams a day.

Exactly.  I've tried both ways and stick at around 250-300 a day for protein.  I've went as high as 450 and felt like shit.  There is no magic protein number, you have to find what works for you but the guys suggestions aren't that far off.

Post by: Arthurshall on February 20, 2008, 03:00:07 PM
Like I said...I think 400g for someone who is just starting will cause them to be overfed and bloated. For an intermediate..400g is great. I grow pretty well at 375-500g. I have tried 600g before but I felt like crap the whole time. Or..that could have the A-50! Ha, Ha.

There is no reason a beginner can't work out 6 days a week. If I wanted to write the intro to "Men's Health 101" I would have said "Eat soy, go for a run and go get a manicure". 250g of protein is not crazy for a beginner at all. I was eating 400g+ protein six months after I started training.

Agreed, I thought it was excessive because I did start at 14 yrs old and 150 lbs.

Shit, I was using the plastic weight set and rickety bench from K Mart way back then.

So when I think of a true beginner, that is what I was refering to. ok, lets hope no one was 130 lbs when they started but no way a young kid is going to get 250 g. protein when they first get in the game.

Welcome to getbig  ;D

By the way, is the following excert true, or fiction? If true, sorry bro, as a "newbie" I was compelled to get as much pussy as possible. Don't take away some kids dream!!

I once stopped in the middle of a sexual encounter to have a protein shake. Needless to say, that night was over and so was the any chance of ever getting action from her again!! This may seem excessive, and it is, but it typifies the level of discipline it takes to get big.
