Not talking clothing, classes, etc. And also excluding cost of gym and drugs (if you use them). Mainly talking supplements and diet. However, this is getbig so respond anyway you like. Ignore the topic title if you want.
If you are actively working out and dieting to achieve/maintain a bodybuilder/fitness type physique, how much do you drop on supps and diet? When I say diet, I mean approx $$$ ofc and stuff that you probably wouldnt buy if your primary concern wasn't gainzzz.
-
spend cash on eggs and anavar.... everything else is a waste

Real
Krogers
Safeway
King Soopers
Ralphs
Etc
Bullshit
Alphalete
Ghost LifeStyle
Pump Chasers
MTS
Etc
Hope this helps

Go to store buy food price club eat breakfast then 2nd breakfast then lunch then dinner food is all you need .......

Buy extra meat eggs coffee. Forget everything else except perhaps a hydrolysed weigh.

Incorrect. Getting 'weigh" through shakes is the far superior option.

Most supps/vitamins I can give or take, but when it comes to food supplementation, don't get this parrot act that "real food" is better. Is it like deadlifts, where it's better because it just IS, regardless of evidence or critical thought?
Assuming your protein powder contains what it says on the package (which is overwhelmingly likely), it's less expensive per gram of protein than just about anything else, it's the absolute easiest way to get such a large amount of protein without other macronutrients that you may not want, it's easy to prepare, it's easy to consume (as opposed to "real food", which can become an offputting chore depending on your diet), etc.

250 to 300mg of test works 10 times better than any shitty supplement ever to exist and costs 6-8 quid a month.

and pot, obviously

Most people would consider rx test a drug, but is 250/mg a month a dose that would get and keep most guys in shape? No other supps or diet adjustments required?

My mistake I meant to say 250 to 300 a week, yes I’d choose this over every over supplement or combination of supplements. Its not going to put a great deal of muscle or strength on but will be fuller, feel better and more motivation , recover from training better ect
-
2 bottles sust a month and 100 a week on food so 500 a month give or take.

and pot, obviously
honestly
egg, anavar and edible marajuana is the best response yet

If you have your choice between a protein shake and a grilled chicken breasts, which would you choose?

If I had my choice of consuming 100g of protein daily (which is on the lower end for most guys trying to put on or maintain substantial muscle), would I rather do it by consuming that amount in chicken breasts daily or protein shakes? Bearing in mind ALL of the things I said in the post you quoted, in addition to the fact that meat generally tastes worse the better the macronutrient breakdown, I kinda feel like I already gave my answer. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean, but when you are eating for gains, eating becomes a chore. Protein shakes greatly alleviate that.

At least he actually referenced a monetary amount. Most people who have responded seemed to confuse "how much do you spend on supps" with "please list random items."

Okay, I may have not gotten your gist. I know or I understand someone needing 300 -500 grams a day that shakes are absolutely needed. But when I am trying to lose body fat I find drinking shakes don't take care of the hunger issues.. chicken breast or lean meat does. but yes, again if you are eating enormous amounts of protein shakes have to come into play

I am on a very high protein diet right now. 200-250 grams in shakes and then anything I want between 8-9pm. It doesn't even feel like a diet restriction because I know I will have a period of the day where I can eat whatever I'm craving. Most days I don't even choose the "worst" option. I'm mostly eating fish , and some days all vegetables. My main vices are desserts. I ALWAYS have a dessert. No sodas though.

Nobody needs to eat upwards of 300+ grams a day everyday of protein to gain muscle tissue.

Then why are so many people that you see training religiously in the gym not getting progressively larger as time goes on? This lack of muscle growth is mostly attributed to their poor diets. If you want your time in the gym to count you should increase your protein intake up to 2 g X body weight. So if you are 200lbs and are trying to climb to 220lbs you should be eating around 450 g of protein a day.

I'm not an expert but I do know lots of body builders eat more protein that I would

They’re pushing that as they know it nigh impossible to eat that much protein daily
And they the Numbnuts will by Fartpowder by the truckload.

That's idiotic. Of course protein consumption is almost as important as working out in regards to gaining muscle. By some standards, more important.

Your problem is you forget you have been relegated to the "Not really contributing anything but post counts" pile. It's not all your fault. Some people who don't know you are a turd, will respond to your posts giving you the benefit of the doubt before they learn you are a troll. This falsely gives you the feeling you can inject yourself into threads and end up getting your butt handed to you, or you go all Hannibal and destroy the adult conversation. So just as a reminder, since you seemed to have forgotten. Don't comment on my threads or my posts. You are beneath me.

How the hell do you eat for $10 a day?
meal #1
eggs, oatmeal (some chia seeds, quinoa, flax seed)
meal #2
shake + 1 tablespoon MCT oil
meal 3
1 sweet potato 6-8 ounce red meat
meal 4
shake + 1 tablespoon MCT oil
meal 5 chicken breast, avocado + bag of veggies
meal 6
eggs + bag of veggies
prolly $10-$12 a day right now for my diet. - then snacks are cheap fresh fruit. strawberries were .77 todays - good for 2 days of snacks
i eat super lean right now but in social settings it is a different story

They are not as relevant as is pushed through mags etc
It’s all a marketing ploy
You can’t force the muscles to grow by eating excessive amounts of protein
A good balanced diet with sufficient macros / micros / vits & mins plenty of water
If you could gain 10lbs of lean quality muscle in 1yr
that’s 160oz less than half an oz per day.
1oz = 28.34grams
That’s less than 14grams
So what’s the other 300/400/500 grams of protein doing
Just stressing your kidneys & being excreted
& Turning to fat.

Just wondering if you thought protein had a role in building muscle.
My original post was about real food vs shakes. Would you rather have your protein source in shakes or things like chicken breast and lean meat. I prefer the later. I don't like feeling hungry

Yes protein has a role - definitely
Only that role is wholly over exaggerated
Generally speaking chicken / beef / tuna
Though with working odd hours & travelling
I do have to use Quality Fartpowder Shakes :D
Same here not keen on the feeling hungry.

In your post that preceded this one, you agreed with someone that protein consumption was nearly irrelevant in putting on muscle. That's drastically different from there being an upper limit to how much you muscle you can gain from a protein rich diet. I'll leave it at that since you seemed to back off of that in later posts, but this equation is completely off-base. I'm not gonna pretend to be a biophysicist and put up a countercalculation, but the first thing you are ignoring is that the protein you consume maintains the muscle you already have. Secondly, our bodies are not perfectly efficient. Just as eating 200 pounds of food a year doesn't mean you gain 200 pounds, eating a certain number of grams of protein doesn't mean you gain that amount in muscle. Your body uses what you eat, and the way it uses it depends on your lifestyle.

Excuse me .
Is it.
I’m not backing off anything from what I said - Where ?
No that equation isn’t the Be All & End All of protein consumption
Just a very simple example of very roughly 14grams of protein add as muscle mass
Over the course of a year would equate to roughly 10lb of muscle gain.
Is there an upper or lower limit to protein consumption & muscular gains ?
I don’t know — Do You ??
I personally don’t believe there is any need for any one to eat hugely excessive
Amounts of protein - that being said likely a 300lb muscular man
Would likely need more than a 100lb muscular to maintain let alone gain
Muscle tissue.
You wish to eat huge amounts of protein then good for you...Enjoy.

The point is the basic concept of that equation is wrong. Even if you take it at face value, Your starting point wouldn't be 14 grams, it would be whatever your maintenance level was with an additional 14 grams. So the excess isn't everything beyond 14 grams, it's everything beyond your maintenance plus 14 grams. That is, if you choose to take that equation at face value.
You literally went from agreeing with someone who said "protein was irrelevant" to saying protein has a role but it is exaggerated and that you use shakes.
If you think a 300lb man likely needs more protein than a 100lb man to gain and maintain muscle, then you are saying there's a lower limit. And if you don't believe people need what you describe as hugely excessive amounts of protein, then you are saying that there's an upper limit.
I read your post half a dozen times and I'm honestly not sure what you are arguing about. You are saying that you think one thing and then using examples that prove the opposite. ???

Earlier in the thread, one poster posted this:

You quoted him and responded with this:

Maybe my reading comprehension skills really are terrible, but the only interpretation I can come up with for that is that you are agreeing that protein consumption is damn near irrelevant.
If you're saying that you meant something else or that you don't remember posting this, then fine. We're in agreement on that point at least, that protein is important. We would still have differing views on what excessive protein consumption is, though.

Keto can be super cheap depending on your food choices, but you can get 60 eggs for under $4 at Walmart, buy 80/20 ground beef, bagged spinach, avocados, and all natural peanut butter. You can get this for well under $100 a week.

Keto is actually why I don't think the upper limit for protein consumption is as low as a lot of others think it is. My current fad diet is not exactly keto, but it's kind of a mix of keto concepts and if concepts.

Some supplements and vitamins actually work and can help for increased energy, relieving pain and joint issues. Creatine also works and can make a noticable difference for a natural.

My wife and I spend about $250 a month on groceries. If we ate fully "healthy/boring" in the fitness sense that is purported it would be less then that. Dent and ding/wholesale stores are awesome.

if you feel like you have a vitamin deficiency or have joint pain or lack energy then sure take a supplement for it but that goes for the entire population not just gym goers. those types of supplements are not training specific. and if you have none of the aforementioned issues they will do absolutely nothing to enhance your training or physique, beyond placebo.
creatine has a minimal effect. from my experience i personally wouldn't waste my money on it.

I do want to get this straight ,though- you feel that your profile pic, which presumably is you, is impressive enough that it entitles you to say patently stupid things without being challenged? And somehow me posting a pic will determine whether or not YOU are a stupid troll?

it's not stupid it's the truth. anyone over 20 that's been training for more than 18 months and is still buying BB supplements is an idiot. there's possibly a place for protein powders but not the stupidly over hyped tiny containers that cost a fortune per gram but possibly the reasonably priced bulk products. but i would class that as food tbh and it's not necessary but can be convenient.
and i only need to look like a train to trump a no pic dickless wonder, when it comes to talking about training.
try opening your ears and shutting your mouth for a bit and you may actually learn enough to look like you train too ;)
-
An aside. One thing I decided this year is to spend more money on groceries with higher quality tastier options, keeping it as lean as required. This counters a built in tendency with me (unintentional) to drop calories too much toward the end because the pre-contest food is so unappetizing, resulting in some loss of size I think. This seems worth the investment in my case.
-
Monthly basis around +/- 30 euro's for creatine / whey & caffeine tabs.
Used to be a fan of pre-workout and other supplements, but generally did not experience drastic changes so cut the chemicals out.
No longer touch pre-workout due to the stuff having caused heart palpitations once, haven't touched it since.

Conker has a good build and he's not really saying anything outlandish. Do you really feel most supplements are worth it? I think that money would be better spent on higher quality food

Yes, it is extremely stupid.If Conker managed to build a decent physique with no supps, that's great, but his blurry back pic doesn't make his post less stupid. Literally every person who competes in some kind of physique contest, from amateurs to pros, takes supplements. Most people who work in the fitness industry (like active, instructional, etc) take supplements. I workout at a gym with some physique guys, pro bodybuilders and some instagram "celebrities". Those higher profile members have permanent lockers in a lounge section of the gym, along with the personal trainers. It's just a casual thing and people go and hang out there after a workout if they want. Was chilling in there a few days ago and one of the trainers opened his locker and it was STACKED top to bottom with supplements. I commented that they must be free samples and he said that he bought everything. My homie, who is a physique competitor, was in there and his locker basically looks the same. All the trainers, male and female, all the "celebrities" have lockers overflowing with supps. Sometimes I think I spend on the higher end of supplementation, but I only take two things. That's what inspired this thread.
Meanwhile, what have I said in this thread that is so outlandish that I would have to post a competing blurry back pic to be taken seriously? ::) You just said that higher quality food was a better alternative to supps, but in two separate posts I laid out why someone would choose a shake over "real" food. So, what are the alleged benefits of choosing food over supps?

Protein powders aren't really a supplement, more of a prepared food. Semantics, maybe, but it's really just dehydrated whey. Nothing wrong with a good protein powder.
I'm talking the stuff like Cell-tech, NO Xplode, SuperPump, etc. That stuff is pure marketing. Maybe they have some effect but it's clearly out of proportion to their cost. If you know people that use em, cool. I'm willing to guess they look like they do in spite of the supplement usage--not bc of it.

Which, to me, is an even stranger response because the only supplement I personally mentioned throughout this thread was protein. So much so, that I was wondering if I was limiting the scope of the conversation. There was even an extended back and forth about the value of protein.
Meanwhile, I was in the bathroom a little while ago and thought why not? I left the building to post a picture of tilapia a few weeks ago.

When I tried to post pics from my phone on here, the file size was too large to post. I used gimp to bring down image quality, crop it . Obviously from looking at the red bubble over my face, I opened it in an image program.

Agree. That pic belies any image I believed Al to look like. Think he would have pulled that card out when going back and forth with Pellius.

LOL You can believe it's me or not. I'm not that pressed either way. Pellius wasn't the first poster to challenge me to post a pic. I've been posting on this board for nearly 15 years and there have been dozens of times people have tried to call me out. People always said they thought I was old, fat, pretending to be black (I think you were one of the people who said I was white pretending to be black, until you decided I was a black racist). I just found it funny.
Part of me is tempted to post multiple pics, but the truth is I went through everything I posted on instagram to make sure there were no pics of me wearing that shirt. The main reason I have never posted a pic on here is- based on the way people on here have reacted to me in the past (following me around in threads, starting topics about me, bringing up shit I said in a post years later)- I have no doubt that certain members would try to link the pics to my social media profiles and... who knows what from there. Already things along those lines have happened based on some of the vague personal information i've had posted here. Another thing I've always been concerned about, but less so, is getting some level of notoriety in real life and then having my identity linked to comments I've made online. I don't really post that much provocative stuff , but I do occasionally call sf1900 a phagg.

I spend 4$ a week on test which is the only stuff i use now (250mg a week for trt).
But before when i competed i spent alot more. Calories about 5000 kcal and drugs in the 1g test and 700mg tren and 600mg deca range. Also 4 iu genotropin and 20 iu insulin and 4 cc synthol each day. It did cost quite a bit.

I did ;D Like I said in last post, I'm sure a few members are going through new york area instagram profiles to try to match me up. I brought the quality down way lower than it had to be and there was a spot on the mirror over the left side of my chest that i smudged off that I'm surprised no one has brought up yet. At the end of the day, you can believe it's me or not. Like I said, I haven't posted a pic in all the time I've been a member here, haven't really cared what people thought I might look like.
The only reasons I finally did it are because I literally left my office building to post pictures of tilapia from a restaurant a few weeks back, so I can't pretend I'm too good to post pics and that is a nice mirror with pretty decent lighting.

I did ;D Like I said in last post
in case u ever expect me to know wtf ur talking about... I only read like 2% of the posts on this forum, out of that percentage... I generally stop reading posts after about.. 10 or 12 words
on top of that I am super stoned most of the time... making even the posts I try to read all the way thru... kinda hit or miss
-

No, I was on the black racist side.
Impressive if you.

you are full of sht. it's obvious from your plethora of faggoty posts that you look like shit and know jack sht about training.
post upside down mug pic.

Not talking clothing, classes, etc. And also excluding cost of gym and drugs (if you use them). Mainly talking supplements and diet. However, this is getbig so respond anyway you like. Ignore the topic title if you want.
If you are actively working out and dieting to achieve/maintain a bodybuilder/fitness type physique, how much do you drop on supps and diet? When I say diet, I mean approx $$$ ofc and stuff that you probably wouldnt buy if your primary concern wasn't gainzzz.
Huh?
I'm gonna include that stuff anyway (I haven't actually read through the thread and have only read this 1st post)..
Gym $10-30
2 bottles of test $90
Bottle of oral $30
100iu gh $180
Slin $25
Pins $5
Whey 3kg $30
Chicken breast?? $30
Oatmeal $5
Jasmine rice $10 (20lb)
Milk 25gal $75
Water 30gal $10
Instant coffee $15
Bbq sauce $5
...so like $520, roughly per month for lose dose PEds

you should have gone for something more believable. the dude in that pic is on a boat load of drugs. whereas you're the type of moron that buys over the counter supps thinking they'll improve your physique.

They are not as relevant as is pushed through mags etc
It’s all a marketing ploy
You can’t force the muscles to grow by eating excessive amounts of protein
A good balanced diet with sufficient macros / micros / vits & mins plenty of water
If you could gain 10lbs of lean quality muscle in 1yr
that’s 160oz less than half an oz per day.
1oz = 28.34grams
That’s less than 14grams
So what’s the other 300/400/500 grams of protein doing
Just stressing your kidneys & being excreted
& Turning to fat.
^This should be turned into a sticky on GetBig. Many bodybuilders go overboard on protein just like runners go overboard on carbs. The protein powder industry just loves that.
