Let's see where those "walking monsters of muscle " would be without their steroids. The credibility you assign to them is in the drugs they take. You're rather easy to please. (Rolling your eyes right back at you.)Quote from traderdragon:
...Do you not look at actual results??? Look at one of those walking monsters of muscle, with 4% body fat, and tell me they dont know a damn thing about how to gain muscle mass. (rolling eyes)
Quote from Trader273:
HA! Are you for real?? Thatâs not even close to being true. Mike Mentzer and his brother Ray Mentzer died with-in days of each from a degenerative heart disease. To imply that he died because of the way he trained or his nutrition is absolutely amazing. It must have been because he didnât get 500 grams of protein a day.
Quote from Trader273:
Direct Quotes from Mike Mentzer "Heavy Duty Nutrition"
âIf we all gained 10 pounds of lean muscle this year, we would need to consume 600 ( the number of calories in a pound of muscle)* 10 ( the number of pounds of muscle growth stimulated), or 6000 calories a year over and above the amount need for maintenance. Not 6000 calories extra a day, a week or a month, but a year!â
-Page 4
âif you discover that your daily average caloric maintenance need s 3000, you need to consumer 3016 calories a day in order to gain 10lbs of lean muscle a year. Again, those 16 extra calories a day wil add up to the 6000 extra we need for the year. When you consider that you may been force-feeding yourself thousands of extra calories a day, it is almost embarrassing to discover you only needed 16 extra a day to gain 10 pounds of muscle.
Incidentally, not all those 16 extra calories need to be derived from protein sources. In order to gain 10 pounds of muscle in a year, you need only one extra gram of protein a day above your maintenance protein needs. Most bodybuilders are already getting much more protein than needed for maintenance and growthâ

Since this book is hard to come by, I have an adobe file of it if you are interested.
I hope this was what you thought I was bullshitting![]()

And as for the RDA, I cannot comment as I have not looked into it lately. However, I'm guessing that any legitimate revisions do not include significant increments (i.e., multiples).
Quote from riskarb:
It might have something to do with the 3 packs of cigs a day as well. I never stated is was due to lack of protein or diet in general. The guy was a freakin' retard. Like minds, eh?

One thing that surprises me that I dont see in comments about traders is that theyseem to know everything about everything.![]()
