Protein is Overrated 🥩 Protein is a key nutrient for muscle growth. But most people strive for far too much. Not only complicating what constitutes a healthy, muscle-building diet. But also creating the potential for demotivation if one falls short of an exceptionally high target. Protein requirements are based off of LEAN BODY MASS, not total bodyweight. Meaning that for most people, especially those on the fatter end of the spectrum. By aiming for 2G per KG of TOTAL BODYWEIGHT.. You’re probably eating far more than you need. Aiming for close to 1.5G per KG of TOTAL BODYWEIGHT is a decent benchmark. With the benefits becoming blurry as protein intake increases beyond this point. Especially if you’re an average gym goer. Even if 1.5G still sounds like a lot. Start by aiming for more than 20G in every meal or snack you consume. Protein is important. But you don’t need as much as you think. #protein
Proving my Natural Status ep.1 It’s no surprise that I get accused of ⚙️ pretty much every day. So to prove that I am in fact and always have been an entirely natural lifter I’m entering a Natural Powerlifting competition at the end of June. This event will be WADA tested so presuming I can maintain/improve my strength and pass the drugz test on competition day, it’ll be enough to convince SOME of the naysayers. Today is my first day of powerlifting training which will be my priority for the next 2 months. My goal is to hit over a 200KG squat, 180kg Bench & a 270KG deadlift. Considering I’m not a powerlifter, this will be quite the challenge. But I’m excited. @citygymlk T-shirt/shorts from @Gymshark code SEAN (10% off)
