The benefits of protein are historically documented by all the great bodybuilders. Nothing new here. Mainstream is always behind the freaks who dare to go against "science".
- milesvp 9y agoWhich is amusing, because in this context the bodybuilders are fundamentally doing science. They have experiments (aka, exercise and eating regiments) that, as I understand it, are repeatable, and consistently produce the desired outcome, at least in terms of sculpted muscle and body fat.
- curuinor 9y agoModern bodybuilders don't have incredible life spans, either, so they face the consequences.
- xupybd 9y agoI've often wondered about this can you point me in the direction of any info on their life spans?
- rshannon3 9y agoThat is mostly because all modern competitive bodybuilders use large amounts of PEDs.
- barsonme 9y agoYeah, pumping yourself full of tren, clen, and designer drugs, as well as getting up to 400+ lbs will do that to you.
- coralreef 9y agoBut the experiments are also tainted, ie. undisclosed steroid supplements or other enhancers.
- whatsthatee 9y agoExcept the steroids are also tracked meticulously. Pro bodybuilders use relatively similar cycles as well. It's all quite documented in fact. There are also natural bodybuilders who do not use any peds
- hnzix 9y agoNot all bodybuilders juice. I experiment with my diet and regime all the time. Intermittent Fasting & Keto at the moment, and lots of protein.
- coralreef 9y agoNever said all do, but some do, so its hard to isolate factors, the data becomes low quality.
- r0brodz 9y agoScience said "Too much protein, i.e 1g/lb of body weight, was bad for your kidneys". That's what I meant by against science.
- jjeaff 9y agoThis article kind of addresses that. It mentions that this has been known but says it is unclear whether these high protein diets are effective for groups outside of your traditional, male bodybuilder.
