Is combining different sources of complete protein bad for bodybuilding?

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

For those of you who like bodybuilding its commonly known that we need 6 meals per day to keep our body full of the required nutrients. My question is if there is something wrong with combing proteins from different sources, for example eating a TUNA sandwich with some CHEESE in it. Will the different amino acids cancel each other or anything downgrading the protein intake? Excuse me for my English , I hope I’ve been clear :P

there is nothing wrong with that at all. as long as you are taking in a complete source of protein often, you are fine. it is important for vegetarian diets to combine protein sources so they have a complete amino profile.. a big difference in complete protein sources is the bioavailability of each protein and speed of digestion. eggs are a grat source because your body can readily use all the protein provided in eggs. whey protein supplements are a big hit because they are rapidly digested. this is desired post workout when your recovering muscles are in need of protein. casein protein supplements are a good choice during other parts of the day and before bed as it is slow to digest and allows a slow constant stream of aminos into the body to keep muscles fed. this is also true for whole food sources that we consume. so, its not only about what kind of protein we eat, but also when we eat them. hope this helps

Is it normal to bench 450 lbs after bodybuilding for 1 year?

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

One guy at my gym i worked out with him last thursday spotted him on 450 bench.He said he has been bodybuilding for 1 year and all natural.He is not that big kinda small.May be like 220lbs at 5.9 or something like that.19 inch arms may be.Ya whatever.Back to my question.Is it possible to bench that much in 1 year.

Just because he has been bodybuilding for 1 year dosent mean he hasen’t been lifting for longer than that.

what is the best way to start bodybuilding?

Friday, July 16th, 2010

hey there guy’s, im really starting to focus on my looks now and my health. im 15 years old and i really want an amazing body. ive been weight lifting now for about 6 months and i have seen progress. but not much. my biceps are okay but i want to get them bigger. and i want abs and pecs. so basically what is the best way to start bodybuilding. also im going to start going to the gym at my school. :)

Giving a specific workout and body building program in this forum is difficult.

At 15, you’ll damage your body (permanently) by pushing it too hard. But, that’s not to say you can’t start powerlifting and keep yourself healthy. If you want "an amazing body", then body building might not be your best route.

If you want to look chiseled and beef up, then a simple workout breaking up your muscle groups and focusing in on muscle gains will suit you… One example:

Monday: Back and Biceps
Tuesday: Chest, triceps, and abs
Wednesday: Glutes and Quads (hip adductors)
Thursday: Traps, delts, and abs
Friday: hamstrings and calves (groin)

This workout breaks up the body into upper and lower body, and push and pull movements. On the first week, pick ONE upperbody day and ONE lower body day, preferably not back to back days, then lift HEAVY weights on that day only. The rest of the week should be fairly heavy weight, but not nearly as heavy as your focus for the week. The next week, switch to a muscle group for your heavy day.

Message me if you have more questions or if you want a full workout.

How hard is it to maintain a bodybuilding body?

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

How fast would you "deflate" is you completely stopped exercising?
Is a bodybuilding body harder to maintain than the body of guy that goes to the gym but is not a bodybuider ( let’s say a boxer) ?
Thanks

What? You don’t deflate, if you stop exercising you will just put on weight and if your not eating right then your body will eat your muscle.

Why do bodybuilding magazines choose to act in an unethical way?

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Why do bodybuilding magazines choose to act in an unethical way?
By promoting steroid use and obsessive exercise.

i’m not sure that they overtly promote steroid use, but as for the excessive exercise – they are body building magazines man, what do you expect? there is a market for it, the magazines fill the desire for people who like that kind of thing. i don’t think the magazines are a primary contributing factor in pushing people towards being muscle bound mutant freaks. it’s some brain aberration or something, like anorexia.

Any tips of any diets for bodybuilding?

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

I’m planning on starting leading a healthy lifestyle, mainly bodybuilding/toning but also interested in general health too. I’ve heard that chicken and rice etc is good. Does anybody have a plan/schedule that i could stick to throughout the day?

Thanks!

bodybuilding / toning are different animals

For bodybuilding, you need to have a high protein diet. You’ll also want to have creatine, which increases water retention (lets you work out harder) and helps rebuild muscles faster (you essentially tear down and build muscles back up during body building).

You’ll also want whey protein, etc.
