Unlike some other exercies doing pullups and chin ups is partially relative to your body weight, since that’s what you’re lifting. So its proportionally simpler for some kid that might weight a little over a 100 pounds compared to someone that weights over 200 pounds.
@280az ye….but this guy seems to do it all the time tho ;P nah i dont know, I’m still young, havent learned all this stuff yet ;P
But I do know I can do more pullups than he can, if that was his max…;o
The big question is how much protein? IF you are actively training you should consume between 1.25-1.50 grams of proten for every pound of LEAN BODY MASS. That is NOT the same as your weight! Today many bathroom scales will give you this figure. Or your can use BMI to caculate apx body fat then subtract from your total weight.
The golden rule of eating is don’t consume more calories then you can burn in your daily activites or it gets converted to fat. If you have a sweet tooth, since simple sugars will be the first fuel your body burns, if you have to have some, eat it about 20 minutes before you exercise and most will get burned off first.
Of course the best way to burn what fat you already have is avoid or strickly limit carbs, (except slowly absorbed ones) then your body will burn more fat for fuel.
The body expels what can’t be stored, like excess vitamin C. That’s because vitamin C is water soluible, so it bonds to water and excess amounts are pissed away. Most other vitamins are FAT soluible and thus can be stored, Like I said before any excess THAT CAN BE STORED like protein (what body doesn’t need to fuel muscles, other things) gets converted to fat, just like excess carbs gets converted to fat.
@Dimitrios57x Well, as willieofroanoke said, it’s not ALL in the protein, it’s about exercise and food. cause it’s not like you could grow muscles with food. it’s like this, you also burn your muscles through exercise so you need about enough protein to maintain them. if you have gained satisfactory muscles then maintain your daily protein intake.
@280az your probably right. my endurance is also bad, i hear working with lighter weight dumbells most reps improves endurance so ive been doing that every other week but yeah 6 pullups isnt a lot. but hes jacked anyways so i cant say much
Look at it this way. Somebody ALREADY having massive muscle structure will need and use up more protein. So if you ALREADY look something like Ronnie Coleman or Jay Culter, eating an extra couple pounds of protein a day goes to supporting muscle ALREADY THERE. However if you look more like Joe six pack, and you eat a couple extra pounds of protein much of that will end up as fat.
Sorry to break the bad news to you, but just eating more protein won’t build muscle.
@mrattaintruefreedom… you have a medical degee? I didn’t think so.
The point that zooms over so many trying to “body build” is they lack a basic understanding of how the body uses food. Excess, REGARDLESS if carbs, fat or protein gets converted to fat. There’s no way to deny that simple fact. Its the same with ecess minerals and vitamins. Excess is simply pissed away.
Much of the sugar goes directly into blood stream for energy, a percentage goes to the liver where it’s converted to glycogen. What’s left (not needed) gets dumped into fat cells.
Fat goes to the Liver. Some burned as fuel, some get converted to cholesterol, what’s not need goes to fat cells.
Protein? Gets broken down into building blocks known as peptides and amino acids. What’s needed for fuel absorbed by small intestine’s lining. Excess gets converted to fat!
Willieofroanoke, I understand the point of what you’re trying to say, but let’s not go to the opposite side of ridiculousness and make the claim that resulting muscle gain is “never from what you eat.” Anyone with basic common sense can see that is false.
Saliva in your mouth contains enzymes that break starch in food down to sugar. Pepsin (the enzyme that digests protein) and hydrochloric acid further break down the food in your stomach. Next it enters your duodenum, bile from gall bladder helps disvolve the fat, more enzymes from the pancreas break down the sugars and, fat ending up as a semi liquid mixture to be absorbed through the lining of the small bowel.
My goodness… why do so many fall for all these phony wannabe guru types that make videos for YouTube?
First, you gain muscle mass from EXERCISE, never from what you eat. The latest hype seems to be protein. Well guess what… most North American diets have enough, even too much protein.
Which begs the next logical question. What happens to excess protein?
Are you sitting down?
Excess protein, like excess carbs get converted to fat! Read that again so it sinks in.
hey i have a question… due to stomach issues, i am suffering some modifications in my diet, before i used to eat 6-8 times a day and i got some muscle mass, but i have a question, is it possible to gain muscle mass with a 3 daily meal diet?because i used to eat so much that the doctor said that was unhealthy so my metabolism needs to rest more bewteen meals, at least 6 hours, which worries me cuz i know we need a lot of protein to build up muscle

scooby you really need to improve your endurance 6 pull ups at at the begining is not much
March 6th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
do you stack as many steroids as variations of the same exercise that you do??

How your body handles what you put in your mouth:
Saliva in your mouth contains enzymes that break starch in food down to sugar. Pepsin (the enzyme that digests protein) and hydrochloric acid further break down the food in your stomach. Next it enters your duodenum, bile from gall bladder helps disvolve the fat, more enzymes from the pancreas break down the sugars and, fat ending up as a semi liquid mixture to be absorbed through the lining of the small bowel.
