Don’t take my word for it though. One of the greatest natural bodybuilders of all time, Bill Pearl recommends that any more than half a gram of protein per pound of bodyweight will simply go to waste. There are many other athletes that eat very little protein and are extremely muscular. Guys like Mike Mentzer, Andreas Cahling and Carl Lewis are just a few I can name off the top of my head.

The reason protein powders work is because it is a convenient way to get in enough calories. Protein won’t help you build any muscle if you aren’t eating enough total calories.

MEASURE YOUR PROGRESS

Before you start, measure your biceps, chest, thighs, and any other muscle you wish to increase in size. After 2 weeks of consistent training and eating measure again. If you haven’t added at least ¼ to ½ inch to any measurements, increase your daily caloric target by 500.

So just remember, train hard with the big lifts, eat a lot of food and give yourself plenty of rest. In no time you will have to go and buy some new shirts to fit into!
