Massive Ripped Pecs with Protein - 1
Ultimate Chest Training
Welcome to week 3. Besides knowing the best exercises for ultimate chest training and how to combine them in effective routines, there is another important variable needed for building massive, ripped pecs – protein!
Since it’s the primary building material of the human body, it only makes sense that any form of intense super chest training exercise will increase the demand for protein.
How much Protein for Building Massive Ripped Pecs?
How much protein needed by humans is one of those issues that has been hotly debated for decades. The debate has intensified in recent years because of the success of many popular high-protein weight-loss diets. The current RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) for protein is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. Bodybuilders of course ignore this and take far more for ultimate chest training. The latest research suggests that endurance athletes should consume 1.2 to 1.4 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day; while strength and power athletes need to consume between 1.4 and 1.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. These values are still below what most bodybuilding experts recommend for building massive, ripped pecs, which is about 1 gram per pound of bodyweight.
The best sources of protein
Protein is made up of individual subunits called amino acids. There are approximately 22 amino acids. Those, which the body can manufacture are called nonessential while those that must be consumed in the diet are called essential. With the exception of soy beans, most plant sources are deficient in one or more amino acids and are considered incomplete sources. Animal sources on the other hand contain all the amino acids and are considered complete sources. To maximize your potential for building massive, ripped pecs, you should get most of your protein from red meat, chicken, and fish. If you decide to go vegetarian you’ll need to eat a wide variety of plant sources to insure you are receiving all 22 amino acids. This is an absolute must for ultimate chest training.
