Massive Ripped
Pecs with Protein -
2
When it comes to Protein
Supplement Sources is whey the
best?
Although there are
literally hundreds of protein
supplement products to choose from for
developing massive, ripped, pecs,
they essentially fall into three categories
- whey, milk and egg, and soy.
Whey protein
Whey
is one of
the two major proteins found in cow’s milk.
(the other being casein). Whey makes
up about 20 percent of the total protein
found in milk and is considered the best
protein supplement because of its
digestibility, bioavailability (amount
absorbed versus amount used), and high
levels of such muscle builders as glutamine
and branched chain amino acids. It also
mixes easier than other protein sources, and
doesn’t seem to cause the bloating and
gastrointestinal discomfort that other
protein sources have reputations
for.
Milk and Egg proteins
Years ago milk and egg
proteins were far inferior to whey
for developing massive, ripped, pecs,
but not any more. Processing techniques have
made milk and egg sources almost as good.
But despite better refinement procedures
milk and egg products still need to be mixed
in a blender. Milk and egg sources may also
cause gastrointestinal issues for some
because they use whole milk. Most whey
protein supplement products have the
lactose and other gastro upsetting culprits
removed.
Soy Protein
Like milk and egg
protein sources, soy protein has received a
new lease on life lately. Despite being
derived from a plant, soy is one of the few
plant sources that contain all 22 amino
acids (most plant proteins are lacking one
or more amino acids). Compared to high-end
proteins, soy protein falls a little short
in most respects. It doesn't mix that well
(a blender is a must), and its taste will
definitely need some adjusting to. Still, it
has its benefits including lowering
cholesterol and reducing heart disease. So
while not the best protein supplement
for building massive ripped pecs, soy
does have a role to play in contributing to
overall health.
