Post on why u don’t need enormous amounts of protein. Share ur opinion
I wanted to toss something out there for all you guys taking anabolic steroids . If you have read through the Slingshot Training System article you know I believe in protein cycling. Protein cycling while using anabolics is nothing new! Dave Palumbo suggest that protein cycling is anabolic. Vince Gironda was pushing periods of lower protein intake years ago. Tom Platz talked about it in his book "Big Beyond Belief." I believe that constantly taking in high amounts of protein (for i.e.: 2 grams of protein per pound of body weight year round) can make the body become efficient at getting rid of it as waste rather than utilizing it for muscle growth regardless of what you may be using to promote protein systheis. Why? For starters the liver becomes stressed and gains can slow down. Ammonia is a product formed during amino acid deamination and is very toxic to the body. Constanlty overloading your body with excessive amounts of protein in order to achieve more growth does not work as well as one might think.
The key to getting the body to store more protein in the mucles is to first remove excess toxins from kidneys and liver by way of a deload ( a lower volume training phase). This helps the organs to become efficient at storing amino acids in the body rather than getting rid of them as waste. In addition, increasing healthy fat intake while simulataenously lowering carbs/proetin during a deload will help increase insulin sensitivity. When insulin sensitivity is high-more amino acids can be accepted into the muscle cells. Fats allow for additional calories to be ingested without decreasing insulin sensitivity like tons of carbs do. And healthy fats do not put undue stress on organs like heavy amounts of protein. The *****-3 fatty acids are somewhat anabolic and significantly improve glucose disposal in both diabetics and healthy humans.
I have learned the best time to load up on protein and carbs is during higher volume training phases (called a reload) where their is a larger demand for such. It's simply not needed during lower volume training phases (deload). As with training volumes- protein/carb cycling causes the body to become more efficient at storage of either. I believe lowering protein during a deload tricks the body into becoming very sensitive to the anabolic effects of amino acids just as lowering training volume during a deload encourages the body to become more sensitive to higher training volumes during a reload.. If the body is always being overloaded with large amouts of protein it can down-regulating protein storage enzymes secondary to anticipating excess protein. The body is an adaptive machine so realize taking in too much protein or carbs can actually decrease absorption over a period of time. The same rule applies to training volumes!

Makes sense. Can’t say I have research to disprove you. I’ve also seen layne norton talking about how you don’t need lower amounts of protein. I’ll have to look into this more since I always take in lots of protein

I typed out a big ass post but deleted it. You covered it) great post! Ronnie Rowland is a genius! The guy put the last pieces of the puzzle into place imo.

from my own personal experiences and bloodwork... too much protein definitely can negatively effect potassium levels and stress the kidneys and liver more so than necessary.... after so much bloodwork i have found the good ratio for me to be a little over 1.25g per pound of LEAN body mass... so roughly 220-240g daily is my sweet spot as of right now... so i kinda agree with this article in a way...

Yea my experiences as well are too much can effect your levels as well especially if your using a crap ton of powder protein . Gotta eat more protein and not take so much powders. Theyr'e is only so much powder your body can digest .

I try to keep my intake close to a gram per pound but when im on a blast i try to double that and increase fats and carbs. If i eat too clean while on blast i have a difficuty making gains due to it being so difficult to intake the sheer calories needed to grow.
Just my 2 cents
PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY
SO DON'T BE A PUSSY

I've never read or heard of the body being able to store protein or AAs. Unfortunately that seems to invalidate the rest of your theory.
