feralbison4 said:Piralić is killer, but he’s got two issues—one he can fix, the other he just can't...
Basically, his lat development is lagging behind, which is something he can work on...
The second issue is his height and because of that, some short guy is always going to snatch the win in the heavyweight division since everything looks way more massive on them. There's nothing he can do about that...
Just made me think of another tall beast from around here, Eugene, man, that guy was an absolute unit...
Here's a link to one of Piralić's videos...

And that first problem actually has a solution --> pack on another 45 lbs of muscle😁

Nice physique, pretty balanced, though he's lacking enough mass (or maybe just too tall) to actually hold his own against those shorter, powerhouse winners.
The Adriatic would take him easily if he'd just fix those legs. 😁

goldenfox24 said:So why the hell do pro bodybuilders say you shouldn't be sipping shakes during a workout, just carbs instead?
Milos Sarcev (assuming you know who he is) actually recommends taking both Pre-Workout and Protein along with carbs DURING your session if you're a hardgainer or just trying to pack on size fast.

Terry Young94... your Post-workout meal dose should be based on your body weight, not whatever is printed on the label (it makes no sense for a Post-workout meal to be the same for someone who weighs 110 lbs versus 330 lbs, regardless of what those "30g of protein per meal is the limit" crowd claims).

Roger Richardson61 said:Like I said before, it’d be great if some actual lab tested this properly. Honestly, the ingredients aren't even that bad. It’s got a bit more UH (12 grams), but for the price, whatever.
But look, 300 grams is $17, so 900 grams is $50. And for $70, you get 900 grams of UN's new top-tier, high-quality whey isolate.
I tried that crap from Walmart and the result was bloating followed by diarrhea. Conclusion? Way too much lactose (regardless of what the label claims)!!! My buddy tried it too, same story... wouldn't recommend it to anyone (though I'm sure, as usual, there'll be at least one person who thinks it's totally fine).

William Green57 said:man, you're an idiot!!!
what website even are you talking about????
it's one of the biggest pieces of junk out there!!!
Are you actually making that claim because you work in some lab where you tested Scitec against everyone else and decided they're the worst (or is it just that your gym only drinks Weider)?

Hey,
I’ve been scrolling through the last few pages of this thread, and honestly, my best advice is to go hunt for answers on a dedicated fitness forum. If you head over to a specialized community site, they’ll have detailed breakdowns of everything you're struggling with—just make sure you read the FAQ first so you actually understand the answers. Most of you guys are flying blind here; it would be a massive help if you at least learned the basics of nutrition, training, and recovery (it's all in the FAQ).
Regarding supplements: they matter, but they aren't the holy grail. Supplements are just that—additions. Their whole purpose is to fill in the gaps when you can't get enough nutrients from your regular food (for example, athletes need more vitamins and minerals than the average person because their bodies burn through them faster, so they take stronger multivitamins; the same logic applies to protein, etc.).
For your average gym-goer, it’s plenty to just balance your diet based on your goals (bulking, cutting, whatever). Also, keep in mind that body types vary. What works for one guy won't work for everyone else. The trick is finding what works for YOU. And obviously, you have to fit it into your actual life—you aren't going to hit the gym seven days a week if you're working a 12-hour shift in construction.
Maybe the most important tip: find something you actually enjoy doing, something that makes you look forward to the next session. For some, it's lifting; for others, it's cycling...
And to answer the question:
Is it good to stop taking protein occasionally to let the body "cleanse," and after how long? I don't think there are any harmful side effects, though maybe it puts a bit more strain on the kidneys or liver than usual?
Protein is one of the three essential macronutrients found in basically every food (though some amounts are negligible), so you can't really avoid it. Plus, it's the only macronutrient that your body doesn't store like fat or carbs (which turn into glucose). I'm assuming you're mostly asking about protein shakes... generally, a high-protein diet isn't recommended for people with kidney issues (and we're talking total protein intake from all sources, not just the powder), but if your kidneys are healthy, feel free to take it every single day without a break. One thing I'd definitely recommend alongside a high-protein diet is drinking tons of water—that's solid advice for anyone, really—because it basically flushes your system. I'd also add that you need enough fiber (like veggies, say green salad), because anyone who has tried a high-protein diet with zero fiber knows the struggle in the bathroom, haha.
That's all from me. Good luck hitting those goals, everyone. 🙂
