I have been bodybuilding for 2 years and 11 months, almost 3 years. The first half of the year was just messing around. I didn’t know anything and just watched the videos. The funniest part was that in the first 5 months I only trained on biceps. Then I felt that I had no breasts, so I started working on my biceps and chest.

It wasn’t until the second year that I really had to practice with my whole body. But not paying too much attention to diet is a detour that many bodybuilding enthusiasts should take, hahaha. According to calculations, in the past three years, I gained 0.21-0.22 kilograms of muscle per month, and only gained 2.5 kilograms of muscle (skeletal muscle) per year. At that time, I only ate high-calorie and high-protein foods. Exactly how this will be carried out is completely unplanned. There is no recipe either. Eat as much as you can without skipping a meal.

Starting this month, I formulated a recipe (not very strict) and also bought a muscle-building powder (that is: protein + carbohydrate + some trace elements to help synthesize muscles). Guess how it works?

Through professional instrument testing, this month I gained 0.5kg of muscle (skeletal muscle) and my lean body mass increased by 0.7KG. Oh my gosh, it’s more than double what it used to be. In one year, I can gain 6KG of muscle, which is much higher than the better result of 4KG. (Of course it can’t be compared with taking 7 meals a day, more than a dozen supplements, and gaining 3 pounds of muscle every month. I remember that Phyllis’s strongest muscle gain in one year was 30 pounds.) The arm circumference has also increased from From 42cm to 43cm, the bench press also easily increased from 100kg to 110kg. The limit of pull-ups also increased from 14 to 17. The weight is also a little over 77Kg.

Why do I use muscle gain powder instead of protein powder. Because muscle gain powder contains carbohydrates. Got itThis thing is equivalent to adding a meal to me. It is convenient without having to look for extra carbohydrate foods.

It is also generally believed that carbohydrates are fattening. But carbohydrates are also an important "catalyst" for muscle synthesis. I don't know the specific principle. I only know that protein powder without carbohydrates will not be used to synthesize muscles. Therefore, it is more important to replenish carbohydrates after exercise than protein. Of course the best way is to supplement together.
