Get big off whole eggs, whole milk, cream, beef, and shellfish. All have a lot of cholesterol, which is great for gains, and the shrimp without hardly any saturated fats too.
Many of the bodybuilders of the 60’s to put on mass were on the Vince Gironda’s diet of steak, eggs, protein powder mixed with whole cream, etc. The diet also recommended 36 whole eggs per day and 1-2 pounds of red meat per day. It was a high fat, high protein, low carb diet with plenty of green veggies. It was also packed with a lot of cholesterol which may have been the most important component of the diet. Based on the last several articles that I have written it should be no surprise that cholesterol is important for building muscle. Cholesterol is a precursor for testosterone production. Unlike most cells that use cholesterol primary for normal cell functioning, Leydig cells (testosterone producing cells in the testis) have additional requirements for cholesterol, because it is the essential precursor for testosterone production. A new study in Endocrinology sheds some interesting new evidence to support how cholesterol is needed for testosterone production. Researchers reported that an increase in leutinizing hormone (a hormone that signals testosterone production) resulted in an increase in the synthesis of cholesterol synthesis and uptake in the testis16.
So if you are on a low cholesterol diet, it may have a negative impact on muscle building due to impaired androgen production. Researchers have long thought that cholesterol may be important for muscle building but never had the science to back it upâ?¦till now. A recent study put the cholesterol muscle building theory to test. They took 25 men and 30 women who filled out food diaries of what they ate and followed them over 12 weeks in conjunction with a resistance training program. The researchers compared the relationship between dietary cholesterol and gains in muscle mass. At the end of the study, the average dietary cholesterol consumption was strongly associated with the change in lean mass. Interestingly, although dietary protein was correlated with dietary cholesterol, protein by itself was not significantly correlated with change in lean mass. This means the researchers found that cholesterol but not protein was associated with changes in lean muscle mass. This means that all those cholesterol free egg beaters that bodybuilders have been eating for years arenâ??t going to do jack shit for building muscle! The researchers noted that the study participants with higher cholesterol levels were more likely to have higher levels of inflammatory chemicals and cardiovascular disease risk factors. The scientists noted that cholesterol increases the bodyâ??s inflammatory response to the muscle damage from exercise, and that this inflammation response stimulates the bodyâ??s muscle-building â??anabolicâ?? processes. (While chronic inflammation in arteries or other tissues is unhealthful, short-lived inflammation is an integral part of the muscle-building process.)

No only at shop where i live. LOL[/quote]
He meant that for the most part Biotest supplements are only available on this site. Though some stores carry Spike and HOT-ROX.[/quote]
Ill take e look at a shop outside my city at a bigger shop if not i will ask for information where i can find them.
Thanks dude.[/quote]
No, you have it all wrong. They are saying you can’t buy Biotest supplements (the supplements you can buy on this site) in any stores. They are suggesting that you consider buying some of the protein supplements from this site.
Got it?[/quote]
I had an exam so i was off for a while. I did understant what they ment but i cant order things from this site(wish i can), i live in Europe so transport will cost me hell a lot.
I will drink what I bought and i will see what i will do next.

So protein wasn’t the main cause of muscle gain? Do you know how much excess calories they were eating per day?
I Read as well that a higher saturated Fat intake is pro inflamatory, which intern helps with muscle growth! Maybe that also has something to do with the success of that diet. I know the shrip isnt high in saturated fats but the other foods mentioned are.
Sorry for the Hijack OP But if you want to gain weight drinking protein shakes and swimming wont get the Job done get in the gym my friend and just eat more Whole food. Lots of steak, fish, eggs Chicken etc…and as the boy’s above mentioned lots of fats are easy to down and are calorie dense. Good luck. Oh and as Far as a protein Powder. If you want a whey protein just check and make sure its either an Isolate or Hydrolysate!
