Jun 28, 2011 at 10:17 comment added Berin Loritsch For all we know they could also be multivitamins. There is such a thing as the G.L.A.D. (Glycemic Load Annabolic Diet), which is supposed to help your body naturally produce the types of hormones that would allow you to absorb protein and such. I don't know for sure about its effectiveness for that purpose, but it's based on the principles I learned independently to help lose fat and gain muscle.
Jun 28, 2011 at 4:20 comment added JoJo I'm not sure if Coleman takes steroids or not. Don't they do blood tests for the Mr. Olympia contest to prevent steroid usage? At the end of this video you see Ronnie open up a war chest of pills large enough to run a pharmacy. I have no idea how to tell which of those pills are steroids.
Jun 27, 2011 at 18:47 comment added Berin Loritsch @JoJo, does Ronnie Coleman use steroids? That alters the body's ability to absorb protein. Unfortunately a great number of bodybuilders do use steroids, and the figures I have are for natural or raw figures.
Jun 24, 2011 at 6:41 comment added Salsero69 I have read the 9 g/hr figure in a number of articles myself as well, so there is something amiss for sure.
Jun 24, 2011 at 6:04 comment added JoJo If the maximum protein absorption rate is 9 g/hr, then 216 g can be absorbed in one day. Then why is it that 8 time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman eats 546 g of protein per day? 330 g would be wasted if your claim was true. Ronnie is the record holder for the most Mr. Olympia titles. He KNOWS how to use protein better than anyone else. So there seems to be something wrong with your figures, Berin.
Jun 22, 2011 at 13:13 comment added Christopher Bibbs +1 For not over thinking it. I've read plenty of studies that show a good deal of the protein in the massive shakes doesn't absorb fast enough and ends up just passing through. Seems it would make more sense to get a little right away and then drink a moderate sized shake later.
