A hippo is 3000 pounds of pure muscle, even though its diet is about 90% carbs.Where did the protein meme come from exactly?You eat, you lift, you build muscles. That's it.
>>76869241It's muscles are certainly not made out of sugar, weak bait
>>76869241you arent a hippo retard
Plants aren't made of carbs lmao if you're serious
>>76869253Humans consume 2-3 times more protein per bodyweight each day than hippos do. For bodybuilders, that’s 4-5 times more than hippos. Despite this, hippos have far more muscle than even steroidmaxxed bodybuilders per bodyweight. The reality is that whether you eat 50g of protein a day or 200g, it doesn’t matter. Your body will still have enough protein to repair itself. What truly matters is eating a lot and working out.The guy who eats cakes and waffles all day and works out hard will gain the same amount of muscle as the guy who proteinmax(assuming both have the same level of genetics).
>>76869241They have microbes in their digestive system that efficiently break down plant matter and synthesize amino acids (yes, plants contain protein), and they graze basically every waking hour to get enough food in.
>>76869241>>76869298Vegans were right.
>>76869281>corn isn't made of carbs
>>76869241they are essentially digesting microbes (for protein) that they keep in the belly and which process the plants in the belly and multiply
>>76869294Hippos also have really high T, so it barely matters how much protein they consume, as long as they do. There is a reason why Sam Sulek eats junk food and pancakes the whole day and gains a shit ton of muscles.
>>76869241Ruminants have special digestive tracts that allow them to break down cellulose for nutrition.
hippo in the water a lotyou are aquamaxxing, right?
it's easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled, everyone has been fooled by the protein scam, I can only applaud them for how long they've pulled it off without anyone questioning it
>>76869241>Where did the protein meme come from exactly?Consider that you are not a hippo
>>76869241A hippo is 3000 pounds. It needs FAR MORE energy to move itself around than we do. What's your point exactly?>>76869294It is interesting to think maybe lower protein clearance in hippos makes them less able to repair themselves or more susceptible to certain ailments, would need to research that more though>>76869281>76869298>>76869325>>76869339Retard
>>76869265>>76869383can you prove that affirmation?
>>76869241Muscle is only 20% protein, 70% water and the rest glycogen/other stuff. So if you want to gain 1 kg of muscle in one month you only need to eat an extra 200g of protein in a month which is only an extra 6.5 grams of protein per day over maintenance. That's also why CICO doesnt work properly, because if you gain 1kg of muscle, 70% of the weight gain was water which has zero calories.
>>76869383Can you prove it? No? Then Fuck off.
>>76869383I called your mom a hippo, right before I shaved her back
>>76869337>Hippos also have really high T>No blood test of hippos providedMammals, for the most part, have similar test levels to humans.Also, doesn't explain why female hippos have large muscles as well.
>>76869294Hippos also spend six hours a day eating, because eating plant matter is far less efficient (protein per gram) than eating meat. >The reality is that whether you eat 50g of protein a day or 200g, it doesn’t matterDepends on how much training your doing, if you're taking gear (steroids enhance protein synthesis) and other factors. Protein is lower glycemic index than cakes and waffles with syrup, so any human with highish A1C/ obesity is going to want to consume the former over the latter, unless they actually want to become diabetic.
>>76869241Hippos are (pseudo) ruminants. They can do things with their food that you can't
>>76869241Genuinely sad that the initiative to try and farm hippo meat in the US didn't work for some reason
>>76869241Hippos die at 40
>>76869241>pure muscleeasily 20% + bodyfat, hippos are the powershitters of the animal kingdom
>>76869241Different organisms break down different foods differently.A human is an omnivore and similarly to bears will develop more muscle if it eats slightly more protein.Eat just protein and your body will actually struggle to grow (keto diet has benefits but it 100% does not expwnd your genetix limits for muscle growth)Horses also eat grass but l9ok at their muscled ass. Herbivores are special animals that eat exclusively plants, see. There are many digestive system nuances, enzymesand hormones that allow growing muscle from plants.humans dont have those.Humans are omnivores. You can try eating like a chimp, they are muscled. That will make.more sense to your body
>>76869294AgreedExcept that eating cakes may deliver energy for growth but will fuck your kidneys. You need to look at food intake from a systemic perspective. Humans ans omnivores cant exclude something without a tradeoff.Most muscle growth will happen if yiu eat normal verage meal in large mounts and also work out a lot.While being muscled and lean is some standard of aesthetics, the natural strong look is more similar to a strongman- muscled and slightly chubby.
>>76869241>Where did the protein meme come from exactly?I seriously think the protein meme is getting shilled by big onions and big dairy trying to push their products down everyone's throats. Even starbucks came out with protein coffees recently.>>76869294>The guy who eats cakes and waffles all day and works out hard will gain the same amount of muscle as the guy who proteinmaxThis. Calories matter far more than protein.
>>76869339This Can we stop having these retarded fucking threads now?
>>76871265>try eating like a chimp Yeah dont. They also have a giga large intestine and a functioning cecum. We are still fairly different. Also chimps have to eat their own shit for another pass on the undigestible plant matter.Omnivore is a misnomer because technically all animals are omnivores. Muttmericans still regurarly feed their cats kibble that are 40-50% dried plant material and their little pisskitties live until 12-14.
>>76871276>muh unit of heat energyBack to plebbit
>>76871255>muscle has androgen receptors>eating steroid meat is at least not preferable>or is itI am going to see what happens if I double my meat intake over a few months while keeping all other variables constant, and in particular the meat of the highest T animals possible.
>>76871337You might as well just buy bull testicles then, I've heard it doesnt work but gl.
>reminder that all of the fattest animals eat leaves>cows eat grass>pigs eat grass and grains>whales eat plankton>dewgongs eat seaweedThey are all fucking fat and none of them eat bacon
>>76871342Or I can eat 5lbs or so of meat a day, I'm thinking it is more permanent than steroids while also having results resembling slight steroid use hoping that the androgen receptor shit gets absorbed so my body can produce those cells thus greatly increasing peak mass.
>>76871348Almost like strong fat is the natural way of life.
>>76871356You're not going to be able to finish 5lbs of meat, I promise.
>>76871290You're sub 6'0 and sub 250lbs
>>76871348dewgong is a pokemon those eat pokeblocks or whatever the fuckthe animal you're refering to is dugong
>>76869241We aren't hippos
>>76869241Is OP a hipposexual?A new letter added to the alphabet people pantheon of kosherness, the letter "H" for hipposexual.
>>76869241Hippos dont process plants in the same way as we do. Do you have a three chambered stomach? Do you have a digestive tract the size of a hippo's with microbes meant to break down cellulose? Do you spend 8 hours a day eating plants? No, because you're a fucking retarded monkey with an min-maxed omnivirous system which CANT BREAK DOWN CELLULOSE.
>>76870182LMAO>>76869241The third photi with the muscles look so good , damn , such a beast , wow...
