Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead

Is collagen okay?

Chile I hope so. I stick to bone broth for that extra boost, but I definitely got some marine collagen recently and I’d like to use it

Big fan of Broccoli… steamed with some cheese


I hate lettuce and it doesn’t do shyt for you anyway, so I grill up some spinach or use it as a replacement for lettuce on salads

I don't have the traditional set plan, I focus more on sculpting, breathing and activating each muscle -

---

For legs:

I don't squat heavy or use the traditional squat bar. Also I don't max out so take this with a grain of salt.

I use the padded squat bar with forward handles that puts more emphasis on the quads than glutes - 185lbs in 4 sets of 10.

If I were to use the regular squat bar - maybe 205 to 225.

I incorporate lunges, glutes, calf raises, leg press, leg extensions with 10 plates so that's why I don't max out so I can't really tell how much I truly lift.

---

For chest:

Incline - 185 lbs - 4 sets of 10 or more

Flat - 205 to 215 - 4 sets of 10 or more - I'll sneak in maybe 7 reps with 225 in there.

I do other variations of tri's and chest exercises including dips, dumbbells, flies and 60 or more diamond pushups.

As I got older, I learned maxing out can create adverse affects including paralysis on the body because you lose bone density vs muscle mass.

You're vetted upper for upper body strength but you gonna need to hit them legs more breh. Aim for 1.5x bodyweight.

I have the same brand but use isoflex - pineapple coconut

Scary.

Even in my lifting days, tried to avoid powders and supplements. Those things are really designed for pros , and regular lifters are better off designing a better diet if they need more protein.

When I first started taking my fitness seriously, I was popping 2 shakes, 40 grams of protein a day. It definitely will bulk you up, but quite honestly I got in the best shape of my life a year-year and a half ago at 39-40 just focusing on the diet without the extra protein. It ain't sexy, but chicken breast, salmon, etc got me exactly where I needed to be without drinking a nasty shake.

This lead ish got me not wanting to drink another shake again.

Yup again it's a supplement. It's supposed to fill in the gaps. The bigger the gap in your daily protein needs the more you'll need to drink.

I use to lift heavier on squats but prefer full form (going all the way down), breathing, overall mobility and focusing more on my cardio.

I do cardio everyday but heavier squats at 41 would have an adverse reaction to me. Plus Tuesdays and Fridays are leg days.

 

[Strapped]

Never fukked with protein powders. The body isn't supposed to take all that influx of protein anyway.

Seasons greetings muthafuka

I guess we should just be fat ass, lazy slobs out here instead

Eating powder milk to gain weight is a shortcut for lazy people

I use Transparent Labs brehs.

They're one of the brands that tested positive for lead.
