I always see people talking about protein powder and I'm wondering if it's necessary to make gains? Does it make it easier to make gains?

Some people would rather just have something that takes 2 mins to make and consume rather than cooking a chicken breast etc. several times a day
Brandon Butler
Feels good knowing that at 6'2 250lbs I could crush those two dyel manlets
Juan Flores
It makes it easier for me. I eat slot, but 210+ grams of protein a day is a bitch.
Thomas Wood
>i could easily beat up the fighter in the world
pure delusion
Owen Flores
It isn't necessary but it's a lot more convenient to just mix up a shake and get 25g of protein or whatever and down it on the go
Jose Wilson
if you don't train you don't have a chance
i bet you have a glass chin anyway
Hudson Powell
Why would anyone need more than 120 of protein a day?
Xavier Gomez
>the fighter in the world
If you mean the 'best fighter' you're sorely mistaken.
He's gonna get crushed by khabib and would get raped by any half decent middle weight+
Bentley Johnson
Without fail.
Lincoln Bell
Why do fighters always have flat unaesthetic chests?
Elijah Green
Because we don't waste our time training vanity muscles to impress the 4/10 skanks that inhabit your social circle.

It depends on your body weight. Some published guides recommend 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. Not that we all train like SEALS, but its interesting to note this is the same daily allowance prescribed in The Navy Seal Nutrition Guide.
Brandon Fisher
>the military recommends it so it must be good
when will this meme die?
Henry Davis
Written by two PhD nutritionists and a medical doctor. I'll take the book's advice over user's advice any day. And the figure appears in numerous other publications.
Jordan King
IN all fairness, the book does say 0.6 to 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. I was referencing the high end.
Jose Gonzalez
they weigh more than 120lbs
Bentley Bell
Doesn't chest help with striking power?
Jace Ross
B J Penn at his best > Connor McManlet at his best
Samuel Roberts
there's a protein obsession thx to supplement shills
you do need protein(duh)
0.8-1.6 grammes per kilo you weigh are what's usually recommended
you can get this with normal food
protein powders dont have magic powers
if you want to add some extra protein to your diet without adding extra carbs or fat they are useful
Joshua Lee
GSP>both
Fedor>all
Hunter Fisher
GSP was the most boring fighter in UFC history. He won most of his matches by lying on top of his opponents and running out the clock.
Ryder Brooks
Striking properly utilizes the entire body in the movement so yes, technically chest does help with striking power.
That said fighters typically don't have a big chest because it doesn't really help all that much
Isaiah Cook
yeah, they help the fighter, but it weights a fucking lot more than it helps, so its easier to have a flat chest and fight with skinny manlets than having a huge chest aesthetic chest and fighting dudes that could beat you
Justin King
Chest helps, but not as much as triceps, core, and legs. Left on its own the chest will be much less developed than other muscles, visually exaggerating the effect.
Kevin Phillips
Not necessarily. It's just cheap and convenient. So if its a choice between "powder" and "insufficient protein" then yes, it will help with gains. If you'd otherwise be obtaining sufficient protein from your diet adding it won't help and dropping other protein sources to make room for it might actually hurt.
