👨 About Me
Hi my name is JT & this is my story
I remember going to the gym 5 days & sometimes even every day / 7 days a week for 2-3 hours & even though I achieve a physique better than 80% of gym goers I was not satisfy with it because the amount of effort I was putting in & out the gym.
I was tired of that bullshit so I started to listen to Mike Mentzer & Dorian Yates, implemented what they preach ( workout less, train to failure, eat a well balanced diet & rest to let the growth process happens ) now I’m stronger & bigger than ever working out 3-4 x a week for 45min - 1hr max = 4 hours a week, now I got time for my family, for myself, to growth my business & enjoy life while still looking & feeling amazing & that’s what I want to share with you 🚀

He's absolutely right, I agree. Eat a well balanced diet, train hard, sleep and progress. No need to wake up in the middle of the night to get your 5th protein feeding of the day haha 🙈 However, we later discovered the thermic effect of protein being 20-30% which makes protein really closer to a net 3 calories per gram. So, if I'm being pedantic, excessive protein will result in less adipose tissue than any other macronutrients. Still agree with Mike that it's overrated for putting on muscles. You dont need 1g/lbs of bodyweight as people make it seem. Thanks for the great video man!

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

Yeah bro, lot of people talking about crazy amount of protein per day

Facts 😂

[@taylenday]

The whole reason that milk of all kinds is comprised the way it is, already proves Mentzer's claims. It's primary use is to produce growth in infants, it's mostly liquid, with quite some sugars and fats and proteins but there is a balance of all those macro (and micro) nutrients without an overemphasis on protein. Nature is more honest than corporations.

[@taylenday]

Milk of all kinds meaning milk in it's original form.

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

Totally bro

[@boblangford5514]

Actually, human breast milk does not have that much protein. Only about 5 grams of protein per 8 ounces.

The scientist of Bodybuilding! Mr Mike Mentzer 👏👏👏.

[@Chris-ui1nh]

I've eaten aroung 80-90 grams of protein at 230lbs , that was during my bodybuilding days. Now i complete in arm wrestling and do personal training I still eat what's considered low to most eating around 70-80 grams a day protein.

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

Amazing, thanks for sharing bro 💪🏽

[@dangerdavefreestyle]

Well im not sure if 16 extra calories or 1 gram of protein is all thats required. in a lab in a petri dish or with a calorimeter one can observe such chemistry and physics, but the way the human body actually works is to be discovered and proven with experiments and real life results. But he does put into perspective you dont need protein shakes. And dont need to eat crazy caloric surpluses....And most of what he says I agree with. Mikes head is screwed on alot tighter than most bodybuilders.

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

For sure bro

[@nygeek6471]

And in fact we know that the body breaks down muscle and builds muscle constantly, just like it does with bones

[@RajB92J]

I really really wish he was still alive. We are missing out on a lottt and its very hard to come out of it..

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

Yeah, but follow Dorian Yates to keep learning about this at this time

[@BigstickNick]

I like how he already confronted my thought of…well, I’ll just drink a lot of water 😂

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

[@mike.mentzer_enjoyer]

Mentzer told us to eat 60% carbs in a diet for a reason, and thats what the nutritional scientists advise people. Carbs are the most important thing for your muscles, your muscles are 78% water making carboHYDRATES very important, you are literally dehydrating your muscles on a no carb diet which is why you also look drier but smaller mass wise. And yet so many people demonize carbs or act like its bad for you when Carbs are just as important as protein and fats, or even more. I once have been ganged up by a bunch of keto and carnivore diet fanboys when i said a fact about how important carbs are. The truth is you need to eat every type of food to be HEALTHY, cutting out any macro, food group in a diet is terrible for you, thats why you shouldnt follow any diet that makes you remove an entire macro.

[@roadstar499]

We all were made to believe we had to consume way more protein per day then needed from late 70s into the 2000s...all about selling supplements...

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

💯% bro, that’s all they care about 🤣

[@Starbreaker2012]

The key to a healthy diet is how much insulin, and consequently growth factors like IGF-1 are stimulated. Whilst Mike was right that a keto diet was deficient in carbohydrate, diets of above 20-30% of maintenance energy from carbohydrate are also unhealthy. Also, the amount of protein stated was in response to maligning fat, and is still twice as much as needed. Most of our energy should come from natural fat; 3:2 monounsaturated to saturated, which is relatively inert.

[@Sie93]

How much protein?

[@samuelhughes3779]

Good point though , No need for all this excess protein just train hard and eat healthy

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

You got it.

[@robranko5931]

Training is more important than diet 4 me..I drink 4 raw eggs a day take a small shake n drink 6 liters of beer./carbs..

[@flydutchmen1754]

So for example I'm 60kg and I want to grow muscle in the most sufficient way without fat or a little, how much protein should I get a day, and how much fat or carbohydrates?

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

.8 / 1g per body weight is idea Start low & increase if & when necessary.

[@training519]

@@MikeMentzerHITBearer I think you mean 1.6 to 2g, since he's talking in kg and not lbs, right?

Exactly. People just regurgitating the classic nonsense even after these videos lol.

@@training519 well that's a lot I find out that 0.5-1 g per kilo is enough, I'm raw vegan.

[@boblangford5514]

@@flydutchmen1754 You'll need at least 1.5g/kg if you want to grow muscle. I don't know what your caloric maintenance is. I could give you a rough estimate of your macros if you told your gender, age, and height.

If I'm 236, how much protein do I need to build muscle

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

236 x .8= 188 Something around that or a bit less to start, than adjusted as you get more aware of your body needs

[@PaulnJenna]

But that’s NOT what these videos are saying!! What if it’s 236 at 45% bodyfat? Totally different to 236 at 15% bodyfat. Should be calculated on lean body mass at least.

[@lordtimothy9740]

100 % correct

[@CC-ww2wp]

I disagree with the excess calories, always leading to weight gain. Type one diabetics who are void of insulin can eat thousands of calories of fat and protein, and not gain any weight, until they eat carbohydrates and have to inject insulin. The more calories they eat of carbs the more insulin they would need the more weight they would gain. But the body can’t store energy as fat when insulin is low, so an excess of protein and fat if your insulin is low, will not result in waking because that’s where your ketones come from which is just fat energy that wasn’t stored was burned up, metabolized, and then urinated out and breathed out through your breath.

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

So what you’re saying is that people can eat with type 1 diabetes, can eat unlimited fats & protein and not gain weight? 😭🤣

[@DrewbattleTheGreat]

The problem is when you’re trying to diet down it’s hard to get 150 grams of protein under 3000 calories and eat a balanced diet. I’m done stressing about .8 to 1 pound.

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

It’s not hard to eat 150g protein under 3k cals at all

[@DrewbattleTheGreat]

@@MikeMentzerHITBearer it’s not as easy is it seems. Especially if your trying to eat differ foods

[@ryanmichaelpower]

Pretty simple tbh. Eat 8-10 eggs for breakfast, which should be about 50-60g protein. 700-900 cals. Eat a wrap or something with a chicken breast, which is about 54g protein and 290 cals. For dinner make something like Burritos, Burgers, Lasagna and include 300g of 10% fat ground beef which would be 60g protein and about 530 cals. That’s 164-174 grams of protein, total is 1720 cals from the protein then whatever else you have alongside with it.

[@andreistanciulescu7820]

@@ryanmichaelpower who the fk is gonna eat 10 eggs for breakfast? no one in their right mind should do that because that's not a balanced diet. considering the WHO recommends 0.8 g of protein / kg of body weight for regular folk, if you are training to build muscle just make it 1 gram / kilo (not 1 g/lbs like the supplements companies tell you). it's literally what Mentzer always said.
