Jfc, that's got to be a quarter of his recommended Daily Calorie Allowance At the very least a quarter because he's a little pipsqueak who can only manage to burn 18 cals on pizza night at Planet Fitness where he thinks a treadmill gives him biceps for days. He has the dietry habits of a 6 year left alone in a sweet shop.
That post-workout shake is BOLLOCKS. 19 g of protein? Fuck me, minimum you should be taking in at least 35-40 after a good workout. Then again, that’s for people who ACTUALLY work out, via lifting weights and other things that aren’t “clomp along on the treadmill for half an hour at an abysmal speed, while oozing more greasily than usual and staring at the arse of the girl on the machine in front of you.”
That drink is rubbish. It’s just sugar. Get a blender bottle, a tub of chocolate whey protein mix and some fat-free milk and actually commit to the idea. It wouldn’t be expensive or difficult either, and he could drink it as easily as anything else.
What am I even saying? Why does he need PROTEIN after a workout? That’s specifically done by people who are building muscle. The protein is drunk during the anabolic post-workout stage to boost muscle development that has been stimulated by lifting and resistance training. The rule when working on building muscle is to take in about 1g of protein per pound you weigh, so that little chocolate drink he has, which lists 19g of protein as “37%” of his daily protein, is way way off. I’m sure he believes <60g of protein is all he needs to build muscle, because he’s a drooling mong.
Chief Runs-On-Treadmills has no chance of
ever coming close to putting on a scrap of muscle with his workouts. All he’s doing is working off 200-ish calories on the treadmill, then putting them right back on plus more, via a children’s choccy drink. Meanwhile his muscles waste away from the cardio-only routines. This is the stupidest thing I’ve seen in a while. This is the perfect workout regimen for a person looking to have spindly, scrawny limbs, a flat sagging arse and a little potbelly.
What really chafes me is that this is all
basic info you can get from any exercise site online for free. This is not some complicated secret. Even fitness mum blogs will talk about protein shakes and weight lifting. He has internet access and all the time to look this up! And yet his narcissism and fear of the big scary lads in the weight room means he refuses to look up how to maximize his workouts and instead oozes onto the treadmill and tells himself it’s just as good, any kind of physical movement whatsoever is fine for building muscle. I wonder if he looks at marathon runners and wonders why they’re not jacked af.
tl;dr fitness sperg:
russ is taking in far too little protein via children’s drinks instead of protein shakes, and he continues to waste all his workout time on pointless cardio that will never build muscle so he has no reason to refuel with protein immediately afterward anyway. He burns a small amount of calories, negates even that benefit by drinking sugar, repeat forever.
