Why do this people talk about protein as if it was steroids or something?
Jakob Buche I was wondering the same thing.
Steve O'Kane You know thats complete bullshit don't you? there isn't any evidence where people have had diseases for eating "too much" protein. That is a myth.
Jakob Buche It's a waste of money, just learn to eat right, train sensibly and more importantly rest properly.
Much better buy steroids than protein shake.
Steve O'Kane the most it will do is give you kidney stones fuck out of here...
just snorted a line of whey, off to smoke some bcaa's
Ady P 😂😂😂
stop. one day you'll start doing more dangerous things like creatine, it's hard to go back once you reach that point, i've been cutting 4 months
UrMemLel hahhahaha
Lmaoo
Brb gonna mainline some creatine.
This video has : skinny people talking about protein, deadlifting on a smith machine and dumb statements
Deadlifting on the smith? Gotta see that
He isn't just on a smith machine. The excecution is also complete garbage
It's also got buff dudes who don't know how to throw a hook. Fails all around lol.
He says: to be honest, nobody exactly knows how much protein they should be taking...
I assume he is talking about himself..
Just D Ik how to throw a hook I’m just not flexible at all
Boys be talking about protein like it’s crack
Steroids
Mama
Those amino acids make crack look like candy.
Dude, this video makes it seem like protein is like hopping on cycle.
Kinda shows the level of education in the general population on fitness and health.
Yeah they making it sound like taking a protein shake is like taking a steroid. lol
@@shaheemgirling3972 If you start experimenting with protein you may as well get on gear.
Ikr! Seriously… mass media as always exaggerating everything!
now a man can’t even take a protein without being judged?
@@HenrikBSWE😂
Very weird yes
Oh, just wait until they figure out what creatine is.
DEVIL'S BROCCOLI
I ordered some recently is it any good bro ?
@@omar8s bruh once you take a hit of that creatine you can never go back bro
Josh Leland
Did you see big improvements bro ?
No lol creatine is a hydrated tool building muscle is simple people just mix up the complex body building things. Eat more calories train with intensity rest simple as that
This is so idiotic it's borderline satirical.
I eat coco pops for protein and water for carbs, and cardio to build my forearms.
You should try water for protein, playing football to build your back and eating paper for carbs
James Wood 😂😂😂
Keep up the good woek
This guy has more chance of building his arms lifting the spoon to his mouth at breakfast 😂😂😂
Did that routine everyday for 2 years now I'm jacked
“I’m going all in” lmao I’m done with this video
lmaooo
The other day in my gym this dude came up to me and whispered “hey man do you think there’s guys in here on protein”
Yeah, and nowadays they make those powders in flavors that obviously will make children want to try it.. Chocolate.. Fudge.. Strawberry.. The list goes on. Imagine if we let cigarette companies get away with that? Like Marlboro-sugar-fudge-apple-ice cream in some colorful packaging. Also, children to parents who eat protein rich food are more likely to start eating protein rich food themself.
@@HenrikBSWE first of all, they have flavors so that they're even bearable to drink. Second of all, how is it fair to compare cigarettes to protein, and whats so bad with children taking protein powder in the first place?
Protein shakes suck 🤢
He’s doing 20lb pull downs and doing straight cardio obviously he isn’t goin to gain anything
Total funny I agree. I Do 40 kg pull downs and cardio for a slim figure.. !! Ha dentist made laugh
@@tantramassagedubai 40 kg lmao fucking WEAK
@@eksquisite She literally said she does them for a slim figure, did you even bother reading the comment? Idiot
@@eksquisite It's more than you lift bro, chill please.
@@tomsim22 i do 70 for reps bitch boy wusup
This is a joke, right?
Hope so!
Not at all, protein will kill you!
@@KingMierda too much will
Jajaj Djdjdj Too much of anything will kill you, even water
@@KingMierda exactly
theres nothing wrong with natural protein shakes.. the problem is with people who think just taking a shake will get them result. if you dont put the work at the gym and eat right, nothing that you take will help you
I dont even think anyone thinks that... who doesnt think you need to work out to build muscle?
It’s protein for Christ sake are you heating your self it’s protein
What most people want to achieve will never get, because most people want to build the kind of physique only possible through testosterone doping.
There’s nothing right with protein shakes either. Try not taking them for a month, see what happens...
@@BigBadMF43 it takes 3+ years of training to get visible abs and chiseled look for average person. Steroids get you there in 6 months.
all these aesthetic guys and girls in this vid are using juice though. This dude is TOTALLY clueless lol
Orange or apple juice? Please tell me quick I need to know!
@@blazer_shrek7289 multi vitamin actually
why does that matter in the context of the video, it doesn't
@@bernardoferreira9710 exactly even if you have steroids or literally any kind of proformance enhances it doesn’t take away the hard work and effort they’ve put in and also their knowledge
@@bernardoferreira9710 it does, people look at them and think that is achievable by just using whey protein lol, once you realise that most of these guys are on steroids, you can feel better about yourself not getting that big naturally.
When the news is *utterly clueless* about something as basic as a macronutrient.
3:42 "experimenting with protein" 😂😂 He says it like its something you don't normally consume
strength training, progressive overload, calorie surplus, 0.8-1g of protein per pound of body weight keep it simple people. the whole world isn't a conspiracy
True well said
So many people think there are secrets about losing fat or gaining muscle but really it's simple as hell, you just got to be consistent.
That is 100% true
I know, I'm watching this thinking what the hell is going on.
Easy, Police will be knocking at your door! Educated people, are dangerous!
this is a must read for any gym goer. Protein farts: the unspoken side of getting ripped
You'll know if u "overdose" on protein too. Those runs to the bathroom will smell up your whole house.
Real shit
@Mari fiber.
That’s why you buy whey isolate instead
Not only are they addicted to drinking protein--they're also addicted to crossing their arms when being interviewed lmao
3:47 this guy pulled this piece of metal just to put it in the same spot lol
What a joke. You guys should be ashamed to call yourself news
This documentary is so bad and uninformative
Yeah fake news.
Lol y’all so triggered. The ending even debunked all the protein shake nonsense because the dentist gained muscle by just eating normal food. It’s fun to see you idiotic fools so triggered
@@studio3js196 Well the ending didn't debunk anything, he probably just had better form on his lifts and used more weight to build more muscle. Protein powder is no different to food at all. You're more of an idiot for actually believing all this.
Matt 😂😂😂 did you really just say that? What an idiot lol
So much fail in one video.
Guys are literally turning into girls: they're all about appearance and health. A real man is about intellect, tough kindness, spiritual strength, courage, that sort of things. Girls and gays on the other hand should feel free to be as vain as they want. It's what they're all about anyways.

I've been a struggling creatine addict for a year now
Damn i got a bcaa addiction i hope you get better . bro say no to injecting creatine
Josue R go ahead my man
thank you man you unironically reminded me to take my creatine today
@@emanuel1281 😂😂😂😂😂i laughed out loud
I just got sucked into that 😱😂
2:26 mans got mixed grip deadlift on a smith machine with the shittiest form possible
Franze bahaha did u see his knees and how his back rotated around the bar very flexible and impressive 😍
He’s going all in😂
Mans gonna fuk is back real good
And with low ass weight
"Im going all in"
It’s really heart warming to see that other people have the same issues as me, also I have an addiction to complex carbs! Not to mention all the water I drink and damn what am I to do about the amount of healthy fats I eat! God help me
it sick
😢
Yeah, I've been breathing so much air, too.
Deadlifts in the fkn smith-machine?!😂
Duh where else
@@ralfnuggs165 haha free bar weights XD, not Inside the Smith :)
JP I was joking
😀 I do pulls ups on a Smith on a few eggs and fish. Look how big I am.. funny video very deceptive
I was quite pleased when I got to minus 15. on the Smith pull ups. Decending weights .
Now guys dont laugh at me
3:49 Takes pin out, "considers going lighter" "remembers he's in the midst of a full blown protein cycle", PUT IT BACK WHERE IT WAS
“protein cycle” lmao
He really had protein rage in that moment
Protein cycle... omg these people are so clueless it's kinda funny
@@MrTripleXXX he was joking
The guy taking 250g/day but OHP w/ 15lb dumb bells haha
Yes I use 15lb dumb bells. So funny
He needs to push a little harder though start doing compound movements. Shoulder press with just the bar was hard for me and it made me grow so it’s not really the weight it’s the level your at. But you have to lift heavy enough to get muscle hypetrophy I can’t spell it lol
@@turtlegaming7756 Very interesting.
@@turtlegaming7756
Thank you that was very helpful. But was told to do more reps per set lower weights. I do a lot of swimming but don't build much muscle. 🙂
@Master YIMO
We try to build a nice shape! 🤔🙄
2:26 damn his deadlift form made my whole body cry
I was listening to this as I knew it would be cringe on a different level. After watching someone deadlift in a whatever that thing was made me lose faith in humanity.
Don’t miss the classic ”addicted to water” and ”addicted to air”
Next on BBC “news”: bodybuilders and athletes addicted to calories.
Lol the dentist having 120g + protein a day and he likes to run lol
Cardio kills your gainz
Isnt he supposed to understand basic biology and physiology considering he is a dentist? They still take those subjects in dental school lol
I'm the Tengri yup if you do cardio near the same time as strength training
I'm the Tengri lol cardio is actually a modern day torture device I’d rather shoot myself
He sounds no clue on how to gain weight and muscles lol
Talking about Protein like its a class A hahah, wait until they start on Pre-Workouts
AndyG TOUCHÉ
or creatine, lmfao
"You guys are massive! you must take loads of supplements" -- Okay so this has gotta be satire lol
LMFAO
“Are you still taking protein supplements”
Him: “Yes”
Reporter: “WHHAAAAAAAT! Why!”
acting like he’s taking cocain
Lmao, these skinny people acting like they eat protein all day.
Whey protein isn’t any better than real food. I just use it for its convenience. Makes it easy to hit my macros.
Not one person said they was addicted in this saved your self 30 minuets
First he needs to learn how to deadlift
“You see how much your friends taking and you take roughly that much”.
I couldn’t have made a worse statement if it came out my ass
*Jeff Cavileire from Athlean-X has entered the chat*
Lmao
This is actual cancer. It's genuinely embarrassing this was broadcast on the BBC
Utterly pathetic 'documentary' about protein. The understanding on display here is simply cringeworthy.
2:26...is he dead lifting??
Rohith K Sajeev on a smith machine
@@dunbass7149 🤣
Is he tryna break his back or his legs ?
What the fuck his legs though😂😂😂😂
Yeah he’s going all in
3:47, he just put on the same weight right there 😂😂😂
Dude in the thumbnail just wearing a training bra, respect.
I dont think hes a dude
shouldnt that fcking dentist at least have some basic understanding of human biology given his medical background. this is so cringe.
My frd is a dentist. He only knows a lot about chics lol
cudur They are suppose to take care of your teeth dumbass, not your training schedule
Swagster McDingDong all dentistry degrees require a level bio and it's quite competitive so a good grade at that.
Yeah they really should considering they have a unrestricted DEA license to prescribe medication in the US. They only have to take some very basic anatomy and physiology classes...nothing near the level of training compared to actual medical doctors.
I suspect the knowledge of biology and body learned by for example dentist and nutritionist is different. Dentists probably focus more from medical view I.e veins in body, heart anatomy etc while nutritionist will learn the importance of protein carbs fat and the way they are metabolised in the body; how much to take etc, also the researches they read and study is probably different.
the dentist has the worst deadlift form.. my back is hurting watching it
And my legs lamo😂😂😂
He making no kinds of gains
Hit the gym and you suddenly become a human biology expert
Next on BBC Newsbeat: Addicted to Air
A dentist who deadlifts on a smith-machine and thinks doing cardio will make him huge shouldn’t be acting as if he’s an expert on protein. This whole thing is stupid. At the end of the day, protein powder is still JUST PROTEIN!!! why do these idiots act like it’s some huge thing.
3:47 him putting it in the same weight
Haha
Lmao
5:31 my guy has a mousepad literally 1 cm away and still uses a table bro
you'd think the dentist would have taken some nutrition courses in college..... .8-1g per bodyweight is enough for athletes.
@Arcadi Moral he is talking 0.8-1 per pound which is roughly 1.8g per kg
Mr. Who gym rat oml nobody’s mirin do you even lift when u use the smith machine for heavy deadlifts
No amount of education can make you smarter.
I'm going all in and bought the biggest bag possible 🤣🤣 omg I had to pause it here for a bit 😂
As a protein dealer I have to say I'm more comfortable with my clients getting the stuff from me than from sketchy guys who have no clue about amino acids or even stretch their product with collagen
The garbage in this "documentary" is so ridiculous. Blaming protein powder for kidney stones? Are you kidding? Kidney stones are very commonly seen in emergency departments and i haven't seen a single bodybuilder with one yet. The majority of these patients are not fitness enthusiasts. The truth is the mechanism of stones is still poorly understood but you won't find crap in the literature about protein intake and stones.
Anecdotal nonsense is all this video is.
I saw the words "addicted", "Protein", "BBC".
That deadlift form made me puke
"Taking protein" 😂😂😂 ffs hardcore 🙈😂
I thought the title said “addicted to bbc” I’m high asf
This Video should just be deleted. Nothing informative.
he forgot to mention that the big lads in that gym is on steds.. eat clean. have a shake train hard. very easy
et clen, tren hard, anaver give up
And test your limits
Yhea just drink one protein shake and nothing else
Why are u here u clearly don’t lift accusing big gym lads to be on steroids not everyone big is on peds
Why do he call it synthetic protein? Most people will be getting whey protein, which is natural. Others will be getting protein from other sources such as casein, soy, etc, which also is natural. It's not a drug. Its a convenient protein rich food basically, which you are suppose to supplement your diet with.
There no such thing as a synthetic protein lol. Synthetic protein is an oxymoron.
This video seriously makes the UK look like a joke
@@starmorpheus The UK is a joke.
Just people who want to find something to complain about and regulate like a bunch of elementary school teachers.
wait until they find out that carbohydrates have a protein sparing effect
Omg I love your videos
The way the say “taking protein “ makes it sounds like they’re doing shots of tren lmao
19:27 "who does all this for you?" "My gf..."
Why don't they ever ask any actual bodybuilders
They finally do 18:00 minutes in if you can watch that long🙄
IKR. . . according to a random group of semi-fit women at a gym who know absolutely nothing. . .
Because they would be laughed at they have to choose actors
"Taking" protein its not a drug mate ffs
I can not believe my License Fee went to this
19:38 wow she is 22 (my age) and looks 30ish to me.
Its the protein man. Its like heroine
"protein is making a difference"
no dummy, the caloric surplus is.
oaksterdam no dummy, the calorie surplus AND the protein
@@Who-cu9eu let him get his damn beginner gains first lol.
I wouldn't be so sure that a caloric surplus is needed to build muscle, when you look at the studies, people who started "bulking", did put on some body mass, but it was mostly fat. If your goal is to get lean and big, you should pump up your protein to increase the effects of hypertrophy without putting on additional fat weight. You can cut and put on muscle at the same time, and yes, it's harder.
T0mm3n you can do it you just need a positive nitrogen balance which comes from having enough protein
@@T0mm3n That's not really an evidence, is it? If you're just trying to build muscle, you have to mainly focus on protein synthesis, and you can ignore other micronutrients. If you want to build fitness body, you can do both at the same time. There's no process of changing body fat to muscle mass. That's a point itself. If u want to give advice, do the research, don't take things as a proven, if you're told them by one buff dude in gym.
Supplements are exactly that. They are used to supplement your dietary lifestyle not replace it. Real food is always better but in a pinch or for a change there's nothing wrong with taking a protein supplement.
12:00 best part.... When you don't even realise that's not a protein shake, im guessing bcaa, protein shakes r thicker that that and does not have that bright color!!
U can get protein in that form a brand called wow hydrate does em although they are mixed with bcaa. Really good stuff
“What surprises me is he is still
Taking protein” why 😭😭🤣🤣🤣
I knew a guy started on 50grams protein a day then it escalated and finally 270g per day. He lost his marriage, his job and is now homeless and spends all his money he finds on protein.
I know that guy. He's also hooked on creatine. Started on capsules and progressed to bulk powder, sad.
Hit me up for the protein. Selling 20 a gram
“I’m not just going to start running. I’m not just going to start doing one day of badminton a week” why do you need protein for that lol
🙈 cringe....
How can someone be addicted to something which is essential to life?
In that case, I am addicted to oxygen!🤣
When ever I feel stupid I come and watch this video. Adds 100 iq points instantly
Best part of this entire video is watching this big guy hitting the heavy bag like a little girl. Arm punching all day long.
The BBC have left the comment section activated bit risky for them this is,,,,,,,,
Wow this is painful to watch
I was a stupidly small guy for my height, at 16 I was 6'1 and around 160lbs. So I was lanky. I slowed my cardio down to 10min cardio per day, increased the weights I worked out with when I could do 4 sets with 10reps. I ate around 120g of protein and maintained 3k healthy calories. Once I started using protein powder I DID increase my mass/muscle mass
That checks out. My understanding is that the appropriate protein intake for someone is based on body weight with 1 gram per pound of body weight / 2.2 grams per kilo is ideal maybe a little bit more if you're a high level bodybuilder or strongman.
I'm really struggling with whey addition, I used to just snort the isolate but now I'm jabbing BCAA's. Be careful and take care everyone.x
It’s been 3 years now. I wonder if the dentist has bulked up since 😂
"Experimenting" with protein xD This is gold this
"protein is part of the culture" 😂
4:12 "I think definitely the protein is making a difference, it has to be, because, well it better be because I paid money." yeh mate that is a sound logical way of thinking that pal.
"Synthetic protein"
🤦♂️
People honestly think that drinking protein without lifting is going to put on muscle?? Who are these people
Let's not forget that to build muscle we need all important foods, training and sleep..... More often people talking about only one of the there (protein) what about consistent training and minimum 7-8 hours of sleep. Guys, train hard, eat well and sleep well for proper recovery....
9hrs
14:00 did he just say synthetic protein😂😂😂😂
1:49 First World sensibility: “it was overwhelming to go from University to working 9h to 5h” MY GOD BE A MAN.
I'm more impressed by the 23 year-old dentist.
This video has to be for 12 year olds who have never been to the gym in their life
8:00 summed it up: All the gear & no idea
💥
nia Shields what u bench fella
This is hilarious, I had to check the comments as soon as I watched like 5mins😂 fuckinhell we need a 'addicted to creatine' episode next
Iv eaten 350+ grams of protein a day, I weigh 178 lbs. I don't think it's addictive, but protein is filling
"Do you feel bad..." Dude...they are adults that can read, right? If they buy the product, the are responsible for reading the directions.
I’ve been on a protein cycle my whole life
