Star Gunter’s muscle-building recipes

　　IFBB professional bodybuilder Gunter Schleikamp has extensive experience in building big muscles. He is 1.88 meters tall and is a top professional bodybuilder. When he participated in the Mr. Olympia competition in 2000, he weighed 130 kilograms and during the rest period, he weighed 144 kilograms. Gunter has a La-2 exercise machine at his home in California and a dog named Shakespeare who follows his movements every day to practice this knowledge.

Gunter's wife, Carmen, prepares low-fat snacks, turkey, tuna and beef sandwiches for him. Gunter recalled his early experience participating in bodybuilding competitions and his unique diet plan, and said with emotion: "Many people go to the gym to train hard in order to make their muscles grow bigger. When I was 16 years old in Germany I didn’t know much about nutrition. Now, I attribute 60-70% of my success to nutrition, and I'm still learning. ”

Gunter believes that good nutrition is more important than training. He told us that the most important thing in building big muscles is to eat some type of protein every half hour to three hours. Because the body can store carbohydrates and fats, but protein is different. In this way, the body will receive a continuous supply of amino acids and thus remain in an anabolic state. This is a favorable environment for muscle growth.

Gunter also said: “Some people think they can get results by eating 4 times a day, but I was very concerned about training results, so I decided to increase the nutrition to the highest level in order to get the best results. That’s not enough, especially for a professional bodybuilder. ”The California immigrant eats six to seven meals a day, adding up to 4,500 to 5,000 calories. But the more he eats, the leaner he becomes and the more muscle he gains. His views on fat are also very different from before.
