Would Arnold have been bigger if he ate more than 1g protein/pound of bodyweight?

I'm just curious how the heck I'm supposed to get 650g of protein in me without drinking a gallon of shakes a day. I hit 320g a day, and not only is that a substantial amount of calories, but the cost is crazy! There's a kid on Instagram that says he gets 700g a day in WHOLE FOOD... Uhm, how..?

I've learned a few tricks like Greek yogurt with a scoop of protein powder, or protein breads/bagels with almond butter/whey topping - but no way can I feasibly reach that amount of protein.

I also have to wonder what the heck these guys kidneys look like too. No way can someone take in that much and not have renal problems over time.

Thanks u !! You sound like a man, like myself, that has more than just your mouth to feed at home. Food DOES get expensive, I have to agree.
Also, I do the same thing with protein powder, HW, but have heard that it isn't a great source of protein...at least I guess not as much as natural protein sources. I use it anyway tho, it's a financial thing for me.

There is a lot more information available today. Arnold could have put on 30 more pounds if he knew then what we know now.

Pretty sure he knew what he was doing difference today is bodybuilders are held to a higher freak status and have to mega dose hgh and slin. Back then the 1st form of hgh was some shit pulled from dead bodies that caused deformities. Plus synthol use is way extreme now everything is extreme beyond what we can relate too dont be fooled these pros take things too another level because they have to

The big difference is digestive enzymes that come from eating whole foods. I'm not super poor by any stretch of the imagination, but as I already spend around 250 a week on groceries, I can't imagine what the bill would be if I tried doubling my protein intake through steak/chicken/turkey/hamburger/fish/eggs.

That, and can you imagine the gas? I already save the nasty ones for the 'bros slapping each other's asses in the corner #driveby, I think I'd kill some poor bastards!

George farah kept his protein pretty low and got 7th place in the mr olympia. George farah only had one kidney so he claims to have utilized fats and carbs alot more. George is worth reading about he has some good advice about low protein diets if you ever have kidney problems.
