[QUOTE="John Lark, post: 413498, member: 52693"] From my experience working with a rake of rugby players - protein is in fact the least of your worries. We have had guys putting some serious bulk using 0.8g per lb of protein a day a one of those meals was from a vegetarian base. Focus on upping your carb intake and getting as strong as hell. Most of the carbs should come from hypoallergenic sources such as brown rice, spuds, sweet potatoe, yams and squash and not gluten containing foods like bread and pasta (unless gluten free). 2-3g per lb should do it. Also knock back 2-3 tbsp of good fats at every meal. The bottom line is this - are you getting stronger at every training session? No - then work on this. How much bulkier do you think you will be squatting 60kg x 10 compared to 140kg for 10? Good Luck! John [url]http://www.fitnessforrugbyblog.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
