The perfect bicep workout and bodybuilding regime for the perfect body all rests on having a clear, focused long term strategy. We cannot expect overnight success and as we are not Terminator type machines, daily gym visits and excess training are not an option either (nor are they healthy).
Part of our long term strategy will undoubtedly include a healthy, balanced diet. A diet based on high protein and high energy foods and complemented by a steady flow of good old-fashioned water no doubt.
One wonder food that should be part of any bicep workout diet is the one and only egg. The egg is a wonder of nature – the thing that a chicken will happily sacrifice for our own gain. Yet many people simply do not know why eggs are so important to bodybuilders and people looking to gain lean muscle mass and we shall now consider why.
In particular, we are talking about egg white protein. Protein is the second most important feature of our fitness diet to water. Protein consumed in the right way can have excellent properties for lean muscle. Let’s face it; this is what we are all ultimately looking to gain.
If we go back to thinking about eggs, the albumen (the real term for egg white) is made up of six grams of high quality protein, with not an ounce of fat. Whilst it is packed full of protein, it is the fact that it is made up of different types of protein that make it so unique.
So if we are going to make egg whites a permanent and prominent feature of our muscle building diet, should we eat it as a whole food or consume it as an egg white protein supplement (typically a powder)?
The answer to this is that is really shouldn’t matter and will all come down to personal preference. Eating eggs whites in their liquid form (provided that they are cooked so as to avoid the nasty bug Salmonella which would keep you away from your strongman training for days) are cheap and easy to get hold of. You can make an egg white omelette in minutes and even add meat and vegetables for added nutrients.
When cooking the egg whites you simply need to make sure that the egg is cooked through as this will fully unlock the amino acids hidden inside. However take care not to go overboard as this will ruin the protein – we are not looking to make rubbery scrambled eggs as this will not benefit your bicep workout.
One the other hand, egg white protein powder supplements can be an easy alternative in that you can guzzle down a protein milkshake before your bicep workout and not only enjoy the convenience, but the taste. It may also be a lot less hassle than cracking a significant number of eggs, for example, one dose of a typical egg white protein can contain up to 7 liquid egg whites. None of the popular protein supplements are likely to break the bank either.
The choice really is up to you. The most important thing is to make eggs part of your diet for lean muscle mass today.
