Choosing The Right Foods: Protein Sources!
Amino Acids and Muscle Growth
Protein that comes from food sources is a vital part of your diet. Protein is made up of amino acids which your body uses to rebuild muscle. When you workout you cause trauma to your muscle fibers, and you can only build muscle when your body repairs those torn muscle fibers. Without a sufficient amount of protein in your diet, you won't recover from your workout and you won't make any progress during your 12 week bulking period.
