Jeremy Lin looks like Rocky! Diet code to increase muscle strength and explosive power

"Harvard boy" Jeremy Lin's shooting performance in the US NBA is amazing. He demonstrates the basketball player's superb moves of "quick stop, quick jump, and quick shot" on the court. In particular, his instantaneous explosive power and muscle endurance are amazing, just like "Rocky". One can't help but wonder: How does he develop such real kung fu skills?

Basketball players need to possess high speed, high explosive power, high coordination, high confrontation and high skills, so when training, they often use increasing muscle strength as the basis for developing these comprehensive abilities. Therefore, how athletes strengthen their muscle strength is a very important lesson, and Jeremy Lin is no exception. In particular, muscle strength is an important factor in improving athletic performance. Muscle strength training can increase muscle mass, strength and explosive power, which helps avoid injuries to muscles, ligaments and bones during fighting, grabbing, collisions and collisions, thereby improving competitive advantage.

Wang Jinkun, chairman of the Taiwan Nutrition Society, said that protein is the best nutrient for increasing muscle. Because athletes need to consume a lot of calories, protein is easily lost and must be replenished at any time. (Photo courtesy of Amway).

Wang Jinkun, chairman of the Taiwan Nutrition Society, said that protein is the best nutrient for increasing muscle, and protein also helps repair muscle, blood, bone and skin tissue. Protein accounts for 30% of total calories. The average person only needs to consume about 150 grams of protein a day to meet the Department of Health's national balanced nutrition standard. However, for an athlete who needs to consume a lot of calories, 150 grams is definitely not enough, and he needs 2 to 3 times the amount (depending on the calorie demand of his sport). Take Jeremy Lin as an example, he needs to consume at least 300 grams or even 400 grams of protein a day to cope with such intensive training and competitions.

Jeremy Lin once said in an interview with the media that he must eat four eggs and a hamburger for breakfast every day. He also loves to eat chicken. Even when he is in a bad mood, he can eat 40 spicy chicken wings in one breath. In addition, he also consumes high-protein supplements during training, such as "high-protein shakes", which shows that Jeremy Lin attaches great importance to protein. With his height of 191cm and weight of 91kg, especially the proportion of his muscles throughout his body, it can be said that he is a perfect match.

Wang Jinkun said that natural high-quality protein is very important for ordinary people and even athletes. Because athletes need to consume a lot of calories, protein is easily lost and must be replenished at any time. Our daily diet includes eggs, milk, chicken, beef, pork, fish, and soybeans, which are all natural high-quality proteins. After eating high-quality proteins, we still need to exercise to promote enzymes and hormones in the body to generate muscles. It can also be said that exercise is a catalyst for muscle formation.

It is worth noting that if you consume a lot of protein or high protein but do not exercise, it will enter the joint metabolism of carbohydrates and fat, and make you fat. It may even increase the workload of the liver and kidneys and increase the loss of calcium in the urine, which can easily cause calcium deficiency. Therefore, not everyone needs an excessive or high-concentration protein diet.
