@Darshan. I really don’t think they would. They’d still need above-average levels of protein, but they aren’t producing the same level of microtears in the muscle fibers, so there’d be less repairing (and growth) going on. It’s more about neural adaptations for those guys.
Hope that helps.

Should a powerlifter /weightlifter purely trying to increase strength through more neural activation of existing muscle than through hypertrophy also require this much protein? I know these guys get enough protein in any case. Just interested to know

@Stephen. I’ve looked into the claims about “dangers” of protein consumption and they are baseless…except those with existing kidney problems. Apart from that there is no research to suggest anything dangerous at all.

Thanks for another interesting article. Comes at a great time for me as I plan my macros for the next few weeks!

Is there any solid research on any problems associated with these levels of protein consumption? I’ve read from various sources that suggest much lower levels (about half) are as much as we should ingest. As someone who has been told they may have a compromised liver, it’s really difficult to decide what level to aim for!

A couple of links that throw up some alternative numbers…

@Martin. It’s 1g per Pound total body weight. The study found 0.62g per KG of total body weight, not lean mass. Hope that helps.

@Justin. Total body weight, brother.

Many thanks
Justin
