100% true. Not surprised my post got down voted though. I can attest as a natural lifter. I worked out like an animal continuously and didn't gain much in the first 5-6 yrs. Then I got with a lifting partner who was big on protein. Once I started getting my 1lb per body weight I blew up.

new research is showing post workout....can consume and absorb way way more. and many of the studies that show "no significant difference" when people go on very high protein....well if you actually look at the numbers...might not be significant to the scientist but the numbers are significant for lifters. Talking like 1/2lbs of muscle and sometimes more being considered "not statistically relevant" which is blasphemy.

best gains i have ever gotten was when i was following doggcrapp in my early 20s. was eating 400g of protien a day and only shakes i had were post workout. Did just like Dante said and made amazing gains using lean ground beef and chicken breast. i would even wash the ground beef in boiling water to remove as much fat as possible and then flash fry it again in a hot pan. not the best tasting but holy shite i made gains like crazy.
