and those numbers ARE exaggerated… i reckon AVERAGE IS 222lbs… 2 plates a side… gotta be. It SHOULD be more… but 225.
I think 3 plates is impressive, and 4 is great. Any more than that is a pure strength trainer, NOT “just” a bodybuilder.

Tell that to the majority of the guys competing in the O.

I said thats what average SHOULD be … hence the caps in my original post. 225 is cool, but thats easily attainable by anyone training seriously.

Unless you’re a lean 250 or so, you really don’t need 50 grams of protein post-workout. 20 is actually plenty for most people at that time, but we all like to think “I need more protein than other people!”
By the way, the protein hydrolosate will be more effective than whey concentrate or isolate, yes. Don’t forget it also has a bunch of BCAAs in there.
Are you one of the people that believe the body can only absorb and utilize 20g of protein at a time?
To the OP, I’d stick with 40+ grams post workout. Just my opinion.[/quote]
No, I just know that there exists such a thing as the point of diminishing returns. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. Going much past it, while it will give you better results, will increase the cost much faster in proportion to the addidtional results. I just assumed he was a regular person who would prefer not to throw away gobs of money to take 4 servings of Surge after a workout because he “needs” 80 grams of protein.
Go ahead, load up on protein, but that’s what your PWO MEAL is for, not your shake. The shake just gets things started.
I can do 8 plates. but I weigh 245.
Still a nice lift fastbat.
