More Protein, More Gainz

It's no secret that protein plays a major role in repairing and rebuilding muscle. That's because the building blocks of protein, amino acids, are what come together to form your hard-earned muscle. But when the discussion turns to the optimal protein intake to maximize muscle growth, things quickly gets muddy. You'll find zealots swearing by numbers as various as a gram per kilo or pound of bodyweight, two grams, or even more. Further confusing things are all those legends about bodybuilders of yore crushing man-sized piles of eggs, fish, and steak on the daily.
