The anabolic response to protein ingestion during recovery from exercise has no upper limit in magnitude and duration in vivo in humans

[Hyperemia]

Summary​

The belief that the anabolic response to feeding during postexercise recovery is transient and has an upper limit and that excess amino acids are being oxidized lacks scientific proof. Using a comprehensive quadruple isotope tracerfeeding-infusion approach, we show that the ingestion of 100 g protein results in a greater and more prolonged (>12 h) anabolic response when compared to the ingestion of 25 g protein. We demonstrate a dose-response increase in dietary-protein-derived plasma amino acid availability and subsequent incorporation into muscle protein. Ingestion of a large bolus of protein further increases whole-body protein net balance, mixed-muscle, myofibrillar, muscle connective, and plasma protein synthesis rates. Protein ingestion has a negligible impact on whole-body protein breakdown rates or amino acid oxidation rates. These findings demonstrate that the magnitude and duration of the anabolic response to protein ingestion is not restricted and has previously been underestimated in vivo in humans.

Decent thread discussing this study

Bodybuilders have been saying it for a long time but it's just muscular idiots and their bro science...
it was the same with length partials

once again it just shows that tons of theory cannot compare with even an ounce of practice and experience

Yeah I always chuckle when I hear the chest and biceps crew dismissing so-called ‘bro-science’ as being worthless shit spewed by steroid abusing bb’s.
Bro science aka anecdotal evidence probably accounts for 95% of the theory behind ANY steroid cycle and even training regime used by athletes at the highest level.

good article.
ive always thought keeping it simple works. more you eat more you will grow. all the best food has protein (health wise).

Bro science proved us right with almost everything so I kindly will absorb every bro science. It just work.

People obsessed with counting and have high protein intake are the ones who look better than the rest.

This is a great podcast.

Milo' s mentioned this study, in a recent ama video podcast

I always thought eating after a workout was just a myth. This whole anabolic window thing pshhh
