Protein requirements are largely corelated to bodyweight.
Clearly, the more you weigh, assuming lean body mass,
plus a bit more, is needed for muscle growth.
I don't know about sustaining protein requirements. I will
assume we get back to percentage of bodyweight, less the
bit more. Again, the more you weigh, the more your muscles,
your body will require.
In my opinion, the only way to truly know if these massive
(my word) amounts of protein is required is through
experimentation, research, studying, using identical twins.
All else in anecdotal IMO.
Of course it's anecdotal, most things in enhanced bodybuilding are . Like I said before, I can name several people on this forum that are active right now that reached their massive statures with 2+g/lb of bodyweight. I know most can maintain it on less, but they reached that point with more. Can you name anybody here that is sub 8% body fat, over 250+ lbs that reached it with less protein? I don't mean guys that post on instagram or give interviews to magazines. I'm talking the bodybuilders that are on these forums, posting transparently and frequently with no agendas.
