As we should know by now , the main amino acid which controls protein sythesis in skeletal muscle is leucine....
Well for those that didn't know
Leucine stimulates mTOR and muscle protein synthesis in both animal and human
The main things one need to build muscle from a workout are insulin, igf-1 and leucine.
The other amino acids are going to be oxidized or metabolized in the liver as the document explains.
So saying one should eat X amount of protein per day is simply incorrect. I would use a good bcaa + carb drink pre / intra / post workout
And follow healthy dietary recommendations after which.
