OH YEA forgot about that little detail although i thought it was 50g at a time. And would like amino acids help you digest protein better like L-Glutamine.
This is Cubanito 17's bro,got a big...huge problem

Aigh bro let me know how you like that shake. I already have on the weekly grocery list 1 gallon of ice cream, jello pudding snacks, and a box of snickers. this is gonna be the shake I drink before going to sleep. In fact I might just make another one soon. My mom tried it and loved it upset i didn't tell her what I put in it once I told her i put in a protein supplement she started finding a weird taste, which is bullshit she just doesn't like me taking those shakes b/c she doesn't think I have to get any bigger. WRONG!!!! I'll be drinking minimum 1/day.

It's too bad that I live so far away for many reasons one I'd love to train with ya if you mostly train by yourself I can relate to ya b/c i do too. And two b/c your girls sis the 16 year old doesn't look bad AT ALL. One thing that I'd have to get used too is the voice(accent) kinda weird but hey whatever

hey guys I was looking at the cal intake today when I made my shake and it turns out to be from 700-800 cals I've had two today If I can eat whatever i see and drink 2 of these shakes I'll pass 3,000 cals and get a good 1g/lb I weigh. So gaining weight/strength here I come.

Actually, the 30 - 40 grams of protein is all you can digest at one sitting is a myth that has persisted for decades. There is absolutely no factual evidence to support this. Digestion will vary far more due to size, BMR, and what else you eat with your protein, such as fats which delay gastric emptying.
Also, ginger has been shown to improve protein absorption.

That's good to know I heard, myth or not i dunno, that taking amino acids/complexes helps the breaking down of protein synthesis so I take those at night and hopefully it breaks down in my body. Either way as long as it doesn't affect me or hurt me I'm good.

The only time specific amino's have been shown to help, other than glutamine, is when they are administer directly into the intestine via tube feeding. I do not think you should be doing this.
If you are getting a decent amount of protein in your diet, both from whole foods (the best way) and protein supplementation (the convenient way) you should be fine. You could, of course, look up the specific micronutrient ratio of everything you are eating and total the amounts. If you are particularly weak in one amino, you can supplement it.
Protein synthesis is increased by glycogen transport. Post workout is when the highest levels are possible, so a large supply of hi GI carbs, such as dextrose or maltodextrin, plus a fast acting protein, such as whey, can work wonders. Otherwise, aside from ginger, which I previously mentioned, not a lot can improve it.
Whey by itself is not the greatest, as it is so fast acting. A whey/caesin combo is great, except post workout. The casesin will slow down the absorption of whey, cause a nice, steady insulin response and even uptake (relatively) of protein.
