Vince, I think one of the reasons is that you have very little credibility here is that you make a lot of claims, some seemingly outrageous, but provide no proof or studies to support your beliefs. And then you accuse others of disregarding science and only going by muscle mags, hear say, and "bro science."
I've challenge you several times on two claims you have made and offered studies that dispute your beliefs. One is the claim that you only need 20-50 grams of protein per day and claim this has been known for decades. I think this claim comes as a surprise to many and I doubt that even you yourself follow this protocol. One would have to either be a vegetarian or really go out of their way to avoid protein if they eat a normal diet.
You also claim that age has nothing to do and certainly no obstacle to gaining muscle mass. In fact, you claim that it's easier for an older person to gain muscle mass than a younger person. Not only has this been disproved in the real world all throughout history there are studies that confirm this very real phenomenon and how the body goes through very real and obvious changes as it ages, most importantly for our purposes, is atrophy whether you engage in resistance training or not.
Please address these two claims and back it up with proof and studies. No excuses about how we are just flotsam and wouldn't understand or comprehend the studies or that you are under no obligation to provide information for free to back up claims you yourself make.
I'm just sincerely asking you to address these two issues because I have not been about to find anything from my own research to support your claims. If you once again ignore this very simple request then I just have to assume you are just here to spout out your theories having no interest in real discussion and debate which is what you claim you want and accuse this board of rejecting. And if that is the case, why are you here?
