Summary

In this episode of the Smart Strength Training Podcast, I delve into the science of protein, its essential role in muscle growth and repair, and how to optimise protein intake for strength training. I discuss the importance of understanding muscle protein synthesis, the recommendations for daily protein intake, and the significance of protein timing and distribution. Additionally, I address common misconceptions about protein consumption and emphasise the need for a balanced approach to dietary protein, particularly for different demographics such as older adults and those on plant-based diets.
