Fair enough, I haven’t seen that link before, interesting stuff. You’ve inspired me to try an extra high protein diet and see how I feel. Interestingly the USDA’s new guideline is 1.2g-1.6g/kg and that’s not even for strength training.
I think the only thing I’d change with the framing is that I got the impression 1.6g-2.2g/kg was required for strength training rather than what you need to maximize gains. Otherwise I retract my critic of the science, the evidence does seem to point towards 2g/kg or perhaps more as being optimal.
