Many body builders have the appearance of large muscle mass from ingesting massive quantitities of Whey Protein. However, because meat protein, especially high quality meat (venison, beef, buffalo) contains all of the essential amino acids, the "building blocks" of protein, in correct proportions, it is this that is most desirable for optimum growth of lean, calorie burning tissue.

I spent 1 year in the Army stockade at hard labor, often for 16 to 20 hour days, breaking rocks, digging 5-foot telephone-line trenches, leveling hills with pick and shovel, unloading 120 pound bags of cement from RR freight cars, carrying them into a warehouse, stacking them in 20 foot high stacks, being double-...
