Shrud family this week on Barbell Shrug Dr. Donald layman is coming into the show and one of the most beautiful things that happen sometimes on Barbell Shrug is I get to meet an interview and talk to the person that did all of the research on how I've

0:16.1

essentially been living my life for strength and conditioning for the past 28 years.

0:21.0

He is not only the mentor to some of the more popular people

0:25.8

like Lane Norton, Dr. Gabriel Lion, who studied under him,

0:29.5

who mentored them, but he's also the guy that way back in the day decided that getting multiple

0:35.8

meals of 30 grams of at least 30 grams of protein per meal was the way that you

0:41.2

go and build muscle and now he's doing tons of research on

0:44.1

amino acids and actually their their role in muscle growth and keep maintaining

0:49.8

muscle which is very very cool there's There's multiple moments in this where he talks

0:54.7

about his own research, where Doug and I are like,

0:59.8

You're the one that did all the research,

1:18.1

than I've even been lifting weights.

1:20.1

And he's the guy that wrote the book on exactly how we get protein, how much protein to eat,

1:27.0

1:34.8

As always friends make sure you get over to rapid health report.com that is where Dr.

Andy Galvin is doing a free video on the three-step process that we use to optimize or unlock your true physiological
