Best Answer

Anyone who is looking to add muscle needs extra protein, about a gram per pound of body weight. Power lifters may resort to a variety of other products as well. They also need sources of explosive power, which is a little bit different (things like creatine might help with endurance).

Yes, power lifters typically require more protein than the average person to support muscle growth and recovery. Consuming protein-rich foods and/or supplements can help power lifters meet their increased protein needs and aid in achieving optimal performance and muscle development.

Is soy protein better than whey protein?

Soy protein is a more complete protein than any animal-based protein. The human body is more receptive to soy protein.
