Assuming no special medical/nutritional issues, do you make any modified nutritional recommendations for a masters-age lifter? For example, I know the blunted MPS response has been discussed. Does this translate to a recommended higher amount of protein per pound of bodyweight? Is there a stronger case to be made for BCAA supplementation for the masters-age cohort? Many thanks and thanks for all of the great content.
I would only recommend a slightly higher protein intake, e.g. 2.2-3.1g/kg BW compared to 1.6-2.2g/kg for younger folks. I wouldn’t supplement free form BCAAs.
