Jim Stoppani, PhD, joins Gary Brecka to explain anabolic resistance, why leucine decides whether a meal builds muscle at all, and why he takes his branched-chain amino acids 30 minutes before eating instead of with the meal. Plus protein absorption from whole food versus whey versus free-form aminos, cardio versus weights when time is short, and how to train after 50 without getting hurt.
