Summary
In today's episode we're breaking down how to build serious size on a plant-based diet without hitting a plateau. Most vegetarians fail because they ignore the 20% digestibility gap and the 3-gram leucine threshold needed to flip the "growth switch" in their muscles. We provide a blueprint for calculating your optimal protein intake (1.8–2.4g/kg) and list the non-negotiable supplements like creatine that vegetarians lack. Learn the 4-week protocol to stop bloating and start growing with science-backed meal timing and recipes designed for maximum absorption.
