It still has amino acids, just not in the quantities required to be considered complete. But if you’re supplementing a couple times per day, and still eating well, then its a great option. I added 25 pounds of lean muscle in about 9 months using pea protein as my primary supplement, and Think bars as secondary. I tried to only eat the Think bars when I was pressed for time, or on the go, since they’re kind of high in fat.
Damn bro, that’s insane growth. 25lbs of lean mass in 9 months is what I’d expect from someone who’s heavily juiced up and training/eating optimally. There’s no way that whatever you’ve got going on is applicable to the average person.
Really? 2.5 pounds per month is pretty average to my understanding if someone’s sticking with a legit program, eating well, and getting enough rest. I have a high metabolism, so I basically force feed myself when I’m working on gaining. I was doing the Phrak’s Greyskull AMRAP program. There’s a lot of leg work, which accounted for a hefty portion of the weight. I’ve always felt like I’m a hard gainer. My best friend puts on muscle just by looking at weights, and it makes me sick. LOL. I’m happy to hear that you think my results were awesome. Thank you! Oh, it wasn’t my first, or even second time putting muscle back on, so that’s probably the difference. I was gaining muscle I already had previously.
Naked Pea Protein (unflavored) is the best damned supplement I’ve found. Just FYI in case you need a little extra help.
Pea protein is usually blended with rice protein to make a complete protein. Pea protein on its own isn’t complete.
