This advice is based on a solid scientific foundation. A major meta-analysis published by Morton et al. (British Journal of Sports Medicine) confirms that higher protein intake optimizes lean mass and strength gains during resistance training, with a plateau in efficacy generally observed around 1.6 g/kg/day. The analysis is therefore technically accurate regarding the mechanisms of muscle protein synthesis. The extrapolation made by the creator—suggesting that these gains accumulate linearly over decades—is an interesting theoretical projection but is not clinically demonstrated, as the human body adapts its anabolic response with age and time. The distinction between immediate benefit (proven) and long-term cumulative effect (speculative) is important to note. In summary, the advice is excellent for physical performance in the short and medium term, but the 'compounding' aspect over several decades remains an optimistic view of physiology.

What’s uncertain
Light loads match heavy loads for size only when sets are taken close to failure; for pure maximal strength, heavier loads have the edge, and body-weight training eventually needs harder variations to keep progressing.
