Four-step process to seek Win/Win solutions: 1. See the problem from the other point of view. Really seek to understand and to give expression to the needs and concerns of the other party as well as or better than they can themselves. 2. Identify the key issues and concerns (not positions) involved. 3. Determine what results would constitute a fully acceptable solution. 4. Identify possible new options to achieve those results. [2004] - Stephen R. Covey

In a study that looked at the effect of strength training in 62 frail seniors, the subjects who did only strength training for 6 months gained no muscle mass. Another group of subjects was given protein supplementation (via a protein shake); those subjects added an average of about 3 pounds of lean mass. The extra protein likely made the difference. Similar results have been found in multiple other studies, although it remains unclear whether protein supplementation helps to improve muscle "strength" as well as muscle mass. We don't store protein in the way we store fat (in fat cells) or glucose (as glycogen). If you consume more protein than you can synthesize into lean mass, you'll simply excrete the excess in your urine as urea. [2023] - Peter Attia
