I was a vegan for 2 straight years and I was ripped to shreds and was benching 110 pounds more than i weighed. i would say the protein i was getting was very low. probably under 50 grams a day. so i am like rick and I don't buy that protein thing where you have to get 2X your body weight.. yes you need protein to build muscle, but you also need carbs, cals, vitamins, minerals, sleep, hours in the gym, and a balanced mind.. there is so much more to muscle building than just protein.
gear is best used 4 caps before and 4 caps after your workout. and/or you use it in between meals if you can't get any food inside you. like today i had a 3-4 hour gap where i wasn't able to eat anything except a protein bar.. so i took 4 caps of gear.
