all that protein will certainly be used effectively by the body.

If one consumes more protein than is needed by the body, the excess amino acids will be broken down, with the carbon skeletons stored as fat and the nitrogen part excreted as urea. All this excess urea can significantly strain your liver and kidneys.
Weight training athletes in general do not need greatly increased amounts of protein, rather they need only small increases in protein but substancial increases in calories.
Please note: ( Nutritionists and other experts in the field of health and nutrition hold widely varying views ).

Non-athletes need only around .8grs of protein/lb of bodyweight & weight-training athletes need at least 1.3 grs/lb of bodyweight. So if your eating 325grs @235 lbs (about 1.4grs/lb)-- your not getting too much.

Also, the absorbtion of protein really depends on how you get it-- whey protein isolate is prob the highest at 98%. The liver/kidney failure argument that Dave posted only effects people w/that pre-existing condition...not healthy athletes.

The liver/kidney failure argument that Dave posted

With all due respect, Please re-read what Dave posted. Dave never mentioned or hinted at liver or kidney failure.

I totally disagree with that article.

There is a reason why we shit. . if we absorbed all nutrients there would be no need for us to shit.

I agree with that... i eat 250+ g of protien with 6 meals and shit 4-6 times a day... and big shits too...

Too much protein will give you Gout.

I did an oral presentation on muscle protein synthesis a week or two ago. Based on studies I found in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition, the optimal protein intake for strength athletes is about 1.7 g/kg. Yes, grams per KG, not LB. For endurance athletes it was 1.3 g/kg, and for sedentary people it was .8 g/kg.
