It’s easy to assume that, since weightlifters aim to build strength and muscle, they have a greater need for protein than endurance athletes. This is one of those questions that’s best answered on a case-by-case basis.

On the other hand, competitive lifters like people in strongman competitions need extraordinary amount of calories and protein.
