from what I've gathered, there is no standard limit as to how much protein everyone's body can absorb. this is a matter in which you can't generalize because everyone is different. there are a wide spectrum of factors that may vary and affect the amount.

Ronnie Coleman is not exactly your average guy. look up videos of him training. do you train like that? probably not. you and him are not going to have the same nutritional needs to maintain the bodies you have individually. chances are you don't look like him either so it would be irrational to expect anyone is going to eat like him or vice versa.
"Many ‘experts’ or gym know it alls out there who will tell you to only consume “X” amount of protein at a meal because only “X” amount of protein can be absorbed by the body at a meal (I’m sure you’ve all heard this one before). Let this nonsense stop here and now. To begin with, this entire train of thought isn’t even on the correct track. Hell it didn’t even depart from the right train station! Assuming that you have a healthy digestive system the absorption of the amino acids from a meal containing protein is very efficient and almost never a limiting factor. Absorption only refers to nutrient uptake & absorption via the digestive track (most absorption occurring in the small intestine). If our digestive systems didn’t absorb most of what we eat than anytime you had a big meal you would have diarrhea like clockwork from the undigested material in the gut! It also makes very little sense from an evolutionary standpoint to be very wasteful with nutrients when primitive man may have only been able to eat one large meal in a day at times. Our species would not have survived very long if we were wasteful with nutrients and did not absorb amino acids beyond a certain level. In reality, the body has an extremely high capacity for amino acid absorption. What these people who spout this nonsense are really referring to is amino acid utilization. You see, even if we absorb 100% of the amino acids we ingest, that doesn’t mean they will all reach the skeletal muscle and input towards building muscle mass. In actuality a very small percentage are used for that role. The cells of the small intestine and liver extract a huge amount of amino acids for energy and their own synthesis of new proteins in first pass metabolism before they ever reach the bloodstream! Once in the bloodstream amino acids can also be taken up and utilized by other tissues such as the kidneys, heart, skin, etc. So it is not a question of how much protein/amino acids can be absorbed at a meal, rather the question is what level of protein at a meal gives the maximum benefit for muscle building? Essentially anything below this level would not maximally support muscle building, while at a protein intake above this level, the body would merely oxidize the excess amino acids for energy."

Adderall man. Adderall. Or is it Lithium...lol
 
i think adding an extra 20 grams or so post workout is a good idea..seeing as how you just beat yourself up for however long, and also absorbtion rate is best at this time.. but if you are used to taking in say, 50grams, bumping to 100grams would be excessive. but bumping it to 70grams would be within reason...
 
thanks man thats more what i was looking for ive been taking in around 65grams post workout now...btw no one looks like ronnie the mfer is on roids so bad it aint even funny...still love him tho..yeah buddy
 
There is no research showing if there is such a thing as "to much" protein at one setting. But you have to think about your wallet and in terms of how much you are able to afford. Since Ronnie Colman gets free protein thou endorsements he will inevitably tell himself more is better, along with doing his job in hopes that many mindless followers will take shake after shake of BSN in hopes of walking around looking like him and getting noooo punanny what so ever. However there is research suggesting out there and makes common sense to take protein thou out the day to have a high amino acid concentration in one blood.
