Justin Harris – The Ascent – Lean Mass Program

“The Ascent” is a lean muscle growth diet plan (Excel spreadsheet) in the carb cycling format written by renowned coach Justin Harris.

Unlike single-source whey that spikes and crashes within 1-2 hours, Troprotein blends four proteins with different digestion rates — hydrolyzed whey (immediate), egg white (short-term), pea isolate (medium-term), and grass-fed beef isolate (long-term) — to deliver amino acids continuously for 4-6 hours.

Troprotein works best as a between-meal protein source or pre-sleep shake when you need sustained amino acid delivery. It also functions as a meal replacement when whole food isn’t practical.

The time-release matrix keeps muscle protein synthesis elevated far longer than a standard whey shake, reducing muscle protein breakdown between meals and maximizing anabolic signaling throughout the day.

What You’ll Learn In The Ascent – Lean Mass Program

Following the style of “Massive!” and “Shredded!” “The Ascent” is the most comprehensive lean mass protocol you’ll find. It includes customized macronutrient amounts, a full meal plan, and a list of multiple food sources, which are calculated from the lean body mass you input into the program and continually adjusted as your body composition changes.
