Is it possible to build muscles without taking protein supplements?

Sure. Just eat lots of chicken breasts. And some steak.

I generally don't take protein supplents that often. Just for a day when I realize I ate or am unlikely to have eaten any significant protein.

Ie like I had pancakes for breakfast, salad for lunch and girlfriend is making veggie dish for dinner... I'll slam a protein shake or two. That's all though.

If I had eggs and bacon for breakfast, beef taco for lunch and having chicken whatever for dinner, I won't take any extra protein.

Ehh.. what the fuck do you think muscle is, exactly?

Did you think you're taking protein supplements to make your sweat smell sweeter?

Supplements cram more nutrients into a meal, than eating it conventionally. It works out cheaper in many cases too.

Of course. It's a bad habit to take regularly useless supplements. If you're eating in a healthy well balanced way, everything necessary to your body is already there. To build muscles, doing some sports regularly should do.

Yes. Absolutely.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and many other did it back in the days.

Right, because muscular people didn't exist until the invention of protein supplements 🤦🏻‍♂️ Ever heard of something called exercise?

I would think so. Lifting weights seems to work

Sure, you can do that through weight lifting.
