Can you have too much protein?...and what's some good variations on bicep/tricept workouts?

i have been working out and playing lacrosse for almost 6 years now, I was wondering if anyone knew any medical conditions to be worried about using a long term supplement of protein, like whey, and other alternatives to meat, like yogurts and health bars, protein shakes, smoothies with protein, etc. etc.

my workout is pretty vigorous and I have gained a lot of muscle mass is my core and my back, but not so much on my chest and arms, I used to wrestle and I am training to fight mixed martial arts in the off season.

Yes, there was a UFC fighter/WWE wrestler called Brock Lesnar who used to eat nothing but meat and patatoes. He just recovered from diverticulitis which to some extent will affect the rest of his life but on most occasions someone who got to the extent of the disease as he did would usually die or need a respiratory bagfor the rest of their life.

The condition happened to him twice even though since his first occurence he began eating vegetables and druits which is what his body was desperate for.

fruits* there are also a host of other medical conditions that can form that can be deadly, colon prolapse of the colon can occur including cancer, liver problems, cholestral problems (even with training) and many more.

protein--like all things you put in your body--can have adverse effects if you ingest more than you can make use of. in some cases your body just secretes the excess as waste, but it can also damage the liver (which is what filters all this waste).

yes you can get too much protein. kidneys can only handle so much. do lots of pushups. pushups develop your chest and arm strength
