There's a huge gap between DYEL and BB - you can have a physique most would find desirable/attractive without even coming close to BB level - but you can't do it on 20% protein, the best you can do on that is be skinny. When I said "any physical activity" I should have said "actively engaging in a sport" fair enough - but it doesn't have to be lifting, that's just the example you mentioned with benching. Your performance will go to shit in endurance sports on that low protein as well simply because catabolism would wreck your muscles and you wouldn't have enough protein to recover.

This statement is ridiculous. You can't have a physique that many would find attractive unless you're bulking with extra protein? Perhaps you meant to say something less presumptuous, like you won't look "ripped" unless you are taking protein.
