For bench press, that means reps that go from bottom of motion to the point where it's most difficult for the arms to extend any further (you wouldn't able to go pass that point anyway because you do the X reps after the point of exhaustion where you are unable to do one more full-range rep).

This is a biological fact. Protein consumed with out fat is turned into sugar. Excess sugar is stored as fat. In nature you will notice that fats and proteins come together. Milk 8 grams of protein, 8 grams of fat. Same with nuts, eggs etc. The avoidance of fats will lead to a natural avoidance of protein. Fats and protein is what you need. Carbohydrates are what make you fat. Fat burns fat. Nature did not intend on us consuming fats and proteins separate. Without fats you cannot digest protein. This is a biological fact.

The body needs amino acids to build the various proteins used in the growth, repair and maintenance of body tissues such as skin, bones and muscles. Whey protein also offers the benefits of supplying high nutritional value and branched chain amino acids (BCAA) to athletes. BCAA are essential amino acids, which are part of muscle protein. They may preserve muscle glycogen stores and help reduce the amount of protein breakdown during exercise. Whey Protein serves as a dietary source of amino acids.
