Yes it is helpful but not only proteins. You need proper nutrition as you are doing heavy work also.

It is very good to know that you are weight training. An exercising person has to take more protein because when you exercise your muscles break and to repair them and increase their size more protein is required. After a weight training session whey protein powder works the best because it immediately gives you muscle recovery. It has no side effect and has immense benefits when taken in right proportion. You also have to follow a very clean diet (proper nutrition) to get good results.
