guys... how much protein should I intake daily? I keep hearing 1 gm per pound, but is that total body weight or lean mass weight.

It's been a debate for years, Edwin. I have heard all sorts of stuff when it comes to protein intake.

The most common one or the RDA is .4g per pound (from what I remember). That makes its it 72g of protein that I should be taking (weigh 180 currently). Of course this is more for inactive people. Hell, my post workout shake is about 65g of protein.

From my own experience, consuming around 1-1.5g per body weight, is the most ideal, if you are active and constantly training. Going back to the first point and the RDA recommendation, is .4g of protein per pound okay? Sure it is, but it all depends on what you're training to accomplish. I consume about 225-250g of protein daily, but my goal may be different from yours or anyone else.

I'm not a nutritionist or a personal trainer, this is from my own experience. Hope what I said helps you in achieving your goals.

I was told by my personal trainer that one couldn't metabolize more than 40-50g of protein at one time, so I've used that as the benchmark for my post workout shakes/meals while still trying to get around 1g/lb. Like Huy said, though, I'm not a PT or a nutritionist.

that's what I had seen as well. I take a 50g protein shake at a time. I've been doing around 140-150g of protein a day between the shakes and regular meals. I weight 158. Im hoping that is enough.

I've heard from 24 grams of protein and now, up to 50 grams of protein for maximum consumption. What I believe they are talking about is maximizing protein synthesis. For the most part, the ideal number or number that most people refer to is, 30 grams of protein. Can you consume more than that? Sure you can, your body can digest more than 30 grams of protein in one sitting. Excess protein, of course will be used as energy.

There's just so much scientific studies on this topic and you can google it, and it will be countless pages of this stuff. I'm not a doctor or scientist to know all the terms. All I know is what works for me.

Hope all is well, Dan. We certainly miss you around brother.

Went with moderate weight, relatively high reps, and dropped the rest 20 seconds between each set until my last set of everything was basically back-to-back, Huy.

T-bar Rows 225 x 8 sets
Cable rows 200 X 6 sets
Barbell Rows 225 x 6 sets
Wide grip pulldowns 200 x 6 sets
Close grip pull ups, 1 set to failure

Forget training in Vegas, Brother, a couple days off can't hurt. :-)

Bad day for shoulders, lotta pain and restricted range of motion. Stayed semi-light for seated presses, 135, 155, 175, 195, 195, 185. Did some light standing presses up to 145, then some tricep work before finally bowing to the discomfort and calling it a day.

Have a good time in Vegas, Huy. :-)

335 bent over rows... that's some animal shi.t right there, Tom.

I did manage to go a day while in Vegas, but it just wasn't a good lift. 2 days off, it was nice but I just need 1 day.

Chest,abs and tris today. Hypertrophy training today.

Flat bench w/superset push ups: 8x8 -- 8x8 (had to check my ego after the 4th set)
Pec Dec: 5x10
Hammerstrength incline machine: 6x8 --6x8 incline push ups
DB flys: 8x8
Dips: 5x10

Did everything with about 30-45 seconds of rest.

A few tricep work along with about 5-8 minutes of ab work. Played some ball to get a good sweat going. Felt like I burn away some of that alcohol from the weekend.

Good to have you back, Huy, even though I am guessing Vegas was Heaven.

Shoulder today and I was feeling it. Did both narrow and wide grip seated presses, only made it to 195 on the narrows and 185 on the wides before it was just too much.

Went light on barbell shrugs at 275 for high rep sets with just a few breaths to recover between sets...got a real nice trap pump anyway.
