Breh, don't get fooled by the marketing in muscle magazine. You do not NEED that much protein. If you are on steroids and want to be a bodybuilder than perhaps you do, but the normal person does not.

As was said in the post above, 120 is really the number that you should be shooting for but even if you can't get that, don't worry. Paying your bills is more important that feeding your body extra protein. You can go protein crazy again in the future when you have a new job. It aint that serious though.

I've seen dudes on bodybuilding forums having no problem maintaining their lean mass at 100g per day. Your body is very smart. It will adapt to whatever you feed it.

Stock up on cheap oats and brown rice and eat nice fiberous carbs. They will keep your body chugging along just fine and let your body use whatever protein you do take in for muscle repair.

This and keep in mind (not you but the general populous) that you are getting protein from the oats, rice and veggies. Not as complete more than likely but a contribution none the less.

After a month of my gym begging the owners to get new bars because all the good (thin) ones were bent AF, we finally got 2 Rogue Ohio power bars and 2 Texas Power Bars on the way. My body is ready to try them out :shaq:

But I'm also still recovering from being sick AF and have a big surgery on Friday so I can't push it :mjcry:. My gym consistency has been terrible lately.

So this week is strength week for me and today was solid.
Weighed at 172 lbs at somewhere between 5'6" - 5'7" tall.
Flat BP: 6 x 4: 165lbs, 175 lbs, 180 lbs, 185 lbs, 190 lbs, 195 lbs
Chin ups: ended up doing 3 sets did 10 reps the first set and 4 reps on each of the last two sets.
Back Squat: 6 x 4: 250 lbs, 260 lbs, 270 lbs, 275 lbs, 280 lbs, 285 lbs
DB Overhead Press: 6 x 4: 35 lbs dumbbells, 40 lbs dumbbells (2 sets), 45 lbs dumbbells (2 sets), 50 lbs dumbbells
90 Degree Barbell Row: 6 x 4: 95 lbs, 105 lbs, 110 lbs, 115 lbs, 120 lbs, 125 lbs (only could do 3 reps with full range of motion)
RDLs: 6 x 4: 145 lbs, 150 lbs, 155 lbs, 160 lbs, 165 lbs, 170 lbs,

Really happy with my Bench, squat, OHP and rows went. My pull ups and chin ups are getting better but it is a slow process. And I prob could of went heavier on rdls tbh.
