I take whey protein though, too, but nothing else. I thought you meant you were taking all kinds of supps.

It could be even worse than me, you could be a Canuck like Fmac.

400g is about what I take in each day. You got it in for high protein diets now?

No need for 400g of protein when you not cutting, and even then it's still pretty high. You don't have 300lbs of lean mass. Waste of protein and it's too expensive.

if you're not cutting then your body doesn't utilize protein for energy. If you're cutting, then it shoudl be higher, but come on.

F-Mac likes the feeling of dumping a jet black , steaming, protein-rich turd every morning when he does his business in the bathroom. Or at least that is what he told me. Let him be Firehawk!

Look man I'm just trying to save my brothers some money...sheesh!

Don't want to pollute Chris's journal anymore, but I will just say that when I swapped some of the carbs I was eating for protein my lifts started going up.

So it works for me.......biotches.

That doesn't even make sense unless you were putting on muscle, which then means you're a freak of nature because i doubt any drug free athlete requries 400g of protein a day to grow.

Thanks for the input... I think...lol.... 400 grams is my goal, I very rarely meet it... usually more around 350... I always shoot for about 1.5 grams per pound... I feel like my body reponds better to that much protein... imagination or not, if it keeps me feeling strong it is worth it.
The supplements I use are: Whey protein, creatine, ocassionally glutamine (when i remember), and digestive enzymes.

I hear ya man.

Whey protein prices have skyrocketted lately. I bought my last batch of protein about 3 months ago and when i went to buy more last week i was shocked. Prices went up like 40-60%.

For some reason my shoulder is hurt now... It hurt to do 135 on the bench, so I decided to do legs instead of give in for the day.

I did some squats with 185 lbs, and very light leg extensions and curls, and I threw some calves in the mix. Guess what? Now my knee hurts again...

How the hell am I supposed to train if I cant bench heavy because of my shoulder, I cant squat heavy because of my knee, and I cant dead heavy becaue of my back... apparantly it is time for me to be put out to pasture and forgotten about.
