Personally, I get in 315-330g daily and of my meals only 60g of that is from protein powder. You just have to eat more, and that comes with a bit of a price tag for quality groceries as well, but you will always get better results from whole food. Its eating for results, not for pleasure.

It's tough working 2 large muscle groups effectively in one day. By the time you're done with either back or chest (which usually consists of a couple of compound lifts in there) you're already pretty worn down and it's tough to put full effort into another large bodypart. I would suggest hitting a larger muscle and a smaller muscle on the same day if you wanted to hit more than one. Ex. Chest/tris, Back/bis, etc. etc. Also, in my opinion, you're doing way too much work for bis and tris. When doing larger muscle groups and using compound lifts (bench presses, military presses, deadlifts, bent over rows, pullups and such) you're already using your bis and tris in each of those movements as secondary muscles and they get a lot of work already out of it. So to follow up a back and chest day with that much arm work can lead to serious overtraining. Personally I would ditch the chest/back day.

Your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is about 2440 calories per day. Without working out, or doing anything for that matter, you need to eat 2440 calories per day to maintain your weight. You're working out which means you need more. Assuming you work out as much as you say you do you need approx 3904 calories per day to maintain body weight (back to BMR for the off days). So, here's the deal, eat about 500-750 calories MORE per day and you will see MORE fat loss. If you want to run the numbers yourself do a google search for "t-nation carb cycling codex"... you might even follow the diet... Ok, thank goodness you have a good profile.

I use ON Whey. I have 3 shakes a day, 2 scoops each shake, 24 grams a scoop, so that right there alone is 144 grams of protein. On top of that I'll eat 3-4 whole food meals per day that consist of anywhere from 30-50 grams of protein, which gives me another 120-150 grams. The protein shakes definitely make a big difference though. I take one shake about 1-2 hours before I work out, another immidiately following my workout and then normally one more through out the day as a snack.

I've recently cut my shoulder workout down to 4 exercises... I just feel that I'm not hitting my entire muscle group if I dont do a bunch of exercises.

Biomechanically a pull up is far more effective than a "lat pull down". Leg presses and squats aren't switchable. Every week squats, squats, squats. Leg presses are secondary exercises. Squats, Lunges, Deadlifts (barbell, dumbell, barbell)... these are CORE leg exercises and Squats and Deadlifts are core period... of course you already do deadlifts.... Unless your using steroids your doing a ton of shoulder work.... Maybe your body responds to such a high volume but probably not. At 265 your BMR is probably close to 2500 calories! Are you trying to lose weight? You've got a pretty good routine the real question is "What is your goal?" Overall a great workout… but…..

I still have a hard time as well - I weigh 260, and I don't usually quite hit that, but I figure it I can hit my 1 g per pound of lean body mass (about 200-220), then I'm okay. I'm trying to cut a bit right now, but in a few months when I start to shift more toward bulking, I don't know what I'll do to add even more.

]]> Comment on The importance of sleep? by DustyBlaKe http://blog.bodybuilding.com/BooTz_60/2009/06/10/the-importance-of-sleep/#comment-10445312 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 14:53:35 +0000 http://blog.bodybuilding.com/BooTz_60/2009/06/10/the-importance-of-sleep/#comment-10445312 Tell you the truth bro it's one of the most important things in bodybuilding. Your body needs atleast they say between 6-8 hours of sleep a night that way it can fully recovery and be ready for the next day!! I know it's hard sometimes i only get between 5 and 6 but i atleast try to make sure i get 6 and take a good 50g protein shake before bed!! You use more energy sleeping then you do doing anything else throughout the day. Hopefully this helps a little bit bro!! Tell you the truth bro it’s one of the most important things in bodybuilding.
