Woke today after 6-8 hours of quality sleep, and felt refreshed.
HB2 W1D2 8_4_21
Spoto (75-80 Rx) 80x8 @6 (LOLOL weight), 75x8 @5.5, 80x8x2s @7
Good Morning (6-7 RPE) 80x8x2s @7, 7.5 (video - showed back parallel to floor but more knee bend needed to facilitate more hips back/ROM for hams)
DB RDL (6-7 RPE) 20sx15x2s @6 (all the old lady weights were taken)
Lat Pulldowns (3-4 RIR) 80x10x3s @4,@4,@3
DB Laterals 10sx10x3s @4RIR, 4, 3
LTE 30x10x3s @4,4,3 (need to go up)
BB Curls 30x10x3s @4RIR, 3,3
This was easy, I'm assuming it'll get harder.

How much protein does everyone eat?
Trainer here says shoot for 240 (170 current but fall short most days 150-165)???

[Richard Durbin]

I weigh 220-ish and try to choke down 250g a day. 8 eggs, 4 chicken snacks, 4 protein drinks. Plus some salad, rice, etc. for balance.
It’s hard, mentally harder than the workouts I think.

[granny]

I’m sitting at @ 175. He said it’s why I’m not recovering? \O/

[dalan]

I'm 190 and usually get 200-225. 175 should be more than fine.

As Richard said above, eating into the 200s is really hard...mentally taxing.

I average around 150 to 175.

When things were going well for me, 150g was right in the sweet spot: I was able to handle whatever programming was put in front of me.

Recovery is not just protein it's also sleep and overall load and frequency of the workouts.

[Richard Durbin]

Plus I can feel a “protein only” day now. I have to add some carbs to the eggs, chicken, protein drinks, or I’ll feel spent in my workout.
Chocolate milk, pound cake, rice, something.
This didn’t happen at lighter weights.
Funny, I still have plenty of belly fat to burn…

Thanks, all. I guess I'm going to up it a tiny bit and cut out SMHE*. Maybe it'll help maybe not.
*Stuff My Husband Eats - when he asks for something, I make sure he gets it (PB Choc chip cookies, pastitsio, chips, beer, things like that... he is good at cutting back when needed. I have problems over time, and moreso when its a dinner item so I guess I'll be making two things sometimes. He is all for me eating to fuel myself, and would probably eat shoe leather if I served it with gravy.... so at least I have great support.

Bit of DOMS today (hamstrings, quad) otherwise ok, easier training anyway, surprised myself with front squat so easy, video last set on IG - my whole front rack and bottom position is in the shitter! The video was hysterical to watch, one of the first things I was taught, get your hips under you do not have them back - all the progress lost (IDK how the hell I'd rack a 140-150# clean anymore, if I could get it up at all!!)
