Re: Still fat, need muscle

Thanks guys. I have the eating down pretty well. All i need to do is up the protein intake. How many grams of protein should i eat a day? i've heard 1 gram per pound of body weight, but isnt that excessive for someone like me?


So its two to three sets all i need to work a specific muscle. So i could do 8 reps 3 times and that would be good for my biceps? Should i use the heaviest weight that will allow me to fail at my 8th rep?
