1 gram per lb of bodyweight is high, yes, but it will definitely help to repair damaged muscles from the quality weight training. On the split I mentioned, I'd do 2 exercises for the big muscle groups like back, quads, hams, chest, shoulders, and 1 each for bis, tris, calves. Also 2 for abs is fine as well. Once you move on to a more advanced split, you can do 3 exercises for lrg groups and 2 for small. Eventually you can call yourself crazy like me (lol and do 4-6 for large and 3 -4 for small. hehe
I "pyramid my weights" as far as weight goes.
