    Like I guess it doesn’t matter… But could I not get whiplash every time I ask a fitness question to Google

      Yeah it really sucks. I’ve been lifting consistently for about 15 months and there’s SO much junk content out there. Unless you are going to be a bodybuilder, just eat clean, progressively overload your weights and sleeeeep.

        Yessir. What do you think about the 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight? Do about 75% of that or? Not going to be body building per se but I do want to get strong for my size. But for now some muscle is welcome. Like enough to look like the pump I get atm would be nice

          I think the general purpose advice is to eat lots of food, get lots of sleep, and leave further changes for when you can’t make linear progress on your lifts anymore. 1 g/lb is the standard rule of thumb but hard to hit, 0.75 seems reasonable to me.
