Sorry bro i didn't mean to offend you. I just misunderstood you. But damn your strong as hell. Well if your able to bench 315 at 5'7 i'd say your in great shape! Good luck on your goals bro.

no offense taking, just wanted to get it straight. an di think 225 40 to 50 times is acheivable. i kn ow i can get it around 25 times now without even being able to be in the gym, and i am workgin on slowely but surely getting into power lifting, but i am recovering from reactive arthritis. my body is just about cool now but i just have a problem or 2 with my right knee, so not to much jumping around with weight just yet. im just now gettin back into jump squats. im just really trying to find a way to work in all my major muscles twice a week, and know what is the least amount of protein i can eat a day. im not into supplements or anything so a protein shake is as far as i go

You really do need quite a bit of protein man. At 270 you really need well over 300g cuz I'm figuring you have quite a bit of muscle mass.. I eat a lot of lean meat chicken especially... As well as 6 scoops of whey a day to get mine and I only take 200 to 250g which is not really enough for me but I'm trying tow squeeze mine into a lower calorie range though. I like cottage cheese a lot too.. Mix it with fruit or sugar free jello, which is my favorite.. You get some casein protein that way too.. I like to eat it later in the evening fills me up so I'm not to hungry when i go to bed... I eat eggs in the morning, whey and chicken throughout the day, and cottage cheese late at night. It's nice to mix in some fish too just to mix it up... I try to eat protein at every meal if I can. You need it all day and night and lots of it...

no supplements because i just dont know exactly whats in any of them, and its all in my mind, but i like tryign to accomplish whatever without taking anything. it makes me feel a little bit better about myself i guess. may sound stupid but oh well. well i guess i will try eating an extra meal or 2 a day. or even anopther protein shake. thanks for the advice. now does anyone have any suggestions on workouts that will include all major muscles groups twice a week?

Yeah i know what you mean about not wanting to take anything that you don't know whats in it. No it doesn't sound stupid its just playing it safe. But if your eating right and enough you'll be fine and won't really need supps. I personally take it for an extra boost protein, creatine, fish oil and multi vitamins is all i take really.
