im 6 ft 2 230 lbs and been working out hard for last 10 weeks, about 4 weeks ago i hit a plateau where i was not getting bigger or stronger (particularly on my chest and biceps, my best parts). so i went through these forums and basucally found that i was massively overtraining.

so with the help of people on here i changed my workout, cut out loads of the volume , did mainly compound exercises etc etc

now heres the point , on top of this i thougt if i wanna really bulk ive gotta make sure im getting enough protein. my diet is a bit hit and miss and as im not gonna go into a competition or anything i dont wanna spend hours analysing my diest. so i bought a whey protein. i read on hereyou need 1g for every lb of weight. so thats 235g protein a day. now having read these forums thats a hell of a lot . in one serving of my post protein shake it says it has 17g protein.

should i be upping the amount of this stuff i have ?

you have to account for your dietary protein intake as well.
Figure out how many grams a day you're getting from food, than adjust from there.

The main source of protein should be coming from your diet. (lean meats, fish)
The protein powder is used as a supplement to this. Twice a day and I say no more than 3 times a day.

You can also add other ingredients to the shake.

I like adding Whole Oats, Bananas or frozen fruits and an Organic raw egg (when mixed in a blender you cant notice the egg's texture).

This should give you about 10-12g of extra protein with one egg.

Your protein intake is fine.

If you are looking at bulking check your carbs and fats.

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
