how much protein do i need a day from a hardcore heavy weight lifting workout?
Ive been lifting weights and mostly focused on heavy weight lifting 8-10 reps and i wanna gain some pounds in muscle and inches on my arms. But i heard if i wanted to gain alot of muscle weight i need alot of protein so i have whey protein powder but i dont know how much i should drink. should i over do it just incase?
Is it better for me to workout everything all at once or workout different muscles at different days?

1. The most common rule of thumb is 1gram per lb of body weight. There are others that work as well but the most common, easiest to figure out, is the 1g per 1lb. Also, if you want to gain muscle mass you should be focusing on doing less reps with more sets and higher weight.EDIT- You should be working one muscle group per day, with bi's and tri's together one day. I use this routine and it ends up being about 5-6 days a week.
