Was pleasantly surprised did drop sets today on back exercises

Started heavier than ever lifted since return

Seated Row
Lay pull down
Romainian Deadlift
Lawnmowers
Shrugs
Torso rotation

The.n after the last drop set of 8 with 30 sec rest I went back to burnout at start weight and did at least 5 reps of everything except the rotation


Also what is a good protein intake percentage? I’m at 25-30%daily. Just think I’m doing good things just not sure if that’s acceptable level.

Tonight my split was
1275 net calories
37% fat (70 g)
35% carbs (84 g)
28% protein (123 g)

A really dumb question but I am asking because I legitimately do not know

So if I increased rest time to say 60-75 seconds between sets instead of my normal 30-45 will that increase hypertophy and increase muscle tension to increase the loads?

Take your body weight (or target body weight) and multiply by .7 and/or .8. Any number in that range should be your total grams of protein consumed per day. Whey protein is good for reaching your protein quota, and also keeping calories down.
