I’m looking like this all year round with diet with 1 gram per KILOGRAM daily. Sometimes more, never the less.

You’ve done great, but pretty much all the evidence points towards 0.9g/lb protein intake being most beneficial. I would seriously consider it if you’re looking for more size.

I posted some information in a macro thread, if you’re interested in reading more.

Protein

1.0g/lb Bodyweight

Proteins are large molecules made of other, smaller molecules called amino acids. Proteins are essential for maintaining good health and survival, but they also play a significant role in determining performance and body composition. Consuming protein through a diet helps replenish skeletal muscle as it is broken down to support essential bodily functions, thereby preventing muscle shrinkage over time. Hence, protein consumption is anti-catabolic, maintaining muscle tissue equilibrium. To achieve muscle growth, there must be a net positive balance of amino acids. When new muscle is built with an amino acid surplus, it is called anabolism, which is an anabolic process.

Protein is the most crucial macronutrient for body composition and health because amino acids are the fundamental building blocks for much of the body’s functional and structural machinery. Since our bodies mainly obtain new amino acids from the food we eat, consuming protein through our diet is critical. Studies on body composition and performance reveal that while changes in fat and carbohydrate intake have a substantial impact on outcomes, variations in protein availability have a much more significant effect. Therefore, to improve body composition and health, the intake of protein-rich foods must be prioritized.

Recent research tested outcomes of up to 2.0g per pound of body weight per day and found no ill health effects.

Above is an illustration of the relative benefits at different rates of protein consumption.

For both compliance and affordability reasons, 1.0g/lb bodyweight is the recommended protein intake. Increasing to 1.5g/lb bodyweight during a cut can be very beneficial for it’s effect on satiety.

Note: There is a considerable amount of anecdotal experience by individuals who are very advanced in muscular development that recommends 2.0g/lb bodyweight. There are no studies that support this claim, but often these studies do not support the intent of extremely high protein intake in the pursuit of extreme muscle mass. AAS usage is likely to impact benefits of total protein consumption.

So all in are my natty gains.

I would be hesitant to consider these “natty” if on TRT, but it’s irrelevant to the conversation - just letting you know that “TRT” can be 200mg test, 200mg Deca, 20mg/day Var and Ipamorelin.

“TRT” is a loaded term I would avoid is all.
