How much protein for lifting: 0.8 g/kg vs 1.6 g/kg — Pick by weekly volume?

Default to 1.6 g/kg/day protein for lifters; 0.8 g/kg is the sedentary floor, not the lifting answer. Drop to 1.2 g/kg below 6 hard sets weekly.

Abstract

Default to 1.6 g/kg/day protein for lifters; 0.8 g/kg is the sedentary floor, not the lifting answer. Drop to 1.2 g/kg below 6 hard sets weekly.
