Yo I am failing at this clean bulk. Eating 3000 calories and losing strength. I have no problem bumping it up but I'm already eating 210 grams of protein a day at 170lbs. Ive tried adding more carbs but my I just bloat up and get real sluggish. Advice?
Side note: Should the protein still be the biggest thing on the plate even when bulking?

You do not need that many grams of protein... up your fat intake. Roughly a gram per body weight for protein is enough. What are your carb sources?

To be honest it's not even intentional. I am just trying to eat clean and while trying to keep my macros in check thats what my protein intake has averaged. And apparently I am aroudn 175. I thought I lost more weight than I did.
As far as carbs - I stick to oatmeal, sweet potatoes, brown rice and wheat bread (only when I dont have time to cook)

Yeah it's nothing to lose sleep about... but you could use those macros for more carbs or fat. If they are making you sluggish I would space the servings out more? Just play around with meal timing a bit until you find a happy medium with your body.
I'd bump that 3k to 3,200 for a week see how it goes, then take it from there.

I didnt even think about meal timing, that's most likely what it is - too much at once. Thanks

I always thought 1 g of protein per body weight was minimum? Hard gainers are supposed to sit at like 1.5, no ?

I personally think that's a little excessive. I'm a hard gainer and in order to gain I need extra cals, usually from carbs, to put on weight.

It's all relative if you're a natty... you'll be peeing out all the extra protein. There are multiple studies out there that say that 1g per body weight is sufficient enough though.

Good to know. Been hitting a wall lately. Will dial back on protein and fill it in with carbs and fat.

I think it depends on your body and body type.
for me I build pretty well well with the 1.5 grams plus carbs.
with my meal frequency and things I eat I just happen to get that much protein to fill me up.
I also keep my fats pretty low though. so I can have a bit extra carbs and pro in my diet. but what works for me doesn't work for everyone.
but I would say bump up those clean carbs a bit see how that works out

Ever feel like you're havig an off day at the gym ? Like literally I can't lift 135 more than 10 times while I'm doing incline . Maybe it's because I only got 3 hours of sleep last night .

Everyone has those days.
Mind/ muscle connection isn't there. Sometimes I would go to the gym with my boy who can bench over 315 some days but other times, he will get in a fight with his girl and has difficulty hitting 225 for reps.
And I guarantee you that your lack of sleep had a lot to do with it lol.

I want to throw a shout out to Big Boss.
been doing his suggestions. I know last week I said I did 285 for 8 with knee wraps.
decided to try it again no wraps. got it for 8
Then decided to throw 300 on there and squat 4 times.
I want 365 1 rep max by New Years.
