In the Mr. Olympia Video I watched a few weeks ago Dexter Jackson was doing his part of the video and while making a Nitro Tech shake the Camera guy Mitz who is the japanese guy who does all the videos asked him aout Protein consumption and he only takes in between 300-350 a day and he weighs close to 300# in the off season So even he is only taking ion just over 1Gpp of BW

If that be the case, then he could get by with cutting back to around 175 grams of protein per day during a deload. Protein requirements, like carb and fat requirements, can vary from one person to the next. But, whose to say Dexter couldn't get even bigger/leaner using 500-600 grams of protein per day during a reload?!?!?

I still believe based upon what I have seen throughout the years that it's best to err on the side of too much protein during a reload (higher volume training phase) if you want to maximize lean muscle gains.
