Bumped my protein to 200-220g per day for the past few weeks. Strength much improved from where it's been and down 15lbs so far in a few month. Deadlifted 2x bodyweight for 3 sets of 2 reps today. My strength usually plummets fairly heavily when I start cutting calories. Been getting between 1700-2000 calories a day and added cardio. Best my hips have felt on squats and deads in the past few months. Maybe the added protein IS helping me recovery better.

Nice!
