"Well I lift for one hour a week once. I bet you're not 6 times stronger than me. In my opinion three seesions of two hours duration is way too much, unless you're not really training intensively.

You don't gain strength when you weight train. You gain when you are recovering from weight training.

So I think you're doing too much, unless you have incredible genetics or a "chemical boost"."

I train for about 40 minutes three times a week. How long should I wait to allow my muscles to recover? Also how much protein do I need? I recently started eating more fried eggs and I think my weightlifting has improved because of it.
