Protein is a nutrient which is essential to the human body, particularly for the muscle tissues. Nutritionists recommend a daily intake of about .3 grams of protein for every pound of body weight. Bodybuilders and other athletes, however require more protein in their diets to encourage muscle growth and to nourish their bodies to handle the demands of their workouts. These people should get about 1.25 grams/day of protein for each pound of body weight.
The total amount of protein intake is important, but equally important are the sources of dietary protein. Most people are able to get enough protein from their diet; but many athletes require protein supplements to meet their daily requirements for this nutrient. Protein supplements are usually made from four different sources. Each of these protein sources is different and athletes should choose according to their needs.

Did you even think about your upcoming workout?
Do you record your workouts in a log book?
Do you know how much weight you need to lift or how many reps you need to do to improve?
