What are your lifts?

What is your programming like?

Okay, so just looking at the last month or so of programming, you are not lifting a heavy barbell every day.

You should do that instead.

So, it sounds like I need to eat more and lift heavier. At 170 lbs., am I supposed to shoot for at least 170g of protein per day? Is it all right if this mostly comes in the form of protein powder? On rest days, should I still maintain a similar diet?

Aside from this, the main crossfit site, are there any other affiliate sites that might be good for me to explore as a daily resource for my workout routine?

from one beer lover to another, 15 beers in a weekend will certainly give you belly fat.

it's a trade off, if you want rippling abs you will need to give up the high calorie (high volume) craft beers.

Protein should come mostly from animal sources. Protein powder is a supplement, not a staple of your diet. Yes, you want to eat pretty much the same on rest days--that's where your body does its rebuilding and recovery.

And yes, 15 beers per weekend will absolutely affect your ability to get lean.

So you are saying my usual weekend WOD of AMRAP Max time Keg stands and 2 jello shots for 2 hours is not a way to lean out?

Gah, my weekends are shot.

Nah, you need to go harder and shorter.
