As for protein.
Im probably only eating about 100g on a cardio day and 140 on weights day.
I weight 70kg and am 5"8, with about 20% blubber.

Nice lift mate! I bet you could get more if you didn't wear them shoes thou 
Very solid pull Temi, impressive stuff!
Take the trainers off though, you might even get a few more kgs on the bar.
btw when I asked for proof a few pages ago, I hope you realise it was just a poke at you using a pad when squatting
Any videos of your squats? I know they aren't as big, but there must be something wrong with your technique given how nice your deads look.

I managed a PB of 5 wide-grip chins today \o/ they weren't the tidiest of reps but it's progress.

RDL's are arguably the best exercise you can do for the ham's. Technically difficult to get right as you need to teach yourself how to hinge at the hip and load the hamstrings to take the force off your lower back. Start light and elevate the toes to learn the movement, then progress to flat and then add weight.

The biggest guy I've ever seen in the gym was some huuuuuuuge black dude, might have been a pro? His bench warmup weight was 140odd and I think he ended up doing somewhere around 200kg.
I think his forearms were wider than my legs

Agreed, was working along side the American Air Force earlier this year. Some black guy loaded 200kgs onto a bar, deadlifted it with (no warmup) some awful form like it was nothing.
Guy was a riot too, only American I seen drunk every weekend. With a supposed drink limit

no m8 just low muscle mass if you were <10% you would look like youd been in a POW camp in vietnam, BF% is % of your weight that is fat and at your height with your respective lifts id peg the nail a little higher thats all. I have several annoying friends who are a bit on the flabby side who assume that a diet would only lose them an inch off their arms revealing a ripped bicep when in truth they carrying a few inches of fat easy just on the upper arms. Im 22% or so and you cant pinch any fat on my arms give or take. (arms is just an easy bodypart to single out as the difference between trained and untrained is easy to establish)
