@Lebbaeus Body building is not my thing but strength training for athletes is. A little more protein than you need is rarely a problem but too little is, so its better safe than sorry. What you are doing sounds fine, I would just make sure its good stuff taken at the right time.
When you consume it around your exercise makes a difference as does making sure you have some carbs with it.
Whatever advertising says, I can't help but think that quality protein is worth investing in -eggs, steak, fish must surely be better than those protein bars and shakes. Even if the protein in those things is as no more available and ideal than the stuff in the products (which seems to go against logic as its often long stored, vegan friendly nonsense), there is so much other good stuff in the real food that will help you. Those protein things you can buy are often so expensive that real food is much cheaper too.

How many grams of protein do you guys aim for per day?
I weigh 67kg and my calculated intake is 90. My ideal aim is to stick to 135 as I think 2g*67= 134. is 90 really that low?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1hYObyCH5k. An outstanding lifter showing exemplary form on conventional deadlifts. He was a few years older than me, and I was never at his level, but we knew a lot of the same people. One of the youngest winners of nationals if I recall right. He pulled 700 in his mid-50s. He recently had kind of a mysterious death.

@lurkerhasarisen There's a big mental aspect to it. You can't set limits on yourself, but also don't want to push too hard and get injured and set yourself back. A 10 lb increase every few months adds up big over time. If you are making steady increases on the routine you're doing, I'd keep with it and just see what happens. You might investigate whether any assistance exercises would help. Close stance box squats to a low box helped my deadlift, as did good mornings, but different people respond to different things. The key is not to think oh, I'm a certain age so can only do x amount. You've got more gains in you if you go about it sensibly.
