Article: Big Chest Strategies

You glossed over your diet, but you mentioned that you eat 170 to 200 grams of protein each day. That doesn’t even equate to one gram of protein for each pound of bodyweight. If you’re training hard and trying to add muscle, you need much more protein than that. At 182 pounds you should be eating at least 225 to 230 grams of protein a day.

182x1=182g of protein daily so the upwards of 200 does equate.
 
Never mentioned ..doing squats and back work will help this dude put size strength and maybe his bench will go up also!!!!

Agreed, I don't think his protein intake is the problem and the author saying otherwise makes me shake my head. I think 1g/lb may even be an over estimate.
 
By training chest at the end of the week he is already burned up the majority of his energy. As someone who understands the problem of a lagging chest I was advised by a previous training partner and Mr Idaho, to always do your weakest bodypart first. So by doing chest on monday you are able to put in the most effort. Do legs on fridays when you can rest for two days...

I would say look at how you are training; strength, hypertrophy, or endurance. My experience shows that if you train endurance strength will increase but size will be slow at best. Strength training will increase size and endurance, but size will depend on diet... I have found that by training both for strength and power, AND build your strength-endurance, you will get bigger as you develope both type-1 and type-2 muscle fibers.
