What are you eating? And when?
1g proteing per pound is great if you are a bodybuilder, but you don't really need that much otherwise. But you do need to eat after you workout and you need to get some protein. Preferably a shake or protein bar with high quality protein (whey). But chicken is also good. Protein from beans (even soy) is trash but is better than nothing.
If you workout without eating afterwards your body won't have the materials it needs to rebuild your muscle.
Also, try mixing up your routine so you don't always do exactly the same thing.
When I lift I am noticably weaker for several days afterwards, but when I get into a routine I still gain strength even though I never feel 100%. However, don't be afraid to lay off for a couple days to see if you are somehow overtraining.
Do you lift until you just can't complete the excercise anymore? How tired do you feel immediately after an excercise? How long do you lift for and how long do you break in between sets?
