Sometimes followed by the most cursed unit....grams per pound....

Is that actually a unit that I have just never heard of or am I being dumb and not getting sarcasm? I really hope thats a fake unit

i could see it in a dosage situation. like grams of steroids per pound of user. sure, it's goofy to mix metric and imperial, but that's just what those two things are commonly measured with in America. time spent doing unit conversations is time spent not lifting.

Yeah exactly it's often used as grams of protein per pound of bodyweight for recommending protein intake.
