Hey fellow meso folks.
i thought i would tell ya whats i thought about doing feel free to add your own input.
So ive been lifting for about 3 years and ive stayed the same weight 180 the whole time. I eat more than ever and my workouts change up from high rep medium weight to low rep heavy as possible but never gain any size. Ive done one cycle of sust mind you and didnt gain anything. i eat like a horse and still no gains. so i wondered if i should get a trainner although im not sure what they would show me that i dont already know thats just kinda how im feeling. im 5'7 180 with 13%bf any suggestions? now when i say ive been lifting for 3 years i mean like ive been going monday threw friday weekends off no skipping.

My Brother,
Obviously you are doing a few things wrong. More research into size gaining workouts, and size gaining nutrition.

First off all I suggest old school weight training. Destroy major muscle groups (tons of weight, tons of sets) just once a week per body part.

Second, Eat 2 grams of protein per pound of body weight, tons of quality carbs.

Even without gear this should make you bigger. With gear, 500-1000mg Test EW, stacked with 400-600mg of Deca, or EQ EW.

Rather see you do it naturally, but this is an anabolic board. LOL

Above are the basic rules of BB 101.
BTW, I have been a personal trainer, and sports nutritionist for 20yrs.

thanks for the reply!

I cant get around the fact that i DO need to eat more. As for the workouts you think i should just workout one bodypart a day heavy low reps?

[Thickneck]

How many sets are you doing ? Do you do aerobics ? Are you getting 300 grams of protein a day ? Are you going to failure or going thru the motions ?

[meltdown]

I switch it up week/week 3 sets of 10-12 and 5x5 the next week. 300+ grams of protien and eating about 3kcal a day. but as for going to failure you mean by going till my partner has to pick the weight up? no. going till i fail just by myself yea.

For the longest while now I have been taking almost as many rest days as lifting days . Get in , bust your ass then leave .

ya like this past week i did the 5x5 workouts. although monday threw friday i lifted heavy as hell. ive notices gains in strength. for instance about a month ago i was doing flat bench dumbells and my highest for 6 reps was 80's now im pushing 95-100's all day long for 5 reps. But as for the aerobics question you asked me i dont really do any.

i was in your shoes for a while also, couldnt gain weight or seem to add muscle for the longest time. First thing i did was look at my diet, you say you eat alot and intake alot of protein, i started takin ON serious mass, 2 full servings a day, started eatin tuna, pb sandwiches, protein bars, just intaking alot more protein, carbs, and calories but eating clean, that made me start to gain weight, with my training, now one week ill do 3/6 and last set ill do 1/25 on each exercise, next week ill do 3/12, and last set ill go real heavy 1/3-6, now i get sore again, and notice im gettin gains again, good luck though

[meltdown]

ya i think im gonna switch it up after this month is over.

[meltdown]

i just think its a bit weird though ive been hitting it for comming up on three years now and like i cant develop my chest or my legs. it seems as though someone would be like ya your just going threw the motions in the gym but im actually hitting it hard as hell just no progress with body transformation. Ill talk to people and theyll be like dude your arms are getting huge but thats it like only my arms ha. could there be a super hard gainer?

[xsosinglesogoodx]

yes, same with me at first my chest was growin, but now my legs, chest, and traps seem to be lagging, i know my arms growing to cause i measure them, its weird man, what i do now like i said before is switch up stuff all the time, try different exercises real heavy and a lilttle lighter, i usually try to stay away from doing alot of high reps or even having high rep days. good luck though

"i eat like a horse and still no gains"

Quite lying! Obviously, dude, you DO NOT! And this is not even an arguable subject. If you were eating enough, then you would gain weight. Period!

Also, after having read the whole thread,..........dude, your workouts suck balls! I don't know what else to say. Just stick with something for more than 2 days and you might see results.

Oh, and that's not to be mean or anything, just how I phrase stuff. You just need to be consistent with ONE thing in order to assess it's efficacy. Make up a specific workout and do it every time for 6 weeks. Then re-evaluate.
