All that writting and you didn't tell us the amounts. How many calories are you taking in ? How much protein/carbs/fat ? Makes a difference if that steak you have is 4oz or 8oz and same with chicken or anything.

I would say that your not getting enough protein.

Pitysister · 04-20-2008, 07:21 AM

looks like you're only getting lean protein from food once a day...may want to try and get some more...

^^^^^what talo said

Ross86 · 04-20-2008, 07:51 AM

...And eat more frequently.

Ditto.

Also, if you're trying to get larger then I would get off those isolation machines. Hit up the barbells.

If you're just trying to tone and whatnot then I guess keep doing what you're doing.

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
