gains are slow. any help is appreciated.
OK, I'm 25, 6'3", 180 lbs, about 10-11% bf presently.
In week 6 of 10 weeks on Test Enath @ 500 mg week.
I have gained about 8 lbs. some of it fat. I suspect that I should be seeing better gains by now so I am looking for advice on what to tweak. I am looking a little thicker, but true muscle definition is still eluding me.
TRAINING: I have cut cardio to 1 day a week (3-4 mile run @ 8 min mile pace). I train with weights 3 days a week. Monday is chest and shoulders, Wednesday is bi and tri (arms), and Friday is legs and back. I do about 4 exercises per body part for at least 3 sets with heavy weight for low (8-10) reps.
DIET: Eating whenever I am hungry. Detour bar after every workout. Protein shake at wake and before bed. Lots of snacking on tuna and almost every meal includes a large chicken breast... mmm, I admit I have had problems being consistent with this. I eat out a lot at moderately fancy restaurants... meaning they give hearty portions of fairly healthy food (unlike fast food).
SLEEP: have not been sleeping as well as I would like because I am in the beginning of what I hope to be a serious relationship (no, she doesn't know about the gear). My mind races a lot at night and I think my quality of sleep is suffering because of it. I am still trying to get 8 hours a night, but I usually wake up 2x a night. On the positive side, since I am already awake I find my way to the kitchen to get my grub on. ;)
RECREATION: I drink no more than 2 glasses of wine at a time, and it is only 2 times a week at most. I don’t smoke or use any other recreational drugs (anymore, hee hee). Basically, my recreation includes fooling around with my lady friend(s) and watching TV or reading.
Any thoughts on what I can/should change? :scratch:
