    You'll want to lay out your dietary outline to be critiqued.

    Could be a mental thing as well. I mean if you're hitting the weights like you say you are, you should at least be able to add 5 to 10 pounds on your last rep every couple of weeks. Are you forcing yourself to up the weights? Add weight to your normal routine, change it up. Say you're gonna add 5 pounds next week on your curls, and you are going to do it 8 reps. Get a spotter, and don't stop at 5, get a little help until you bust out all 8.

    Get a spotter and just do force reps at the end of each of your sets. Leave nothing for the next set basically.

    You have to have that down before you concern yourself w/anything you do in the gym in regards to training styles/spotters/etc. You could be grossly over-training and severely under-eating. My guess......
