I have been back to the gym for over a year now, i have tried just about all the supplement you can think of.

I am 33 years old
6feet 5 inches tall
300lb

I am trying to shred up but have hit a road block, its as if no matter how much time i spend at the gym how many reps i do i just cant get my body to move forward any advice

[spoken_truth]

what are your goals man? you just wanna shred up, or add mass too?

[big_ron]

Agreed, what are your goals?

Whats your bf%?

i want to do both shred up and add mass, My bf% is around 28%

[spoken_truth]

the main thing you need to do man to cut up is cardio...with a body fat high like that its gonna be hard for you to see muscle when you gain it, so i'd suggest to work on your diet and do cardio 4-5 times a week...i'd head over to the diet section and check it out over there cause they will be able to help you a lot man, but if you put in the work and dedication with diet and cardio there is no reason why you shouldnt be able to shred up and add lean mass

Cardio and a very strict diet will break you through that road block.

i think the problem is your diet mate.

regardless of sets and reps. weight training should help you loose fat. so you should of noticed some body fat reduction.

post your diet

Good advice there. Only 10 minutes of cardio is virtually nothing. Up that to 3-4 times a week doing 25-30 minutes, then when that stops working, bump your duration up by 5-10 minutes. Add another day in there down the road, up the intensity, etc. Personally, I hate cardio, but on a mean cutting cycle, get your Ipod and a good playlist and make it happen!

On a different note, what does your training look like? Sets, reps, rest between sets? These can all be manipulated more towards cutting or bulking depending on how you're doing it.
What would you guess your protein intake looks like? Hard to tell without quantities on the food.

protein intake is around 300-400 per day

unless those shakes are 100 grm of protien i count about half of that
diet is a mess bro no offence head over to the diet section and read a sample cutting diet
remember you need to eat to gain and you need to eat to lose

My good friend is in the same position... he is huge, but you can't see it cause of his body fat. He is doing cardio like a madman and I can see his muscles poking through. Soon enough, he will look great. You need to loose the layer if you ever want to look shredded. Cardio, and lots of it (HEALTHY diet too... of course)

bigjuice you have a 1098 that bike is a beast bro
