There are some pro's in both nutrition and in the lifting tecnique forums that I will assure you can get over the hump.

4000 calories is a decent amount for a bulk and to add some mass. But the guys in the nutrition sectionwill tell you exactly what you are doing wrong/right. You may be needing more calories from fat, or it could be from carbs. I know for me, fats are a no, no, but carbs are a must. Once you post andput up your diet, they will practically do the work for you. I am going to be posting mine up soon to get some great advice. BTW, if you have never used AAS, dont start with orals. If you ever decide that they are the route you are going to take, post up a proposed cycle here after reading the stickys and first time users guide. Good lucktoyou buddy!

Diet aside for a minute, if you've been doing 5x5 and working your chest twice in four workout sessions for the last 5 months, you're working it too much. Time to change up for a little while.
I would work chest 1 day given your current schedule, anywhere between 10-15 reps per set, 4 sets per exercise, 3-4 exercises. Switch to FB DB's, BB Incline, BB Decline also throw in some flies from time to time whether they're FB DB or Pec Deck.

We have a great Workout Forum here too. Check it out.

Good Luck
