    Looking good to me.

    Now, the real question, which is maybe what is hindering your gains:

    Is your diet in check?

    good question....honestly I don't think I know enough to tell ya if my diet is in check. I basically only eat whole grain/wheat carb sources, I eat zero sweets or other junk, I eat a lot of lean meats, probably not enough vegetables and fruits. So In general I eat a lot of good foods, but probably not everything I need. Do you know of any good food guides to follow?

    seems a bit too low mann.... 2 sets for incline you said? why not 4 sets for each exercise, 3 exercises per body part except bi's and legs ofcourse.

    Well if I do 3 sets for a flat press, and 3 sets for incline press, shouldnt 6 sets for the chest be enough? I realize that pecs can generally be divided into 2 regions, but incline still hits a large majority of the pec region. Strangely enough, my pecs have grown better than any other region of my upper body.

    should I do more than 6 sets for triceps too??? I have read otherwise. Take into account that all of these sets are "hardcore"

    well i mean you should always try to switch up your routine. you may find that while you can grow with your current workout, maybe a few more sets here and there would be even more beneficial. try it out.

    Yes!!! Hit the diet forum now!!! It is lower in the forums listing pages, just above "The Lounge"

    Go there and check the stickies at the top. You are looking for a "Gain lean mass" kind of diet

    Good luck bro!
