I eat every 2-4 hours, and get at least a gram of protein per pound of body weight, with at least 50 grams of fat. The rest is spillover from either of those macros but mostly carbs. Every time I add calories it is in carbs.

    Training: My split is Back, bis, abs; Legs, calves; Chest, tris, shoulders; repeat.
    4-5 exercises per muscle group, always 3 sets or more (I do not count my sets, I do as many as I want)
    I go as close to complete positive failure as I can every set excluding 1 warmup (I do not count reps, I go until I can't move the weight any more)
    The last set of every exercise is a drop set or a rest pause (go to failure, rest 15 seconds, go again with the same weight)
    The mantra I follow is: Go until I can't go anymore, don't pause for more than a second. Keep the tension on the muscle, so if I do pause pause at the contracted point of the movement. Come as close to complete positive failure as is possible. Give it everything.

    No I don't know everything, and I strive to always learn more, but I do believe that this is a solid base of understanding. I have used training logs in the past, hypertrophy "plans", strength training protocols, 5x5, pyramiding routines, military style training, circuits, and more. I know I don't know everything, but I do have some experience. I'll be taking a look at your training and diet logs on this site marcus. Thanks for all your help!
    The theory is good, but as you stated you've only put on 25lb in 4 years of training. That means you definitely haven't found what works for you unless 15 of those pounds came in the last 10-12 months, in which case you still have atleast 3-4 years until your progress is dramatically slow.

    25 lbs almost completely lean though Khazima. This isn't the heaviest I have ever been. So 25 lbs almost completely in muscle in 4 years natty? That can't be that bad right? Especially when over the last 4 years I haven't been on the same training program. Most of my gains have been in the last year with my current training style.
