Stalling with strength gains/ muscle mass - next steps?

[Too-$mall]

You are lifting too often and probably too much. 6 days a week is not necessary. I got the best results doing 3-4 days a week. Research HIT and Mike Mentzer. Also, take a week off every couple of months or so. Your muscles don’t grow when you’re lifting, they grow when they’re resting.

i made this. not sure if it's trash. pretty simple solid foundation right? would you change it? This is what i follow when i can. life literally has me running a lot and doing endurance type things. i also enjoy my free time.



when i was following this strictly and consistently i was seeing progress, but i'd love to tweak it to make it better.

What is the difference between the "grow" days and the 2&3 day rest at the end?

That thing about 2&3 days is a note for how the stress periods (work out days/training) are staggered. each days training has 2 or 3 days of rest before the same muscles are stressed again. grow days are not the only rest days. The name "grow days" is misleading because on upper body training day minus biceps i'm still resting my legs and things from the training before. that's technically a rest day for legs and things, but i dont annotate it in the spread sheet because i wanna keep it simple. to see what i mean just count the days upper body is not hit on the spread-2&3 days. the same is for legs-2&3 days between another training. i can see what you mean though. having that 2&3 days thing in there isn't necessary. and it does the opposite of my intent, which was to keep things simple.

I figured that, it was just a little confusing to read.
