Alright, first off, I am a 20 year old male. Around 6'2" 186lbs. Started working out seriously [joining a gym and going routinely] about 10 months ago. Never really started any type of 'diet' until about 2-3 months ago. Throughout the whole 10 months, my gains have been very minimal. I am basicly the same weight as when i started, but just a little bit more muscular. I was leaning towards a cycle of test, but now after lots of reading i dont think i am ready.
My 'diet' isnt too strict, and im wondering if this may be a big problem. [Keep in mind, my goal is not to be huge] Basicly, i dropped the habit of fast food, i eat a lot of chicken, eggs, tuna, deli sandwiches [aka poorboys, some of you may know what those are], oatmeal, salads, pasta, mac and cheese. On top of that, i am currently taking vitargo cgl [creatine] and protein off and on
My workout routine is almost always tue/thur/sat the only thing that varies is the two days in a row that i take off, sometimes i feel the need to take off an extra day other than monday if i am still sore from the previous workout
tue-chest/back [flat bench, incline barbell press, incline flies, hammer strength decline, lat pulldown leaning back to work the back, cable rows, reverse machine flies]
thur-shoulders/abs [dumbell military press, barbell raise, shrugs, lat raise machine]
sat-bicep/tricep [seated slight incline dumbell curls, standing hammer dumbell curls, preacher machine one arm at a time and two arms at a time, cable curls, cable pressdown, cable pressdown reverse grip, one handed cable pulldown, tricep pushups]
there are also a couple more misc exercises i do but i dont really know what they are called..lol
i do each exercise for 3 sets, 8-12 reps, last set is always with a weight that i can only complete 8 or less reps. when i make it past 8 i go up in weight
no, i didnt forget legs, i am really not concerned with them at this point in time
anyway, sorry for the novel, but any input would be appreciated
