    Need new training program losing all motivation need help

    Stats
    170 lbs
    23 years old
    11% bf
    Diet is 80% in check

    Hey everyone,
    I did one 12 week cycle of sus 1 year ago. I have kept all but 4 pounds of my gains. Since then I have not gained any weight only maintained.
    I want to go back on but have decided to work out hard for another 2 years.
    How ever I am starting to lose motivation due to the fact that I had planned on doing another cycle but now am not and have not gained any weight naturally.

    And yes I know I was young when I did that cycle- That is now out of the way. It was a personal choice.

    My current work out is:
    Monday - Chest

    Flat Bench 3 sets x 8 reps
    Incline Bench 3x8
    Chest Flies 3x8

    Abs after

    Tuesday- Back

    pull ups 3 sets max out each one
    Cable row 3x8
    lat pulldowns 3x8
    T - Bar 3x8
    dead lifts 3x 8 - 6 - 4

    cardio 30 min

    Wednesday- Legs
    Squats 3x8
    Leg press 3x8
    leg extensions 3x8
    ham string curls 3x10
    calf raises 3 x max out

    Abs

    Thursday- Shoulders

    Military press- 3x8
    lateral raises- 3x8
    forward raises - 3x8
    rear lateral raises- 3x8
    Shurgs 3x max out (no more the 8 reps)

    cardio 30 min

    Friday - Arms

    Straight bar bicep curls- 3x8
    Skull crushers - 3x8
    single arm curls- 3x8
    tricep pushdowns- 3x8
    hammer curls- 3x8
    last excercise is any tricep excercise

    Abs

    Sat/Sun OFF

    An idea could be use different rep ranges (higher for isolation movements and lower for compound ones) or use intensity techniques.
    Also you could focus more on the quality of contraction, rest times and on tut.

    you said your diet is 80% in check... fix that last 20.
    how tall are you?
    how long have you been doing the same training regimen?
    how about some rep changes?
    also what is your question?

    same program for 2 months

    I want my work out regimen reviewed to see where the flaws are.

    your major flaw is your diet....

    at 5'11, 170 you have plenty of room to grow naturally, and you probably did not take full advantage of your previous cycle's potential gains b/c your diet is not right....

    post your diet....

    The parts of muscles that can grow are three. They're stimulated with different reps ranges. If you're doing always 8 reps you're using 30% of your growing potentiality.

    I know where my flaws are in my diet. I actually have a stomach problem and find it very hard to eat every 2 hours & eat the proper amounts. I am working on it but it is not easy.

    Routine and diet don't really address motivation so if you're burnt out, take two or three weeks off.

    You should use different reps range apart from the 8 reps.
    Some excercises should have 6reps, other ones up to 12-15 (isolation movements).
