Major Slump, Help Please!!!!

[tempest2003]

Okay, well heres the scoop, im 18, 170lbs. im taking in about 200g's of protein a day, along with about 10mgs of creatine and L-glutamine a day. Im benching 260, powercleaning 215, in 5 months i went from 205 to 260 on bench. in the last 3 months ive gone NOWHERE on any of my lifts while continuing my regular routine, im so frustrated i cant tell you how much. Im lifting hard, but not over lifting. Ive never done a cycle before, and im in track right now so theres not a lot I can do without adding a bunch of weight I dont want to add. Im a sprinter and cant afford any extra weight at all. My 100 time is at 11.6 as of thursday, i know its not hella fast, but could get me to state for highschool AA school size. I need some suggestions on how to get out of this slump. Im lifting an hr a day monday through friday and running monday through friday for about an hr a day, doing block work, sprints and some distance. Ive been taking protein after workouts and in the evenings. and creatine/glutamine in the morning and afternoon at 5mg each, anyways, ive heard its better to take protein befor and after workouts, so which is the truth? is it better to take protein before workouts? or after? let me know! Please give me any help you can, im so low on money right now, i cant afford any anavar or else i would totaly go for it, although I will take donations Anyways, thanks in advance guys, I appreciate any help you can give me.

Why not try changing your workout routine? If you hit bench one week hit dumbbells the next. The body responds best to change. Possibily the reason you're in a slump is because you don't vary your workout routine. Keep in mind, the body is an adaptive organism that responds best to change.

BTW, I don't think Anavar is the answer at your age. Take your Glutamine at night before you go to bed and take your creatine before and after the workout.

alright, i usualy train on bench tuesdays and thursdays, i usualy take wend. off all together, except running, i forgot to say that. also what about when to take the protein? thx again!

I would take small servings of protein (50 grams per serving) every 2-3 hrs from the time you wake up till 8PM at night.

Have you heard of H.I.T.? I've been looking into this training philosophy and several people claim they've been getting excellent results. This is a contrary method to what I'm used to. For years I've been hitting 1 muscle group a day 5 days a week. H.I.T emphasizes the belief that "Less is More". In some H.I.T workouts as few as 6 sets can be used to absolutely blast the whole body.

3 Day H.I.T Split

Day 1 - Thighs, Shoulders
Squat - 2x20 (You can go heavy if you like, instead use 3x6)
Leg Press - 1 set til failure (Done immediately after last set of squats)
Leg Extension - 1x20
Dumbell Shoulder Press - 2 till failure
Lateral Raise - 2x15

Day 2 - Chest, Tris
Flat Bench or Incline Bench - 1x10, 1x6
Dumbell Press - 2x8
Tricep Extension - 2x8
Close Grip Bench - Press-2x8

Day 3 - Back, Bis
Deadlift - 2x20 (Again like the squat go heavy if thats what you like, I prefer high reps)
Lat Pulldown - 2x8 (get a good stretch and alot of negative on these)
Rows (Seated, Bent Over whatever you like best) - 2 sets to failure
Barbell Curl - 1x8
Preacher or Concentration Curl - 2x10
