What's your diet like? If you want to lose fat while gain muscle your diet needs to be on point man.

Research a bit more and I would do 500mg for 10 weeks , but you need to do your homework maybe throw in an oral the 1st four weeks.

you could probably gain 5 pounds pretty easily with diet and training alone. how many calories a day do you eat?

 

[johnd316]

My diet is around 3500 calories 150g of protien a day. I lift 3 days a week supper sets alternate muscle groups till failure 1 to 1 1/2 hours. 3 days a week I do cardio around a hour with 1 day off. I also play vollyball on sunday night for around 2 hours.
My problem is I can't change size at all.... I work alot and have been the same size for around 2 years give or take 10 to 15 lbs. i can get to 185 but mostley water and fat.

uh. well. Let's see to start you need to eat more/better go look up my post in the diet section. As for training you need to really be killing it in the gym to see growth on a 3 day split... I workout 4-6 days a week myself. my focus is strength and power you want to ask some of the bodybuilders for some muscle building advice if hypertrophy is your goal.

I try to kill it but i am still sore from the last work out.

I try to kill it but i am still sore from the last work out.

...Three probable causes of this:
1.Your calories and or supplementation is not enough to meet the demands of your body...eat more food eat esp protein and starch carbs +plenty of veggies. take a vitamin/creatine/BCAA/fish oil
2.You are over training your body..get more sleep and don't always work til failure.
3.You have not been working out long enough to have developed the muscular endurance needed for intense weight training sessions.

I suspect it's your caloric intake

basic logic. if what you are doing is not working.. CHANGE IT

change your workout. do less w/ more intensity. start one of the more common programs like 5x5 and stick to it like glue.. no modifications

change your diet .. eat more protein.. aim for like 250g 6 meals a day w/ 40 grams .. you dont even need protein powder.. but if you do use it.. make it in addition to the 240 from whole food.
