What am I doing wrong, please help?

[GSD]

Hi

I'm a 26yr old male, I weigh 95kg (200lbs) and I'm 6'0" I've been trying to put on muscle for over 1.5 yrs. I do all weightlifting at home using a pyramid cycle. Training for 4 days and then 2 off, I thought first of all I should clarify my training cycle;

day one
Bench press/incline press
Flys
Pullovers
Bicep/preacher curls

day two
leg extensions
squats
Hamstring curl
Calf raise

Day three
Lat pull down
chin ups
bent over row
shoulder shrug

Day four
Shoulder/military press
lateral raise
upright row

two days off & cycle repeats; every 4 week I have a week off.

I eat around 2000 calories a day with about 100grams of protein, made up mainly of chicken and not supplements. I know I should be eating more but if I do eat more with protein supplements and take it up to 300 grams protein a day all I do is put on fat and not muscle. I think I've got the training right it's just my diet and probably genetics holding me back. I'm getting more and more demotivated, its hard keeping going with the lack of results. I'm getting tempted with the use of steroids such as Deca Durabol but I thought I should get some advice first. Am I wasting my time using steroids, I'm beginning to think I'm not designed to put on muscle.

Hope you can help.

your nutrition sux, sux, sux. at your weight (im assuming your not fat) you should be eating at least 200g or proteing and your calories should be in the range of 4000cals/day coming from clean foods like oatmeal, potatoes, rice and various veggies. for protein eat tuna, chicken, steaks

Agreed. At least double your total calories and triple your protein intake. You cannot mass build muscle and expect to put no fat on at all. Eat clean foods - lots of them.

I think 200g of protein is plenty for anyone....

Prove that you need 300+.........................?I?

Anyone?

Eating every 2 1/2 hours as a bodybuilder should between the hours of 8:00am and 11:00pm means 7 meals.

It is proven that the average person can assimilate 45g of protein in each sitting and digestion usually takes 2 1/2 hours, depending upon the type of food.

This is based on the average person, not a bodybuilder and amounts to 315g. Not to mention additional protein that could be consumed during the night. A bodybuilder involved in intense resistance training would obviously need more for maximum growth and if steroids are introduced, these actually improve protein synthesis, therefore allowing more to be absorbed.

I am currently consuming 465g per day in total.

seges right in regards to diet in order to gain size you have to have at least 4000-5000 calories a day with emphasis on the above mentioned complex carbs but also your routine must be split up as well hitting 4 major
bodyparts 4 days consecutively is not enough time for recovery i think you should train mon-tues,thurs fri with wed and weekends off also make sure to get at least 8 hours of sound sleep a night and why is precher curls thrown in on chest day you should train them either on back or arms seperately,good luck
