Why not some meat? Fish? Chicken? Why the almost total avoidance of fat outside of “tablets” (this here is very telling) and yes some whole eggs. This reads like an early 90’s fat free Fitness America Pageant lab experiment.
Why whole body training if you aren’t gaining? I suspect your fear of fat has you trying to train to lose because you read, probably here that full body routines burn more fat. They may, but at least in your case this move everything while not REALLY pushing anything method is not working.
For all your “knowledge” you haven’t demonstrated the intuition to apprehend this simple state of affairs and adjust accordingly.
You are the quintessential poster boy for why the hell so few people are progressing these days. Head stuffed full of information and body going nowhere. Don’t take me as picking on you. You are not alone. I’ll say it again. I started with nothing.
No internet, no books, just a bunch of equipment and I really think guys like you would be better off like that than being blitzkrieged with mountains of resources like it is now.[/quote]
They try to out-think the effort. I haven’t seen one person yet who this actually works for, and I’ve honestly been on this site long enough that the idiots claiming they are going to “lose body fat and gain muscle at the same time” should have grown to extreme proportions by now.
One can only wonder why that isn’t happening and why those who actually focused on gaining as a primary goal have made the most significant progress.
It is like the concept of lifting hard is foreign. They run around chanting specific routines as if “full body training”, simply because you do certain exercises, is the key to building muscle.
One thing you can’t write down is how HARD you fucking lifted. You can’t write down the intensity level. You can’t calculate it out.
This is why you never needed to show off how many books you’ve read in the gym. This is what separates those that try to show off how much they think they know…from those who actually show it in their own bodies.
Most of these guys need to actually put the books down until they figure out how to balance EFFORT with what they think they know.
The specific program you are doing is LEAST important, regardless of who says it is the best one way to train.
Until you figure that out, no one gives a shit how many authors you can quote or how many name brand routines you can rattle off from memory.
Your professed IQ means shit when the game involves sheer will, intensity, focus and consistency.
