Get your attitude right. Feeling sorry for yourself does not help with your goals. Getting your perspective right helps. Thousands, fuck, millions, of people are dying, starving or living in absolute poverty right now. You just fail to get bigger. You have problem what needs to solved, thats all.

Try something harder than 5x5. 5/3/1 For Hardgainers with plenty of food might do the job.

Grt yourself examined. If you honestly can not build muscle with proper train and diet, you have severe malfunction in your body. Your body is failing to do its job, and that can be qui siqn of something serious.
oh god. Another one of these “woe is me” threads.
You sicken me.

How can you know that they’re doing something wrong when you’ve done nothing right?
“Right” as in obtaining quantifiable results from your actions.
Who says you can’t build muscle from doing only machine exercises? That is absurd. There are many reasons why machines are not optimal for noobs but this is not one of them.
Your personal trainer is small. Don’t listen to him.
There are genetic variances but you are claiming to be on one extreme end of a bell curve here. On the other end is Ronnie Coleman. How many Ronnie Colemans have you seen in real life? Just a little lower and you’ll be blowing up trains looking for Bruce Willis.[quote=“azeqsdwxc, post:39, topic:219695”]
Nothing ever goes right for me.

That’s because you have the mindset of a loser. Change it.
How about a demonstration of what hard work looks like? This is one of those things where, the people who actually work hard can spot when someone isn’t, but those who have never done it can’t tell when they aren’t doing it.
You take a guy who has never actually had to physically exert themselves in their life, tell them to work hard, and they’ll push until they feel discomfort, then terminate the set. Reference how earlier the guy said he would quit the set because he felt his “tendons strain” or that the bar was going off kilter. For me, that’s generally when I know that I’ve gotten to the point of the set where I’m experiencing productive reps. The guys that are succeeding know that it’s pretty much about feeling a lot of discomfort a lot of the time.
This is from a recent workout I did. My plan was to get 15 reps, but I only managed 12. I screwed up the set-up and had my feet too far back, but that was my mentality going in. If you watch, right around rep 6 is where the magic happens. That was when I could feel the discomfort that let me know that every rep after that one was going to suck. In my experience, rep 6 is where people who don’t understand hard work will stop, not realizing that they may in fact only be halfway done with the set.

Thats the Nature of the Beast.
Are you paying the SOB? Either he is the biggest P.O.S at his job and is clueless on how to get a person to actual improve. Or are you not doing what he is prescribing you to do? Either way might be time to cut the ties and quit wasting each others time.
