Usually if the size ain’t comin, its usually diet related. Same goes for leaning out. When was the last time you changed up your workout regiment? Maybe you’re over-doing the cardio? There are many things, but usually its what we’ve been doing too much of the same thing for too long and the body has adapted. Superpump is good for feeling full, but really its not going to put the lasting size on. What’s your program and diet looking like presently?

Hey! Thanks for answering my blog
I just changed my workout 2 weeks ago. I go to the gym 6 days a week and do cardio 3 days. sun~legs, mon abs~carido, tues~back bi’s,wed abs~cardio, thur~shoulders~cardio, Fri~ chest tri’s.. Like i said i just started this routine… I eat every 2 or 3 hours, eggs, fish ,veggies, nuts, fruit, protien drinks, peanut butter, low carb wraps, oatmeal…Yea that stuff all day everyday. I don’t eat meat, so i eat fish all the time!!! I want to stay lean, just add muscle!!

Hmmm… no meat, eh? Seems to be more common these days. Fish, unfortunately, has a pretty quick digestion time versus poultry or red meat. You could try adding lentils in as I’ve heard they’re good for protein. I’m a red meat kinda guy myself, so I’ve never pursued the lentil avenue myself. Any idea how many calories you’re totaling up to with all that?
A suggestion for the workouts that I’ve done for a good while and now always train is to do chest and biceps one day then back and triceps another. For one, it stimulates all those muscles twice a week instead of once. Plus, doing them like you are now one is always going to be tired before you hit the other. So instead of working two agonistic muscles, hit the antagonist also. Also, how long are you doing the cardio? Keep your hear rate under 140 so you don’t start making the body get its fuel by breaking down muscle. Usually 30 minutes on the treadmill at its highest incline will work best (2.5-3.0mph works best for me)

No worries. What I’ve found is easiest to do is make up a spreadsheet in Excel with foods you commonly eat. You can find most anything on nutritiondata.com. I put the food, portion/serving, calories, protein, carbs, sugars, and fats in their own columns. Then make additional sheets in the workbook with diet ideas. Its easy to cut/paste and make up a formula row at the top to total it for you. Then just play with it until the numbers fall where you want and keep adding to the food page. I will suggest though that you group them to make it easier, ie supplements/produce/fish/etc. just to make it easier to find what you have. Or if you’d like, PM me your email and I’ll shoot you what I’ve put together so far and give you a running start!

myfooddiary.com Try it!!!! Its so easy to keep track of everything.
Trixter747 pretty much covered everything, but one thing I would stress on is cardio, it seems to be to much. Especially if your running or biking. When I was doing my contest prep I was only doing 2 days of cardio (walkingon an incline) for 35 minutes..If my leg workout was strenuous enough I would be aloud to skip cardio. You can loose muscle on too much cardio. And looking at your images, it doesn’t seem like you need to be loosing much fat
Keep track of you macros! Less cardio
Hope that helps

To avoid plateauing arm developement I always suggest training arms exclusively by themselves. Dedicate a day to biceps and triceps. Training back and bi’s together puts a halt to bicep developement because the muscle is so heaviuly recruited in completing back work. You don’t want a rippling back and mediocre arms do you? Arms are more important than back anyway.
