Feel as though I need to vent. This thing called "weight gain" is a pain, imo! It feel as though I am doing everything right imo; the results are slow in coming. I know people say it takes time; how much is the question. NO, I am not looking for a fast way to get this done. It seems as though the results are not equaling the work that I am putting in. I go to the gym twice a week. Go hard every time out. The muscle gains are evident. The weight is another story!

On top of that, I try to manage my diet to the best of my ability. I try to get the recommended protein/carbs/fats. This is easier said than done. My issue seems to be that I am taking in more carbs and fats than protein. Don’t know why this is, when most of my protein comes from chicken, fish, pb, peanuts and other forms of protein. Is there something that I am doing wrong? For those who are wondering, no I don’t take any supplementation. I stopped that a while back. I have tried protein shakes; it did nothing but give me either gas or a case of the - - - -s. The only thing that seemed to help was the creatine; I have been off of that now for ~ 2-3 mos. Almost feel as though or I have given some thought as to going back on it. Does anyone else ever feel this way? Any thoughts, suggestions, comments, etc.?

Debating whether I should do the following: take the next few weeks off, cut back on going heavy, change the rep/set scheme or let my body rest or go light/semi-heavy to maintain my gains.Any suggestions, advice, etc.? Btw, haven’t been feeling msyelf lately. I have been having a hard time getting to get the gym; at times, feel as though I could go heavier; choose not to. Does/has ne1 ever felt this way? If som what did you do? Thanks for the help!
