| It sounds as if you have a very good plan. Include some nuts and legumes in your plan as they are good protein. What kind of workout routine are you doing? If you are not already doing so, you may want to move to a split routine where you do back, bicpes and legs on Day 1, chest, triceps and shoulders on Day 2, skip a day, repeat the workout days, then skip two days. Don't overtrain, as you will not build muscle. Talk to a trainer at your gym because you need to have a routine that focuses on more weight and fewer reps. Just pushing yourself hard will not do it, unless you are pushing yourself in the right way. |
