No muscle gain and a trainer telling me to do what I was already doing

Did you go to school for this stuff?

tell me why you aren't gaining muscle then

if you know what you're doing

@Deleted User I had a fair amount of progress when I started, and then it came to a screeching hault

@GT1646 that's called a plateau

it passes

@TheKekscernist I was taught how to lift by 3 different certified trainers

So all you did was lift?

@Deleted User how many years does it take to pass lol?

as long as you make it out to be

Lol what

i overcame mine by lifting over maximum

but only doing like 3 reps

So I'm just supposed to lift for years on end praying one day I magically get stronger?

within a month i gained more muscle

It's all you were doing was lifting, then yes, you are going to plateau. You need full body workout routines, with cycles that last months, and focus on different parts of the body each week

and if you've been fat most of your life, you aren't going to look like a bronze god without plastic surgery to get rid of all that flappy skin left over

^ i never did full body workouts, it was always single muscle focused

I'm not fat

I have more fat than I'd like

@GT1646 @Deleted User Listen up. I'm 145lb at 5'10. I'm thin and lean. Wanna lose weight? Diet. Wanna help your heart? Get good sleep and take fish oil pills for the OMEGA-3 Fatty Acids, (DHA and EPA)

But I've never been "fat"

@Iakovos i already know remus XD

Working out burns calories.

@Iakovos lol getting good sleep

That's a joke

getting good sleep does help the heart

It's 5 AM and I'm still awake

if you don't eat right but you work out you're just overloading your body and that's bad.

getting good sleep lowers blood pressure and helps the immune system

Yeah if you're not sleeping worth a damn you can work out all you want it won't make any difference

I can't sleep,

Sleep+Diet+Good Cardio Exercise.

staying up late increases muscle atrophy lmao

I try to as much as I'd like, I never get good sleep

we found the culprit

Yup

I don't stay up on purpose

lifting weights gives you muscle + more mass + more pressure on the heart.

You NEED sleep to develop muscle mass
