i weigh 178. i wat complex carbs every meal along with a green vegatble lunch and dinner. about 7 meals a day. anything else needed?
Bro, you are doing thesame thing i used to do back in the days when i was a new to training, b4 i ever touched and prohormones. Look back then i used to train hard and consistent and eat lots of protein, some complex carbs and some greens to go with every meal, i ate 7 times a day each meal consisting of 40-50grms of protein. Guess what? i was not growing, but i was getting strong and vascular as hell, eventhough i was doing zero cardio. I did this for two years straight and gained may be 10 pounds or so in that time. Then one day some dude at my gym told me that i was eating enough meals and protein but i was not getting enough good carbs and fats, that once i increased those i will taking in enough CALORIES to grow.
You might be getting enough of the protein, but try eaing protein that have denser amount of calories like red meat, chicken breast. GET YOUR CALORIES UP. Once i started eating redmeat and chicken breast along with my diet i used to do back then, and then substituting with 3 weight gainer shakes BOOM BOOM i blew up, that year i gained 35-40 pounds of muscle mass, with no supps but creatine and whey protein (homemade weight gainer).
Eat enough calories and train heavy 6-8 reps per set, keep the volume down, rest your body, DO NO OVERTRAIN. Don't be a prisoner of over training like i used to be and most of the gym goers of today.
As far as a good stack to bulk up with once you get you diet and training on track
Week 1 to 6 Phera-x
Week 1 to 8 Finigenx
Week 8 to 15 X-factor
Week 8 to 12 NHA stack (Pct)
This combined with heafty calorie intake and madman training, enough rest should give you enough mass to satisfy your craving
