    Training wrong?


    I have been back in training now for about 5 months, recently I have felt like I have hit a wall.

    I have started to do some research on it all, and have just got myself completely lost.

    I train 5 days a week, doing a different muscle group everyday, is this wrong?
    I have recently started doing my sets 5 by 5, as apposed to 3 by 10, is this wrong?

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

    You're in the same spot as many of us once were, and as a lot of people coming to the boards now are.

    The problem is, everywhere you turn you read something different, and quite often its poor advice not really founded on any kind of logic/research.

    So, I think a better question might be: Where can I get good information?

    You have plateaued, it is natural and happens to everyone. Need to shock your body, switch to a completely different routine, not just changing sets/reps. Try a full body workout, 5-3-1, HST, or even german volume training. You will break out of it, then you will hit another one and have to change it drastically again. Have fun
