Hey, I've been trying to gain mass for quite some time now. I've increased my strength quite a bit, but I would like to start seeing some thickness increase. I started out pretty weak...I'm still weak but I'm increasing weight slowly over time.
I've been doing the 10/8/6/15 Total Body workout.
The progress I've made so far goes like this:
Bench: Start-135(Trouble @ 10 reps) Now-185 (8 reps)
Tricep Rope Pulldown: Start-20 Now-50
DB Shoulder Machine: Start-60 Now-120
Lat Pulldown: Start-100 Now-130
Bicep Curl: Start-45 Now-75
Leg Press: Start: 2 plates on each side Now: 3.
I've been doing total body workouts/1 exercise per muscle group as stated in Suncloud's thread, I feel as if it's been working. I've been doing it M/W/F and I generally don't do it in supersets because I enjoy being at the gym for a long period of time. The thing is, I still don't gain mass, but I DO gain strength.
I am pretty sure my problem is my diet. It looks something like this.
Breakfast - 4 Eggs/Shake
Pre WO - Shake/Ragnarok
Post WO - Shake
Lunch - Chicken/Tuna
Dinner - Shake/What ever is made (usually healthy.)
So if you guys can, please help line up a proper diet.
Also, is it okay if I work out M/T/W/T/F? I'd like to go every day, but I've read that ectomorphs need more time for recovery..but I think I'd make more progress if I went every day..and if you guys can could you suggest workouts that would be better to gain mass? And, is the TOTAL BODY workout REALLY the BEST way to gain mass as an ecto?
Oh, also, supplements I'm on include:
-Ragnarok
-Creatine (I don't take it cause the ragnarok has it in it...?)
-Universal Real Gains
-ZMA
-I also have some Activate Extreme that I haven't used yet...
