If you think that you can increase the workout days, then go ahead...but be careful not to overtrain and exhauhst yourself. over training is worse than not training at all, it can be the reason why you are stuck.

	2000/12/28, 05:20 PM How are you getting bigger if your weight is staying the same? If you are getting bigger muscles than you must be gaining weight. Muscle weighs more than fat. So unless you are losing the same weight in fat as you are gaining in muscle than something may be wrong. Is your scale accurate?? Are you taking your measurements?
