There has been essentially no change in the amounts I am lifting. I feel that I am paying due attention to diet and sleep as well as my workouts. Should I be concerned that I have not experienced any sort of increases in the weights I'm lifting? Thanks.

You should give your body a little more time before being sure or not of your results (at least 6-8 weeks). How often do you train? (do you recover completely in between every work out?) -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere.. my weights had been set the same for a while. Then one day I decided to try upping them a bit... and found that I could! I had given myself a mental block of sorts. I had my bench set at 120lbs for a couple months... then once I broke my mental block upped them to 160 lbs. (yeh quite a jump to do overnight) I don't want to give advise which could get you hurt of course. But challenge yourself and see what happens. Good luck and keep at it! -------------- Dont wait! Procrastinate NOW! =)
