I could say easily...go for 5x5...but if that's what you do now it won't help you...I hope that made sense lol... -------------- If hard work and persistence were the keys to success, most people would opt to pick the lock.~Dick

Take a step back and look at how you are eating as well...enough protien? vitamins? Enough calories? How consistant are your workout? Look through some of the back-posts on people with your same dilemma and look for responses from the FT moderators. After 9-10 months something's got to change. Good Luck. -------------- OPINIONS ARE LIKE ASSHOLES, EVERYONES GOT ONE. NOW, SHUT-UP AND GROW!!!
