Stop doing anything for 3-4 days and just rest and eat. -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk! The Men and Boys are Separated by one thing: The Squat Cage! 7707mutt@freetrainers.com

What your doing is way to much and odds are you're not eating 4000 calories a day to account for the acitivity. Noticed you're in cross country...is Running required 6 days a week...if so you might want to focus on that and worry about weights at a later time cause it's very difficult to put on mass with such a strict cardio schedule. Just mark a calendar to do a bulk in the off season from your training. You can still workout in the gym, but don't kill yourself trying to put on mass.
