> Ok, so I got everything straightened out. My routine is pretty solid, For each type of workout I have a Power Set, 1-2 Muscle Sets, and a Burn out set which is 1 set @ 40 reps usually. I am getting the major three, bench, squat, deadlift, and hitting the minors as well. 5 day routine.

You’re not eating enough protein (but not too far off), overtraining and not going to gain a pound of muscle a week, LOL (or even a pound a month all-natural). If you need me to have someone that is FAR bigger/stronger than ANYONE on here to tell you the same thing, I can do that if it’ll make you believe me.
