Hey guys and girls just wanted to say whats up, and to introduce myself. I am 29 years old 5'9" 200lbs probably 20% b.f. but i still look sexy. I have been hittin the gym hard for last 4 years, went from 140lbs to 200lbs naturally. I eat really clean but tend to over eat, I love food.

On the boards just looking for some good advice,but dont want to be a pain. There are 2 gyms in my town, but there are no decent b.b.s to ask advice from, so i am basically on this journey alone. Also on a side note i suck at using a computer so please be patient.

My first question is about workout frequency, i workout mon-fri, sat and sun off. I am pretty sure this is too much.

mon- chest
tues- back
wed-shoulders
thurs-arms
fri-legs

I read Big As thread on training every other day and think this is my best bet, as i am currently stuck haven't really seen any gains in the past year, but hopefully with help will start making gains again. I would like to put on about 15 to 20lbs of muscle.

Big A's sticky is very usefull information for begginers. I always had trouble finding a split that was appropraite for me. I tried everyday, i tried 2 days on one off. Right now i am doing DC training. It is a great split for me. I only weight train 3 days per week. So that leaves plenty of time for cardio, and recovery. As you stated....you have plateued. Try changing it up a bit, it is all about expermentation. Best of luck! Welcome to Pro Muscle!

Welcome!

I have been in your situation before. With that routine; If you don't normally take some time off every 8-12 weeks, I would start to. On that split, one week off every 8-12 weeks works well for me.

Don't get your body into the over trained state. One thing that BigA talks about that is overlooked a lot is the recovery of your CNS. I would go reread some of his posts.
