Step back and reevaluate your goals. Maybe they were a bit ambitious? I think many of us are our own worst enemy and beat ourselves up when we don't achieve what we want as quickly as we want. Perfection isn't always attainable, but excellence still is. Whatever happens, if you didn't live up to your own expectations, never let the reason be that you didn't work hard enough.

I keep Pushing to no Avail for 8 yrs.

Take more tren...

But really... maybe you're at maximum potential without superphysiologic doses of gear constantly

Like above. In my case no hgh and no insulin at big dosages of gear took me from shredded 87 kg to shredded 100 kg. Tried for years make myself bigger but accepted my genetics and after lowering gear I am around 97kg lean and this is fine by me. Not everybody can be mass monster. Starting point, gear response, age etc. I know I did. EVERYTHING I could do get it to point where I am. So it is how it is.

My opinion and experience tells me that when overall progress stalls,
take some time off. Not just a day or two, I am talking a month or so.
Do zero weight training during this period. I have always maintained
that if you are worried about losing appreciable size or strength during
this period, it was not worth the effort, or having, in the first place.

So . . . in most cases, upon resuming training, train less, not more.

And employ negative exercise wherever you reach a ‘sticking point’ in
a particular exercise. Or do that particular exercise less frequently,
not more.

Your results and development depends upon your goals and your individual
potential which is hereditarily determined. And good heredity (genetic)
makes good results possible, it does not produce them.

years of training and age will have an impact eventually. what is yours

 

[Love_to_Bodybuild]

You do what you can

Yesterday I did chest and arms and got creative

Today trained with a training ngvoartner, we used to train eighteen years ago, and our first training in five plus years

A good training partner definitely helps gains

Not everyone can be a mass monster that is absolutely right. Depending on how tall you are, a shredded 100 kg is quite big.

For once I don't really agree with you Ron my friend. I've never seen any benefit from taking weeks off training and I do train hard when I'm training. Different strokes for different folks I guess

No one can make linear gains forever eventually you get older you reach your limits and you can either give up and get fat or you fight hard to maintain
