Bro that routine is HORRIBLE. You work shoulders before chest, a larger group? Go to the women's board, and read Realgains post on proper training, you will grow. A similiar way to train is by Dogcrap, check him out too. Looks like it's time for some HIT for you.....

I think your diet is as much a factor as your workout, if not moreso. You eat like a horse you say? Let's see your diet. It sounds like you've also been blessed/cursed with a lightning metabolism which will make growth more difficult, but certainly not impossible.

Also, did you take the creatine properly? Did you take it every day? Did you give it at least six weeks before you decided it was worthless? Most people for whom creatine supposedly does not work, have not done this. Plus another trap people fall into with creatine is to expect AAS-type gains from it. Creatine works, in my experience, but not like gear.

So anyway, post up your diet.

The best way to take creatine: Take it every day at roughly the same time. On training days take it right before you work out.
