10lbs in one year is NOT that bad dude, especially if your 48yr old. Just be patient, your routine looks fine. | ||

I heard that at that age you body is practally finished growing and isn't producing what you need to grow. You will get stronger and definitely improve you health and lengthen you life but at a certain age the only way to grow is to introduce and outside stimulate. ie grow hormones, steroids. (Don't take this for gospel, I just heard it from a guy at the gym) | ||

You want to bulk? You're doing way too many sets, especially for legs. You're 48 years old, you can't train like you're 20 anymore... | ||

1.) Learn to use lower-case letters and punctuation. 2.) Abbreviate your routine to allow for much more recovery time. Focus on the basic, multi-joint exercizes (Squats, Bench, Deadlift). 3.) Get lots of rest. 4.) Only workout two - three days per week. 5.) Watch your nutrition carefully. 6.) Watch your stress levels. Enjoy life and enjoy your time in the gym!  | ||

can i just ppoint out that on 3000kcal a day, you wont get big... If you want to grow, you are going to have to lose some definition.....its that simple. If you are natural, you have a choice between seeing your abs in the mirror each day, and growing. Id chose growing. Drop some sets, up the food intake by about 250kcal for a week. See what happens. Up it by 250kcal each week until you are gaining a half pound or so each week. Now you are growing. Cheers, G. |
