I need a trainer?

Question

I've been lifting for about a year now, I've lost tons of fat and really bulked up, but it seems I've hit a wall. I'm not getting any thinner or any bigger I've changed all my lifts, taken breaks, nothing works. I want to get a trainer but they're damn expensive, is there anything out there (online workout programs, magazines, books etc.) that you would recommend, I don't mind if I have to pay for it if it works.
I'm not interested in any pills or products, just workout routines.

I'm 20y/o 175 with a max bench of around 300lbs, max curl at around 60/arm standing

ex. when I go for arms/chest I spend at least an hour on just those two, I work very hard and change my weights all the time, I really feel like I'm maxed out and need help

Answer 1

every body builder hits this wall eventually and its ussually more likely because you aren't eating precisely which can make the biggest difference in the world as far as your progress and results are concerned. the best and most clear/concise book i've found on the matter is by Tom Venuto and its called "Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle" and is only available as an ebook at burnthefat.com. it will outline exactly what you should be eating, when you should be eating it and how much eating you should be doing to gain muscle mass. best wishes:)

Answer 2

your on a plateau its ok it happens to everyone at some point! I would change your eating habits a bit, cut back on bad carbs such as rice, white bread, sweats, coke etc...You know what your eating that you can change. You did not mention any cardio sessions that you do, I don't care what your trying to accomplish but you need to do SOME cardio to get that metabolism kicking. Add more weight to your routine, instead of benching 300 try 320 and the same for the curls, workout more often during the week if you workout out 5 times go for 7!!!

Answer 3

The main thing is good food replacement to repair damaged cells. Athletes are bad about doing damage to their bodies and not replacing the nutrition.

Answer 5

you don't need a trainer, you just need to add, more weight, and some more reps. most people do more weight, w/ less reps, the truth is that you need, more weight and more reps. and try to extend your exercises time wise.
