hey guys, I am new on here, and just want some of your expert advice. I have been lifting now for the better part of 2 years, and have made some good progress, going from 140-185 lbs, gaining minimal fat along the way. My question is, at this point in the game, how many days a week should I be hitting the gym, and when there how many body parts should I be hitting, and for how many sets, reps etc. As it stands right now, I tend to hit chest 3 times a week, as it is my favorite part, doing 10-12 sets ending with a couple drop sets at the end. I will usually couple this with another major body part, such as back, again doing another 10-12 sets with a couple burnout sets at the end. To cap off the workout I will then do a few sets of another body part, like some light shoulder flies, or a few sets or hard pullups. I usually hit each body part, in this same fashion, with the exception of my favorite, chest, twice a week. ANYWAY, sorry for the babble, but what I am getting at, is how would you guys suggest I spice up my training? Am I hitting the gym too often, at 4-5 days a week, as well as how can I start to make progress again. Again, I do go fairly often to the gym,but I just love it, and find it hard to not go. I have also suffered minimal injuries in the last 2 years, which to me would signal that I am not necessarily overtraining, but again, being stuck in a plateau have be believing otherwise. Please hit me back with any pointers!
Also, my sups are fairly minimal consisting of whey isolate, creatine monohydrate, and flax seed oil.
