Dropping gear altogether could work if your a serious lifter i wouldn't recommend it.. from my experience heres what i recommend..
Gear:
1. Drop all orals, for some people orals destroy appetite & actually cause the scales to go backwards this is the case for myself.. even if appetite is reasonable, i still know people who have gained better after dropping the orals.. no idea why, just my experience..
2. If you haven't included insulin in your cycle, maybe its time to give it a go, aslong as you genuinley feel maxed out & feel you've ran out of ideas. Insulin when used SAFE might be the spark your looking for, i use insulin without hgh & still gain well. Watch that fat intake tho.
3. As simple as it sounds, check the legitimacy of your gear?
Diet:
1. The obvious answer would be to up calories in the form of healthy protein & fats & carbs, add another meal. But as we all know this is easier said than done. Heres 2 tricks i learnt to get extra calories easy.
2. Cheap chocolate bars. I eat one 100g milk chocolate bar a day on top of my normally diet, its the cheap 30p nasty ones you can get from asda. Each bar is 500 calories, i nibble it throughout the day, its not the healthiest option but them 500 calories might be the fifference between eating for maintence or above. The fats & carbs let you use the protein from your other meals for muscle building purposes.
2. Try drinking a full 4pint of milk a day on top of your normal diet, this will provide atleast an extra 1000calories a day. Try having a glass of milk with each meals. Full of good protein aswell.
