Not sure what to do

[shawnie1]

Ive been going to the gym for almost a year and im definitely fitter and stronger then when i started but it feels like ive hit a wall where i cant seem to make any more progress

My numbers arent going up and when i try to raise them i hit a wall and have to finish the set at my original weight

I dont plan on stopping cause at least id like to maintain the strength/fitness i have but im wondering if anyone has advise to get past a wall

Hey,

I'm more lazy than hit the wall, but creatine kinda helped to push my boundaries. Have you tried it? Ashwaganda can also help.

Creatine isn't protein. It helps your muscles with initial explosive movements. You take 5mg daily and you'll notice its effect over time, so consistent use is very important.

Are you eating enough protein? The general suggestions is about 1gram per pound of body weight. Eating enough food in general is also important. You'll want to get enough carbs and water the night before your workout and continue to eat enough carbs on rest days.

Changing your workout routine occasionally to focus on muscles that you may be missing will help your body build general strength that can help you push past current limits. Or working with a personal trainer can be helpful to identify problem areas or creating a new routine based on your current plateau.

Abel Albonetti has some very tough muscle specific workouts that helped me grow.

I get about 170g protein which is a little under but not far from what you stated

Im gonna try get some routine mixup and look into creatine, appreciate the advice
