Getting really frustrated with my progress now, my weights dont move for ages on end and then when they do the next week they go back down as I struggle. :(

Feels like im going backwards most of the time! Anybody else get this feeling? Really annoyed last night at my session :mad:
 
Not cutting no, I stopped creatine few weeks back now. Same routine for around 3 months and I took a week off just 2 weeks ago now.

My diet (ill give today as an example)

12:30 - Boiled new potatoes, 2 pork steaks
(about to eat 100g mixed nuts)

I do vary them, I do say leg presses instead of squats some weeks and swap BB stuff for DB's on bench presses and so on.

I have gained around 4lbs in like 6 weeks maybe bit longer

I goto gym after work because I dont wanna train hard and then goto work, as my job is quite demanding I prefer training after and then sleeping to rest up.
 
Cant stand scrambled eggs, thats why i eat poached. I have 3 on top of 3 peices of wholemeal toast.

Also I should mention I work shifts and I get 10min breaks on lates (which im on this week) at 6:50 and 10:30

I work 3:55pm til 12:20am so getting up earlier is not an option. After I train, shower and get to bed its about 2am.

Reason for preacher curls, I was reading for a longer bicep muscle preachers help, I have some height but lack in length. Also the high amount of calf raises I was reading these (and I know from experience) take quite a lot of stress to train hard.

Military presses are already seated, but I was planning on doing BB ones this week actually :)

I do eat quark occasionaly at night, not bought any for around a week though.

Its back day today so I will change to CG on the pullups and change to maybe a straight bar for cable rows?

A2Z I have o3 caps each day and usually have fish around once a week, I hate the stuff so its hard work eating it :p Thats also the reason for 100g mxied nuts every day for the poly/mono. I do eat apples/bananas every day, but need to do some shopping :)
 
Thanks for all the replies its appreciated getting so many peoples advice.

I basically just stopped CEE as I had ran out and have not bothered getting any since. Im gonna do a bit of a shop on MP actually so will no doubt order some. Quick question tho, you can get the powder which most people put with OJ, can this be made together in advance? I dont have time to be mixing at work. Well give or take 30mins-45 before I should be taking I get the oppurtunity too.

Also following that basic diet schedule, what would people have for each meal? My days are different so if I was post my day could people make suggestions. :)

Also the yolks are the best bit I dont think I could eat an egg without it :p
