Hi people, I would appreciate some input from any of you experts out there on my training routine and diet etc.

I am 35 years old 5'8 tall and currently weigh 151lbs (68 kilos) with 9% body fat.I have been training for 2 1/2 years and over the last few months I seem to have plateaued on the weight I can lift and muscle gain.

My current training routine looks like this:

Warm up- 10 mins on x-trainer

Mon/Thurs:
CHEST

Flat barbell bench press-4 sets 10,8,8,6 increasing weight on each set
Crossovers-3 sets 10,8,6 as above regarding weight
Incline dumbell press-4 sets 10,8,8,6 same weight
Pullovers-3 sets 10,10,10 same weight

BACK

Lat pulldowns-4 sets 10,10,8,6 increasing weight on each set

I alternate the amount of sets I would do for chest/back on mon/thurs ie 4 sets of chest 3 sets of back on a monday then 3 sets of chest 4 of back on a thursday and the same with shoulders and legs just to mix it up a bit.I try and fit one abs session in a week depending how knackered I feel at the end of a session.

My diet consists of a typical day like this:

6:30 large bowl of porridge, glass of fruit juice
9:30 3 pieces of lean back bacon on bread, tea or coffee
12:00 chicken breasts on bread with salad, yoghurt, piece of fruit, water
2:30 4 scoops whey protein with water
5:15 3 scoops whey protein with water (after training)
7:00 Steak/chicken/salmon (1 of these) with jacket potato, rice, veg, water
9:30 bowl of pasta or noodles or scrambled egg on toast, 2 scoops of whey with water.

I take CEE each day before training

My goals are to put on a further 14lbs (6kg) of lean muscle so any advice anyone can offer to help me achieve t hiswould be appreciated.

Thanks Mike
