You have to get a few factors in order and then persist at it, ' rome wasnt built in a day'. It takes dedication and patience.


As for your training routine, IMO your overtraining big time!! And as squatty pointed out your doing a lot of isolation work. Which IMO is more for advanced trainers and not relative noobs like me and you.

Everyone's opinion will be different, and there is no right or wrong answer.
What matters is are you making 'progress' ?? Are you putting weight on the bar every week??

If i was you i would do a push, pull, legs split. Concentrating mainly on the 5 big exercise, squats, deads, bench, military press and chins. They are the mass builders, especially squats and deads. Adding in only a minimum of other exercises.

Get yourself a good diet, train hard and add weight to the bar each week, get plenty of rest and 8 hours sleep a night and your start to make progress.

Remember 'more isnt always better ' mate.

Your training routine is more suited to an AAS user IMO

Keep it simple mate, good luck.
