Work out question.

[DAM]

Ok, so I have been working out the most I have ever worked out in my college career. About 2-3 times per week, plus 2 soccer games per week. Now, I have not changed my diet much except for avoiding sweets. I have done this since January and I have not gained or lost a pound. Any explanation for this?

Muscle weighs more than fat. The fat you are converting to muscle.

 

[yobarman]

you're not training hard enough, or your diet is still wrong.

90% of losing or gaining weight is what and how much you put into your body

I think I have been working hard enough, I am sore atleast on a weekly basis and I have gone up a good amount of weight since January. I can understand that diet is important, but I would of imagined that I would see some weight fluxuation.

It is hard to gain weight while doing heavy cardio because you cannot consume enough calories. The two games of soccer a week (plus any running/biking you may do at the gym) are detrimental to gaining weight.

That doesn't mean that it's not healthy, of course.

How do your pants fit?

So have you gained weight or not?

sorry gone up in weight in my workout. Not as in body weight.

You said that you were sore on a weakly basis.
Try resting more.
Don't stress yourself while you workout too.

I have noticed a very very slight change in my waist but very slight pants still pretty much fit like normal.

are you trying to gain or cut weight?

I do arms and chest then legs then repeat, I figured that was enough time in between, what is the rationale behind resting more?

I am trying to gain weight, I am 5'9" @ 155 lbs. I would love to see a 10 lbs increase of actual muscle, cause I know I can go up 10 lbs drinking beer

Eat lots of protein, and keep working out like a mad man. Some might suggest cutting cardio, but cardio is healthy and good for you.
