    Hey all, first post. Just wanted a few opinions on how I train. I am in the Army and have been lifting on and off for about 5 years. With training and deployments getting into routine was hard, but now I am in a job where I can really get serious.

    I am 6' 215lbs. 36 years old. I train with a split 6 days a week, back/bi, chest/tri, leg/shoulder. I take 10g EAS Phosphagen (5g before, 5g after workout) daily, 40g protein shake after workout, and 300mg Alpha-Lipoic acid two times a day. I lift heavy 4-6 reps on the first split of the week and medium 8-10 reps on the second split. I am pretty satisfied with where I am at. What you could possibly help me with is the little tire I can't get rid of around the middle. I also would like to add another 10lbs of mass and stay right around 225.

    I eat about 4 to 5 meals a day high protein, drink alot of water, and cheat every once in awhile. I am not interested in competing or anything like that but any suggestions or improvements are very welcome. Thanks

    Welcome to IM.

    So, what prompted this post? Have your gains stalled on your current routine?

    As for the 'spare tire' - check out the stickied threads at the top of the nutrition forum. There's a ton of information there on how to drop bodyfat.

    Yeah pretty much I guess, I have been stuck at 215 for about 6 months, I eat and eat. I could probably pack on that other 10lbs pretty easy if I stopped doing cardio, but the in the Army you have to be able to run. I'll check the nutrition threads
    thanks

    Try mixing up your routine... there's a myriad of different things you can do. Since you train each bodypart 2x a week, is it safe to assume that you're not taking each set to failure? You're training relatively lightly?

    If so, you might consider moving to a once a week routine, but increase the intensity. Or if you've been training to failure twice a week already, you might try taking a week off and easing back the intensity/volume of your workouts.

    Check out the journal forum, there's a ton of training logs in there you can read... might find something you'd like to try.

    I would reccommend you post a typical days meals and macros, that would give people a better idea on how to help you loose the spare tire.

    I would try the many different proven workout programs such as HST, MAX OT, DFHT, etc. Try each program for 8 weeks, take a week off and try another, or if your happy with your gains, keep using it until the gains become stagnant.
