making gains without adding weight

BerryBlis · 11-01-2004, 09:28 PM

Hello,

I've been trying to put on some muscle weight for the last little while and have been following a 4 day split. I'm doing usually 3 sets per exercise and about 3-4 exercises per muscle with 8-12 reps per exercise (to give you sort of an idea of my workouts). Anyway, I've been making decent gains in my strenght, like I'm able to lift more weight however have not gained any physical weight (on the scale). What do you think the reason would be? (gaining some weight is one of my primary goals). Would it mostly be related to diet?
Thanks for your opinion!

unless your training is completely retarded, it is related to diet, go read the stickies in the diet nutrition forum.

It's most likely related to diet. Up your cals.

Post your diet in the other forum
