Thread: Help Getting Past Plateau

Hey guys, I have been working out for a while now (am 6'0 170 lbs) but feel I am hitting a plateau since I am not making much if any gains. Right now I workout about 2-3 times per week for 1.5 hours each session. I do more of a total body workout but hit all of the main muscle groups for 3 sets of about 8-10 reps. Anyone care to give any advice for a new routine? My diet is as follows:

Breakfast:
-2 glasses milk
-cereal
-waffle
-eggs
-banana

Lunch:
-2 glasses milk
-chicken tenders/other chickens
-big turkey and cheese sandwich
-white rice
-banana/green beans

Dinner:
-2 glasses milk
-2 chicken breasts
-turkey and cheese sandwich
-peas and banana

Snack:
-One or Two Protein Bars

Thanks guys, any help or suggestions greatly appreciated

Switching routine to something like push / pull / legs could also be a great benefit.

Excellent advise

Mista has you pretty well covered. That total body workout is what brought me here a few years ago. I thought I needed to start doing steroids to get around my issues. Instead I went to a routine like Mista posted and I'm 20 pounds heavier and waaaay stronger now.
