It'a all about progression and training beyond your comfort zone. A journal is a great idea to track your progress and to identify if you are getting to comfortable with your routine. Think about being uncomfortable when you train. It's not supposed to feel good. Also, you are young, and possibly on the ectomorphic side. The most important thing for you is to make sure you are progressing, but even more importantly, be consistent and keep at it! Carl,

I have been the same way pretty much. I just recently found out that my problem was that I did not keep track of how much I lift, but also that I stuck to my workout plan to much. You should try lifting a few more reps than you usually do and after you have done about 4 reps over what you started with then add some more weight. "The only rule for building muscle is progression." -Brad Howard It's the truth too! Hope this helps! p.s. Make sure to have a notebook or something and write down the exercises you do along with the amount of weight and reps. If you do not add more weight or reps to your exercises then it's possible that you won't gain. Carl,

There's no way I'm going to eat out by myself again or even eat any kind of junk that I can live without! If you think about it, really why are we eating junk that only leaves taste in our mouth for that time and that time only while it's not only giving a great taste, but it may also be ruining your immune system just a bit. I have been trying to stay very healthy because in my family (5 sisters and 2 parents) if someone gets sick, there's a HUGE chance that the next person will get it. It's not exactly fun. I have not been sick for awhile and I would like to stay this way if I can. Thanks again, Michael H P.S. I retweeted this blog post. I hope my followers have read it. :D Brad P,

I didn't really make any progress as an adult until about 3rd or 4th year university... that would have put me at 21-22. I think everyone is different, that's why I always just give a rough range. B Carl,

Would you say this whole 'growing boy' has come to an end? Or should I still focus on eating plentifully to gain (My diet = fruits, veggies, nuts, sprouted grains, healthy oils, and fish/lean meat). I like to fast one day a week, and usually eat ~2,200 cals, train 3-4 days a week, and stay active.. but I am just not making strength gains... Brad,

There are so many factors at play, but basically if you have been training for a long time, are not 20 years old and are still trying to gain muscle, I see no reason why you could gain on both programs.

Jason Ferruggia is another guy whose work I like to follow and implement, but for gaining size he recommends: "If you are trying to get bigger and stronger you have to add weight to the bar; AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. You have to eat way beyond the point of being uncomfortable. I’m talking about having a fork in your mouth for the majority of your waking hours. There are some guys who will argue that you can gain size on a caloric intake at or slightly above maintenance. They will talk about “dry muscle” and other nonsense. This is good advice to follow if you want to remain a pencil necked geek forever. If you want to gain size as rapidly as humanly possible you have to eat inordinate amounts of food and lift incredibly heavy weights. There is no way around it." So is it true that you cannot lose fat with the ESE lifestyle and gain size on JF's program simultaneously? Obviously they suggest opposite strategies and are for opposite issues, losing and gaining. Would it work to cut fat with ESE and then gain size with "clean" eating on JF's advice? Or do you stand by the idea that nutrition has little to do with size. For clarification this is for someone looking to pack on serious mass. Thanks! Michael Hey Brad,
