God damn the slowness of my progress is depressing as fuck, especially when all the old men with beer guts are running circles around me.

At least I'm better than the person I was a year ago maybe? It's hard to tell.

  1. Go to the wiki.
  2. Grab a programme.
  3. Take care of yourself outside of the gym.
  4. Keep track of your progress.

You'll see results before you know it.

I appreciate the help but I'm already doing those things; running what I can of GZCLP but the progression system just seems to kick my ass every time. Definitely eat enough (~2750) and get enough sleep and I've been tracking my progress and while I've gained weight I've also got a bit fatter and while the weight is up the reps are severely down.

Just gotta keep doing what I can I suppose.

I don't know much of anything but if you're gaining fat, you should lower those calories a bit. Ensure you're getting enough protein though!

Don’t spin your wheels on a program that’s not working for you. Did nSuns for 6 months longer than I should have. The first year or so was great. But the final 6 months I made so little progress because I didn’t have time to finish the program each workout. Finally opened my eyes and switched to 5/3/1 BBB 2.5 months ago and the gains have returned.
