Plateau

Are you training your tail off and eating everything perfectly and still not seeing gains as you were say a month or two ago. You may be hitting a slight plateau. I have done it and am actually starting to come out of one. I tried everything by switching up routines that I found online and eating more junk food to add extra weight because I wanted to have that appearance in the gym when my shirt was on. Well both terrible ideas. The workout programs for me at least are just not cutting it. I never used any but my own until now and they just don't really cut it for me. I find best is that when you take maybe a little knowledge from each and throw into your own workout regimen. They all have great philosophies when it comes to their lifting strategies so why not just use something from each to throw into your weeks of hard intense training. And as for eating junk food to gain the extra calories well that isn't the best idea either. If your like me you have a mental block when  it comes to getting out of shape which makes you stay away from the fast gaining "bulking" stage which consists of all types of junk food. For being a natural bodybuilder you cannot do this "bulking" stage. You may gain 1-3 lbs of muscle from it but you will also gain multiple pounds of fat and fat cells that will be hard to get rid of and not worth it, and will also make it easier for your body to gain fat later on in life. If your serious and committed in the Natural fitness lifestyle, don't mind the slow gains that eating correctly will give you. Just stay focused and keep a mental reminder that your healthy and your still making gains. Also that being a  natural means that it will take longer but will be well worth it.
