Unless you have a squat rack in the same room as your TV, you're doinitwrong.
Here is the prescription:
1. Start doing heavy compound exercises - squats, bench presses deadlifts. Increase the weight you lift as frequently as you can. Google 'Starting Strength' for the best beginner's program of this type.
2. Cut down on the high rep stuff - it is good for conditioning, but does not make you bigger. Save your energy for lifting heavy weight for now.
3. Eat more carbs and fat. These support muscle growth. Healthy fats (i.e. olive oil, nuts) are best, but 'unhealthy' ones like milkfat will be helpful too. They won't make you get fat or have a heart attack. The author of the aforementioned 'Starting Strength' suggests that trainees drink a gallon of whole milk every day. Apparently it works.
My question to you: Why didn't you start doing something else after a few months when you didn't see any improvements from your current regimen?
