hey /fit/, for the past year ive been lifting (bench, shoulder press, up right rows, tricep pushdowns, squat, and leg extensions/leg curls). for the first 6 months i was lifting in class, we would squat and bench one day and do some extra exercises. we only had to do these extra exercises once a week.so anyways, when the class ended, i continued lifting, only instead i would bench one day and do all upper body, then i would squat the next day and do all lower body. seeing as how i would lift 4 times a week i was doing 2x the amount of extra exercises in the week. ever since i started this, my maxes havent gone up. and its been like this for about 4 months.so my question is, does doing extra exercises not allow your muscles to heal quick enough (doing shoulder press every other day)?also i wanted to point out that after i took a 2 week break, i was able to get all my sets on shoulder press (75, 85, 95) 10 8 6. but then the next day that week i couldnt get 85 even 6 times. and its been like this for about a week. am i working out too much? is this what is causing my maxes not to go up?
what are your maxes and how much did they go up? also what is ur weight?

Eat oats on the days that you aren't squatting, then on the days you are. Progressively load your oat count every workout.
MOAR PICS OF THIS HOT GIRL THAT I WOULD LIKE TO FAP TO.
>>354667what do oats count for? carbohydrates? shouldnt i be taking protein?
>>354682Oats count for Food of the Gods. It's a new macronutrient that combines everything good about the other ones.
>>354682Carbs are pretty fucking important. Cells construct of carbs and protein.
FUCKING SAUCE NOW.
