What exercises are you doing? And are you doing 8 sets per bodypart?

There are a lot of excellent programs here under the EXERCISE PROGRAM button. Why not pick a total body workout and follow the rep and set scheme and see what happens. The weight you use should be determined by your efoort, the last few reps of a set should be tough, but not so hard that your form falters.
Following a program has many benefits - one being that it is designed by someone who understands progression and how to gradually build strength and size.
