Hi, I am on my last week of the mass building program and I wondered what I should try next. While I did not gain too much size or mass, I did gain strength on every exercise. I gained about an inch on my calves and my arms, they are now at 12.5 inches. I did not really gain much size on my legs or shoulders and I was doing a lot of heavy weight. My leg press maxed at 500lbs. My chest maxed at 120lbs. I just don't know what else to do to make my muscles grow, grow, grow. I want to continue building mass, but I got really bored of the routine every week. I thought about the progressive program, but it too is very repetitive only it has more sets and much higher reps than the mass program. I followed the program exactly and I didn't gain as much mass as I would've liked, but I am happy with my strength increases. I have been stuck at 120lbs for months. I follow a low-fat diet and I eat lots of protein and I take creatine. What else should I be doing? I want to get bigger! I am going so heavy and I'm not seeing anything! Help!!
