What type of exercise are you doing and what are you expecting out of 3 weeks, like Raven says, 3 weeks is not alot of time! -------------- Nothing is too small to know, and nothing is too big to attempt!

Also put more protein in your diet and do it for 1 to 2 months and you'll get results good luck!!!!

Best idea to get over growth plateaus in my opinion is go for a two second pause on eccentric portions; do that no more than once per week per body part. -------------- --There are no versions of the truth.-- Jeff Goldblum, Jurassic Park II

walker67 Posts: 4 Joined: 2006/02/08	2006/03/13, 01:37 PM These guys are right . A full body workout it what is best . Im new to lifting and looking to get some muscle , i started the routine here at freetrainers . Im at week 5 and i didnt expect to get too much gains , but the last few weeks have surprised me and i am more than happy with the results im getting and im only half way thru . Even tho im working out my whole body through out the week , im seeing my biggest gains in the Biceps , Shoulders .
