	2005/02/10, 09:04 AM If you're changing your routines fairly regularly, then the answer may be in your diet. I've gone through the same situation where you make big gains and then stall at a certain spot. My solution was to gradually add more calories and strictly monitor my protein/carbs/fats. After that, the gains started again, though naturally at a slower pace than before.
