Been training 6 months
I have been training for approximately 6 months now, and whilst I saw good muscle gains in the first couple of months, I no longer seem to be making any gains. I keep wondering if I am overtraining. I train each muscle group 2 to 3 times per week and give it everything I can when in the gym. I eat correctly, getting the protein and carbs etc and do not eat junk food.
Doubt if you’re no longer making gains… you’re learning and growing in ways you don’t realize. The body is adapting and responding and the growth will come… six months is almost brand new to the process…
Never quit, be strong, and in time you’ll know what to do… instinct and commonsense and experience are your best guides…
Got the basics right… you will then apply yourself confidently with renewed awareness… Training is a painful compromise and also a great joy… You’ll see as time and practice and trial and error go by and you become knowledgeable and understanding… You are your best trainer and partner, if you persist and trust yourself.
