Time for supplements?
I've been lifting for a while, kind of go in spurts, 3 months on 1-2 off stuff like that. I like to keep it totally natural, all i do is eat as best i can and take protein shakes when i dont have the time to eat. My gains have been slowing recently though almost to a stop, and i'm wondering if anyone else has gone through this is and if so any advice they might have.
I'd rather not take supplements, but I would consider it. If it helps, i weigh 180, rep 185 and max 230-235 on bench and basically all the other lifts are equal in relative strength to what one would expect me to do for someone benching that amount.
Also i'm a hard gainer, i have to eat like a machine when trying to gain weight/muscle for it to happen, and my weight has also been increasing slower than i'm used to. I eat as much as 6k cals a day and still have only been gaining about a pound a week, maybe just over.
Any insight as to what I need to change to see better gains? Plateauing sucks.
