it seems i hit a brick wall after about 3 weeks of working out and dieting. :mad: i see big differences in strength, size, leanness, but i just feel tired. last time i quit for a week and it seemed to hurt my gains and i dont want to stop again. anyone else hit this wall and what to do to get through this??? :confused:

your body is giving you signs to back off the workout.. go lighter or less reps.. When I am in my "zone" i wil workout hard for 6-8 weeks and then take a week off and then hit it again.. your body needs the time to get used to workouts and at other times the body is just tired and needs rest. Sometimes I will it it hard for 3-4 weeks and then I have a terrible workout week.. i learned to just go easy that week or just do cardio. Taking a week isnt bad for you and you will have your strength

You must constantly change up your workouts. Do different exercises for the muscle groups after a few weeks or even between each muscle group day.
Suppliments also help. I like the V-12 turbo drink.

what's your diet look like?
If you are not seeing results and are feeling tired a lot then take a week off. I usually do my best lifts after a weeks rest.
