4000+ calories a day and still not gaining
There is something wrong with my metabolism. I can eat 4000 calories a day and not gain a pound.
I am 5'9" and 165 lbs. I never do any cardio, and I lift 3 days a week. I eat 4000 calories a day. I can NOT put on weight.

I don't get it. My weight is barely shifting. What I don't understand is that if I'm not gaining muscle, why aren't I at least shedding fat? I still can't see my abs show through yet. I am still skinny fat.
I also feel like I have hit my genetic limit on all my lifts. I can't break 220 on squat, 250 on deadlift, 95 on press, or 150 on bench. I also can't do rows or pull-ups because I can't figure out how to utilize my back and not my arms.
eat muscle building foods!
chicken,fish,broccolli,good fats,steak, oh and yea PROTIEN! prolly 2 grams per bodyweight for u,,and probably would'nt hurt to hit the gym 5 days a week!!!! good luck and lift,eat,sleep, to get big!!!!!
