    Mass isnt improving as i liked

    Hi, ive been a regular gym goer for several years but i be the first to admit, that only in the last 3 months have i rlly be pushing forward.

    Common problem, im pushing well with weights, and last few months and increase workload. I vary alot of exercises and very conscience of form. I also include drop sets to truly fatique muscles. Im a slim tall lad which is why i got into weights, and despite the fact that there is change in my chest and mildly in my arms i weight fairly similar. I have been hitting over 100g protein a day for several weeks but feel my workload isnt being rewarded in my change, any advice.

    Do take protein shakes and try to ensure each meal is a high protein e..g breakfast eggs, snacks sardines, lunch meat dish, dinner chicken/beef mince, etc etc

    What's your height and weight? If training is on point, which I don't know cause you didn't show it, diet is probably not in check.

    If it's only been a couple of months then you haven't given it enough time to see any big results. That takes many months/years but be patient. it will come.
    A few things that could help optimize your gains: get on a proven routine. Truly fatiguing the muscles doesn't mean anything without context of volume, intensity, progressive overload, proper recovery, proper diet. Also, try to hit your body weight in protein. 100grams might not be enough for optimal growth unless you weight 100 pounds.
    And you didn't mention your daily calories or macros. You should know those and how close you are to hitting them every day.
