    Help finding a routine

    Hello everyone. I'm 26 amd weight 180 pounds. I've been struggling to grow over the past year. Before this I was doing different routines, Fierce 5 was one of them. I grew on Fierce 5 in the past but now I've been doing Fierce 5 and I'm not growing. I've been lifting really heavy but getting no size. I don't know if it's because going back to Fierce 5 won't work anymore. Can you please give me a workout routine that will help me gain size? I can workout 2 or 3 days a week.

    If you're lifting progressively heavier but not growing or getting any muscle size, that's a nutrition issue. Muscle isn't going to grow out of thin air, you need to gain weight.

    If you're lifting the same "heavy" weights every week, that's also an issue.

    Do you know of a routine that's 3 days a week? It's hard for me to workout 4 days a weel.

    More information would be helpful. Height, body fat estimate and lifts on the compound lifts. Once you’re moving some heavy weight trying to get in enough volume on 2-3 days becomes very exhausting. That’s why most coaches move their lifters to something like an upper lower split for better energy management. Just like fierce 5 runs from fb to ul to ulppl.

    I'm about 9% body fat and 6'3. On squats I lift 265 lb on squat, 165 lb for Romanian dead lifts, 135 lb on OHP,and 225 lb on bench press. Can you recommend me a routine please?

    Any upper lower split would be ideal. Lyle McDonald’s gbr, fierce 5 ul. Or do a hybrid. Lower, rest, upper, rest, full. That way you still hit everything twice per week and you’re in the gym only 3 days . you’ll also need to bulk as naturals can’t gain muscle at that low of a bf.
