Bad Genetics looking for help...

I'm gonna hazard a guess here and say that when you train in the gym you may be using weights that are slightly too heavy for you causing you to slacken your form and use excessive swinging to move the weight rather than the target muscle. A lot of people do that and claim they can't grow, but that will be because every training session is cheated. Maybe ego training is one of the culprits. It's not all about heavy weight, it's about forcing your muscle to contract optimally and if that isn't happening, you won't see much muscle growth. Be true to yourself and re-evaluate your training methods.

ding ding ding, we have a winner. This is exactly your problem. As soon as you stop worrying about how much weight youre lifting, and worry more about how you're lifting it...you will start to progress. I lift a lot lighter than a lot of guys in the gym, but when I stand next to them I make them look like shit. I use heavy enough weight to get 10-12 reps with perfect form, slow negatives, lots of squeezing and flexing the muscle. If you want to mix it up a bit, start out with heavy rows, bench, squats, etc for your first exercise of the day. heavy meaning like 8 heavy reps with decent form. Then on your next few exercises use a lighter load and slow your reps down. really focus on the muscle you're targeting, practice good form, and squeeze all the blood into that muscle.

Yeah, a good quote by Kai Greene "I'll never be a weightlifter"

Though it's awesome to load the plates and haul ass from time to time

Just at first glance that diet needs work. 4 egg whites isn't much and how much chicken per serving could vary greatly. Try to measure your food and eat exactly the same thing day in day out. If no progress is made increase intake and eat same thing for a month.

over the years i've started to realize this... not about how much you can lift when it comes to building muscle. other day i was doing very strict isolated dumbbell curls with 30's can fatigue muscles very well, very controlled and squeeze. dude comes up to me and says "just kinda looks funny, you being so big and working with those wights " wasted a lot of time trying to lift like a power lifter and trying to build muscle.

i would say your diet needs looking at.. as well as your training routine.. training for muscle volume and training for strength are different
