What am i doing wrong!?!

[steroidnewbzie]

I thought maybe writing my stats, diet, workout rouine etc might let you guys help me figure out why i cant gain weight and muscle even tho i work out hardcore(maybe over do it)

In the morning i eat 2 poptarts, sometimes a bowl of cereal when i get the time. Then i drink a 16 gram protein shake and go to school for about 2 and a half hours, then i have lunch consisting of usually 2 slices of saus pizza, or 2 big macs and a large fry. After that i go back to school for an hour and then go home, wait an hour, then i usually eat a ham sandwhich or 2 hotdogs and have another 16g protein shake. Then i have soccer practice from about 2:30 to about 6(where i get a LOT of cardio done). After that i go to LA fitness for about 2 hours. then i come home and drink another shake then sleep for about 6 hours

day 1 i work on curls, pulls downs, triceps, and squats
day 2 i work on bench, calves, and abs (bench max is 210 and im 170lb)
day 3 i rest
then repeat the cycle continuously.

I have huge pecs compared to the rest of my body. My arms are very long and lanky and i look unproportioned from my chest to my arms. Overall im pretty slim. Im trying to figure out a better workout routine that would make my arms and the rest of me much bigger(strength not being an issue atm)

Any comments would be great, thanks ahead of time!

i don't think you shuold be eating the pizza and the big macs. you also might want to change your workout schedule, you are working your arms two days in a row. i think you could add a few more parts to your workout aswell.

im not expert though, maybe u should wait for a more knowledgeable person to post, thats jsut my opinion

Aight dude, here goes:

The diet, although it isn't clean and I wouldn't recommend it, I won't tell you to change it for 2 reasons: A) You're trying to gain weight, assuming however possible, and B) Practice what you preach, and my diet sucks as well so I really can't tell you to clean it up. I can however tell you to TRY and clean it up a little. Also, ADD more protein. I count 3 shakes at 16g (total of 48g) and a diet that doesn't provide much on its own. You need AT LEAST 1g/lb per day to gain weight, probably closer to 2g/lb.

Training, I'd do several things:
1) DIRECT LEG WORK, I.E. SQUATS
2) DEADLIFT
3) Don't work the same bodyparts (such as triceps) 2 days in a row.
4) 4 days lifting, 3 days off, or some other split like that, where you hit each bodypart 1 time per week

Example of my split, works well for me, but modify to fit you:
Monday: Chest
Tuesday: Back/biceps
Wednesday: Off, cardio
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Shoulders/Triceps
Saturday/Sunday: Some form of active recovery

I really don't think that the big macs and pizza are too big of a problem for you, rather I think that the biggest problems are that you are actually not getting enough calories in your diet. I see that you do an average of 5-6 hours of fairly strenuous activity, so you burn off as much as you take in. Try to go to 5-6 smaller meals per day. Figure out what your maintenance calorie intake level is (the amount at which you neither gain or lose weight) and then add 500 or so calories per day above that. Switch to a more well rounded weight program, which INCLUDES LEGS.

Hope I could be of help. PM me if you have any other questions.
