I'm a skinny guy and I like to do heavy weightlifting to compliment my swimming but I don't know what I should be taking to make gains because lately I've noticed that I have plateaued and my lifting sessions are hardly worth it, what can I do? I also run long distance in track and that probably doesn't help me build muscle because it cuts weight I try to gain. I need some help on supplementation and sets/reps I should be lifting to put some bulk on.
*Please refer me to other threads on the subject that might help me if you can.
Just a guess, but your long distance running might actually be consuming the muscle you are building as fuel. Catabolism I think it is called.
I agree. You may need to increase your protein intake or you can take an amino acid supplement. I know a really good one if you want some advice. Send me a personal message if you're interested.
