They think eating anything that has calories will make them grow larger muscles yet they grow none and wonder why (not consuming enough protein). Others consume nothing but protein and not enough calories. No excess calories = no growth. The same results will occur even if they are on steroids. I'm not saying you fall into these categories. Just saying that's the way it usually happens. I'm fighting an up-hill battle right now trying to keep my 19 year old bro off of AAS until he gets older.

Well I've put on 35 lbs since I started lifting 3 years ago, and to me that's pretty solid esp because my bf is about the same.

The real tihng I'm curious about now is whether or not the problem pertains to age or experience...because you had a really valid point.
