help for a newbie ;o

[workingbrian]

so i have been lifting since august 2003. i am 16, and i have hit a pleateau in my endeavors. i came across the wannabebig website (so im here for the first time) and came across the routine. so if i follow the "Routine Split and Exercise Selection Part I and II," I could expect to overcome this plateau and continue to go up the mountain? please make any suggestions!

oh yeah - i am currently on a diet (i was always overweight) and im wondering if this could play a factor. since i'm in school, i don't know how the 5 - 6 meal plan could be feasible. what is an optimal eating plan for muscle gain/weight loss that is possible for a high school student? thanks.

i look forward to posting here more.

Don't make excuses for not eating right.

You finish school and head off to work, you get stuck with an areshole boss making you push 60+ hours a week. How are you gunna eat then ?

It is easy to plan and prepare ahead. A bit of thought and preperation into your diet will go a long way.
