What's your diet like? Is your diet and training the same as your friend who gained 20 pounds? Even if it's identical genetics plays a factor. I'd appreciate if you posted your trining regimen and diet, and we'll try to figure out what's wrong.

yeah, it has to be the diet or training if your not gaining off of that. Maybe it just take longer for your body. Try to do what iamdwalrus and post your schedule of eating and lifting.

i have also known many people not to get much or anything from some Dura

i train everyother day 2 body parts a day and i started a new work out routine instead of pyramidng weights you do a warm up set and jump right into teh heavy weights to get your body used to them instead of tireing yourself out with lighter weight and since ive started i feal so much soreer and liek ive had better work outs, i eat 6-8 times a day lots of wendeys ,chicken,rice,steak,protein shakes, i consume everything in teh house so i dotn think its a matter of what i eat or taining im ust worried that if i have a sinus infection that could it be keeping my weight off even though i still eat liek a mad man and if i do have one if i take teh antibiotcs it will mess with my gains also....

It could be the way you train then. One warmup and jumping to your heaviest set is good for strength building but not for muscle building. Could you tell me the number of sets and exercises you do? Also when you said 2 bodyparts per day, is it all in one workout ot two? How much complex carbs are you eating? When I first started out I restricted eating carbs for fear of gaining fat but a little bit of carbs are needed for growth. How much proteiin shakes do you consume?

I'm sorry to hear about your sinus problem, I've been hearing a lot of people suffering from it lately, could it be the change in weather?
