Okay I do mixed martial arts and I been working out for 4 years Now I do a lot of bodyweight training and cardio despite all of that I'm still weak and my bodies strength just wont grow my muscles won't grow I do a lot if weighted push ups and dips and alot of modified workouts to get stronger but for some odd reason my body won't heal or get stronger or grow. I sprint and run a lot but it seems like I get slower and slower. Also I have medical conditions like blood disorders and other things. I workout more then anyone in my neighborhood or anyone around me because where I live people don't really workout at all but yet they are still stronger then me. Please can someone explain what's going on with my body and why it won't grow or get stronger and build more mass? Thank you!

Set your goal here to maintain, just as a baseline, and log your food. When people complain they aren't making gains it's either because they aren't eating enough or they aren't following a progressive overload plan. It could be that you need to drop the body weight stuff and go lift. It's also hard for your body to get bigger, faster, and stronger at the same time without added chemical help (the illegal kind).1 -

I'm saying that you might be forced at some point to decide if you want to be bigger/stronger or faster.0 -

If you aren't eating enough or if you aren't getting the appropriate exercise for your goal then a supplement isn't going to do anything.0 -

Okay this is how my routine looks I get up in the morning stretch and do a couple of set of push ups till I fatigue. Then I go running and jump roping I do push ups along the way. I do dips and pull ups. I do burpees and mountain climbers.0 -

Your post history suggests that you have been working with a variety of concerns for a while now. Have you managed to incorporate some of the suggestions from before? Rest days, for example.1

How many chin ups were you doing weekly last month and how many do you do weekly this month?2 -
Might want to get your testosterone level checked.
Then you'll at least find out what you're naturally working with.
There's going to be a limit. 0 -
Eat more and get a gym membership. Seriously lol. Lift weights.0

Your "workouts" are cardio based or light bodyweight exercises. To build muscle you need a calorie surplus and a progressive weight training programme. The big MMA fighters you see, lift heavy weights (and are probably on drugs).5 -

Here are some of your responses above.
If you want help, you need to be willing to take the effort to put some time and thought into your responses. It's got nothing to do with being negative, I'm just not going to try and guess at how to help you. That's not beneficial to YOU.2 -

Without some hard data, it is really hard to offer you any advice. Hard data would be:
- What was your weight 3 months ago? Two months ago? One month ago? Today?
- How many calories have you been eating (daily average over a week)?
Actual real numbers, not estimated ranges (2300 to 2500.)1 -
You probably need to up your protein intake.0

I'm a woman but I can tell you, LIFT !!!
