    Hi

    I've been following a circuit training programme for 5 months. Use weights and a swiss ball. Pretty intense. I have increased the weights Im using but to date while my body feels really hard and I can see a lot of definition (and I deffo feel good) Im not seeing a lot of growth. Im eating like a horse to keep my weight up

    Should I be using whey protein/creatine suppliment or moving to hypertrophic exercise for growth?

    You're either not eating enough, or lifting heavy enough.

    Circuit training is not the way to go for growth-research a good programme and heres a lil sumthin sumthin on the direction you have to bring your eating-this is an extreme example but a steady an constant increase in calories will be required.
