Make sure you have plenty of rest days as this is when the muscle grows.
Make sure you target a specific muscle group each session not do all of them in two hours. For example Mon=back, Wed=shoulders, Thurs=legs,
Fri=chest, Sat=arms.
Try and get REAL protein into your diet around 1.2g per kg of body weight maximum.
Have a rep structure. This will be determined is you are building for mass or tone. Low reps with high weights for mass and low weight high reps for
tone.
I would do 1 set of 10 reps then increase the weight and 2 sets of 8 reps then inc the weight then 1 set of 6 reps then inc the weight then 1 set of 4
reps then finish that exercise.

well i go up 3x a week Tues Thurs and Sun. Tuesday i hit chest and back, Thursday arms and shoulders and everything on a sunday. I started on protein
and creatine supps but realized that could buy me bits for my future 7. Ive upped the weights and kept the reps the same 15 to warm up on a lower
weight, then 8 reps on "workout weight". That seems to be helping but dont really see any gains / progression.

Have you just started of have you been doing it a while?
Are you trying to tone up or build/get bigger?
What are you like at the moment - fat effer or skinny pole?
Ta,
Pat..
P.S. Will respond when I know the above - not just trying to humilitate!

eat big lift big 
15x reps sounds a bit much though im no expert. If you can do 15 then its too light.

Difficult without knowing lots about you, history etc etc.
1. 1 body part per day, maybe 2 unconnected parts at a push. Seperate out shoulders and arms to diff days and also seperate arms into upper and lower
(or even forearms, biceps and triceps on three days)
2. 15 reps warm up is ok and 8 per set should be about right but def no more than 12. 3 exercises per body part and 3 sets of 8-10 reps.
3. Concentrate on the negative movements and don't just see it as a shortcut to get back to the next rep.
4. Always exercise perfect form, even if it means dropping alot of weight off.
5. Change routine completely every 4-6 weeks.
6. Eat the right stuff and lots of it.
You can track your progress on bodybuilding.com, but try to only measure up once every couple of months, it takes time but you'll get there in
the end.

You need to be looking at 4 sets of 8 reps max for main body parts and 3 sets of 8 reps max for smaller body parts.
Do one big body part and one small every session.
Stick to basic compound movements only. Lots of curls won't make your arms grow and sit-ups don't make you loose weight around the middle
- they make it bigger.
Example:
Monday - Chest and Shoulders
Wednesday - Back and biceps
Friday - Legs and triceps
You should never be in the gym for more than an hour and you really need some Cardio on at least two of the days off.
Try and eat clean with plenty of chicken, tuna etc. and evey 3 hours.
Don't get hung up on suplements, that's all they are and you can live without them.
Pat...
P.S. - You only need to chin-ups for back (palms away from you) and squats for legs. Nothing else cuts it and machines don't do the job as well
as free weights.

At 79kg (12.5stone?) I am by no means an expert on body building but Ive learned 2 things.
1st, squats will add muscle everywhere. Lots of people I know have hit a point where their upper body isn't getting bigger. When they start
doing squats they start to add more mass to their legs and upper body.
and 2nd, for protein a cheap/easy way is to buy skim milk powder and add it to regular milk. No fat, cheap, and much better tasting than most other
shakes. Apparantly that, and whey protein is what most protein mixes are made of anyhow.
As I said, Im not a big guy but I look pretty good with my clothes off. Girls like abs
Cheers.

You could write a book as an answer !
I had to give up years ago due to injury, so this advice may be 15 years old, but, I would suspect overtraining / incorrect diet unless you're
getting some 'assistance'.
Compound exercises with free weights, forget isolation and machines.

Got the 'Blood and Guts' book myself, good info, not seen the DVD though.

What you need is anabolic steriods - lots of them.
Get a trip out to the olympics, try to arrange for a container load ;^)

Steroids - make your balls small and your bones weak... saw a guy bench pressing when his humerous (upper arm bone) just collapsed under the weight
and became about half the length (ouch!) and he had been using a load of steroids....
Supplements will only make a difference if you are not eating right, or if you are exercising right at the extremes of physiology where you
can't physically eat enough. The powdered milk in normal milk is a good one we use with people who need to build muscle mass for medical
reasons.
