Hello again

Here I am with anoter post to my blog.
Well my gym life is going quite well but I'm not satisfied with the gains I'm making. Neither in power or in size. I think I'm stuck a bit. I guess PHAT is not exactly working for me or I'm doing it wrong. I don't think I am though

I've got 5/7 workout regime. 2 power day, 3 hypertrophy days.
So it's like:
- Monday: pause/cardio
- Tuesday: upper body power
- Wednesdey: lower body power
- Thursday: pause/cardio
- Friday: Back&Chest hypertrophy
- Saturday: lower body hypertrophy
- Sunday: arms&shoulders hypertrophy

I think I eat enough food it's the resting periods that might be causing me problems. I guess this problem is solved since I got fired at work :/ and have enough time to rest.

So.. typical week looks like this (gymwise):
(note:I do switch exercises from time to time and vary the order in which I do them)
Monday: pause/cardio
