As a muscle building addict you need to increase your protein intake with significant amounts than you take up in a normal active life. As soon as you substantially increase your protein consumption, your muscles size will increase gradually. In fact, if you are a hard gainer then this may be your root problem. As per modern standards you need at least two grams of protein per pound of your body weight. A 150 pound individual, for example, needs at least 300 grams of protein a day, to increase muscle size, but most bodybuilders don’t even take fifty percent of this requirement.
Lastly, your training program should emphasize more on use of free weights over machines. And always be sure that you have warmed up adequately before you start lifting weights for muscle building.
