Better question: Why am I not getting any stronger?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 23rd, 2013 4:01 PM Author: orchid sex offender athletic conference I don't understand why I don't get stronger. I eat like 150 grams of protein a day on average. Am 6'4" 200 lbs.
But I'm weak as shit for my size compared to people on this board. I lift 3 days a week, 1st day chest and arms, 2nd day, back and shoulders and 3rd day legs. Probably have been doing this for 3-4 months consistently and literally am no stronger than when I started.

Date: May 23rd, 2013 4:15 PM Author: razzle submissive gaping keep moving the weight up, i don't do this because im stupid and lazy and it takes me forever to make gains. But, basically every week or two weeks add at least 5 pounds (on each side of bar) to your last set from where you were the previous week and if that means you can only get 3/5 on last set, so be it.

Date: May 23rd, 2013 4:16 PM Author: orchid sex offender athletic conference ok. now this seems credited. basically just increase the weight weekly, and if I can't do all the reps, nbd....but i'll get stronger in the process.

|
Date: May 23rd, 2013 4:19 PM Author: razzle submissive gaping basically, i mean I'd still make sure you're getting a good work out. like if you realize you can only do 1 rep moving the weight up, go back and do another set at the weight you were doing and then attempt to get 3-4 the next week with the additional weight.
you will get used to lifting the additional weight, it will also make the lower weight you did the previous week seem much easier. |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2013 4:26 PM Author: Saffron vibrant ape Cr. Increase 5lbs every workout (or every week) until you get pwned one day. When you get pwned, drop 30lbs and work your way back up until you get pwned again. Lather, rinse, repeat. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2264006&forum_id=2#23256348) |

|
Date: May 23rd, 2013 4:35 PM Author: razzle submissive gaping just consciously force yourself to add 5 lbs each week and you will get stronger. I don't think the dropping 30 lbs thing is *necessary*, but see what works best for you. just make sure you're increasing the weight every week-2 weeks.

Date: May 23rd, 2013 4:36 PM Author: Saffron vibrant ape okay maybe not 30 lbs but i think it's advisable to drop some weight once you start getting pwned and work you're way back up (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2264006&forum_id=2#23256438) |
