Oh woops. You said "Strength", I mistakingly read that as "MASS" Ignore my previous comment lol. Anyway. Tone and Mass are two completly different things. Does anywone know how to build pure muscle mass without having to refrain to steriods lol

Originally posted by GelatinPufF True. But as soon as I started working out I thought that was bullshit. Evertime I worked out, my main goal was to get my muscle group EXTREMELY pumped, and of course, work it to absolout failure *I can't emphasise those two points enough.* It's something you just feel I guess. Whenever I worked with heavy weights and low repititions, I wasn't getting that *pumped* feeling, and injured my forearms/tendons with routines incorporating tremendous weights//low reps ie. A 55kg barbell bicep curl with: 3 reps/4 sets. OR 105kg benchpress with 3 reps/4 sets. I built muscle much quicker with a quick high rep workout(to get the muscle group tired) IE. for one bicep: 30-40 reps @ 10kg taken VERY SLOWLY so you can feel your muscle being pumped, and then just repeat it with the same weight. As you do more sets your reps will come down because your muscles get fucking SORE. Anyway, my stats are 6"0, 200pounds.

You should only do tremendous weights and low reps at most once a week. Probably once every other week to be safe. The rest should be filled with regular workouts and even a "light" day occasionaly.

what does it matter if i post stats or not? this is the internet and i could say whatever i want you would only have to guess whether i'm telling the truth or not. you want to know my stats?

5'11"-6'
193 lbs
i don't know body fat, but i'm pretty lean...i've been as heavy as 218 so i've trimmed down.

if you believe me great, if not i don't really care. my only reason for posting in this thread is to help those that might benefit from my knowledge gained over the last 10 years. you shouldn't get all bent out of shape because i recognize the fact that you are in denial about your 7lbs of weight being partially fat. see that 20+ lbs i lost...that's right it was fat. even professional bodybuilders put on fat when they aren't getting ready for competitions. you really shouldn't be so naive. stupid claims like "i put on 7lbs of PURE MUSCLE" is only going to show the rest of us the extent of your knowledge or lack there of.

i just thought of that hehe. Percentage is a ratio to the whole. So if you stay at the same body fat% as you gain weight, you HAVE to be gaining fat as well.

I think the craziest thing I remembered from the Modern Bodybuilders... was that they gained 50lbs of pure fat in the off season. Schwarz went from 240 to 290!

can you imagine gaining and losing that for x years?!



I think it was Vivid, but ive started doing those decline bench situps where you hold and then go back up...

did it for two days. Im on my second day of rest. I think I tore something, lol. ouch, hurts to laugh. but they are awesome. I cant wait to get back on it.

My lunges continue, and I think that in 2 workout or so my form and tendons will be sufficient to up the weight another 20lbs or so. Those, too, I am excited about.

Right now im just pised about bench though. I dont work out at the same time every day due to certain factors, and I rarely see the same people in the Gym. I get sooo sick of asking for spots when im doing two sets of 6 sets of bench over the course of the work out. But it reduces the effectiveness harshly. Plus I cant do DB bench because of my shoulder...

I mean, nothing really to be done but ask anyways, but its still annoying. I wish there was a trick for decline bench like there is for flat when you cant lift the barbell anymore (FFs stomach then sit up routine hehe)
