How Do You Get Strong????????

[BIGGYSMALLZ]

Can I get your guys ideas!!


Should I keep the reps low and use a ridiculous amount of weight or what!!How many sets for each exercise?

 

[maxellyz]

i always do 3 sets at least and try to go for 8-10 reps works great for me

 

[Cackerot69]

Generally, low reps, more sets, frequent variation (between workouts), and few exerises per bodypart.

lol@weapon. here is the way i see it:

1. train hard
2. eat the right combonation of macronutrients
3 rest.
4. optional-supplements like creatine and whey protein.

that's just my humble opinion.

Low reps, Compuond movements, multiple sets, Take as much rest as necessary between sets, proper mindset.

Good Luck

To get strong I just eat a clean diet (high sugar, high fat, low protein) and use core bodybuilding exercises (like sex, eating, sleeping, etc.)

Stick to McDonalds and Ice Cream along with some Twix and Oreo Madness from TGI Friday's and youll be on your way getting MASSIVE!!!

Try negatives at the end of your sets.

To gain strength you have to train diferently than when training for mass. when training for strength, use the rep range of 3-4 for the big three(bench, squat, deads) and 6 for supporting movements that help those others out.


a good routine would be:



day 1- bench 5 sets of 3-4 reps
dips(weighted if u can do more reps) 5 sets of 6-8
military or push press 6 reps


day 3- squats 5 sets of 3-4 full reps(deep ass squats)
leg press 5 sets of 6
leg curls 5 sets of 6-8 reps


day 5: deadlifts 5 sets of 3-4 reps
chins(weighted if u can do more reps) 5 sets of 8
d/b shrugs 5 sets of 6-8 reps(heavy on these!)
barbell curls 3-4 sets of 5-6 reps

Try not to concentrate too much on form, just try to get those weights up and down, i find faster reps with very heavy weigths increase my strength, but saying that, dont lift with your ego, you will get hurt.
This routine worked wonders for me, and i only did it for 4 weeks, so get on it!

o yeah, and rest 3-5 mins between sets on the bigger, harder lifts!!!

good luck lil' dude!
