A little help with strength guys..Please

[BigRugbyMan]

dont call me stupid just because you dont have the balls to go on year round... And if you are gonna call me stupid then tell me why i am... I dont see any stupidity as long as i am going to the doc for checkups, and all my tests are coming back fine.


Ah forget it anyway... I knew i was gonna start getting BS answers here... Im better off posting at Anabolicfitness where people actually answer questions... Instead of giving you a stuupididty speach... Not much you can do when youve already been on for 5 months

Why are you only considering different gear methods??

Various training methods will increase your strength. Heavy weight
while keeping reps from 1-5, 90-95% of 1RM will do the trick. Do a search for Ken
Shamrock's old workout, (I think it's in his book) he uses this method

Combine this w/ gear and you will get results.
Good luck

I really think strength is largely dependent on gentics...now don't get me wrong...juice will help ya alot....but if u are weak...u are weak....some guys really never pound big numbers....I am smaller and taller than a lot of guys but have some good strength...but I would rather be bigger to tell ya the truth!

Ken Shamrock

Iwillbe-
Just curious if in Ken Shamrock's book did it say how much he was lifting on any of his exercises?

 

[Bar Room Hero]

Being on that much test and being that weak does suck. You take too much juice and probably don't focus on seriously getting stronger in terms of explosive movements. If that's what you're after, visit the Powerlifting Board and ask for suggestions. A lot of the guys on this board are into controlled, bodybuilding-type excercises. Nothing wrong with that, they're just two different philosophies.

gear isn't the answer here. As bar room said, you need to switch up your routine.

 

[BigRugbyMan]

oh yeah i forgot to give you my routine...

I switch it up every 6-8 weeks... Usually when i hit alot of gear...

for instance i am currently doing this for chest/tris
Bench 2x warmups---3 heavy sets of 6
incline flyes 3 sets x 6
cable crossover 3 x 6
weighted dips 2 plates to failure
skull cushers 3 x 6
incline straight tricep press 3 x 6

other routines have been:
flat bench/incline press/cable crossover 4-6-8
weighted dips to failure
closegrip bench 4-6-8
tricep pushdown 4-6-8

or

4-6-8 rep scheme with the same exeercises or db presses

I guess i'll look for a new routine to start... But all those yielded the same strength gains


I just want to say that i don't solely rely on gear for my gains... I train my ass off, get my rest, and stick to my diet... I hold those before anything else

 

[BigRugbyMan]

anyone have a link to ken shamrock... or any good new routines?

i got stuck in a rut on my bench so instead of warming up at 135 i went right to 225 for my warm ups doing dead stops (go to training board for proper bench technique). try this 225x10 275x5 315x3 335x1 355x1. also start shrugging as mush weight as you can pick up to strenghten your shoulders, they have more to do with bench work then most people understand. and close grip bench to help the tri build up the explosive power needed for heavy lifts. as far as your other lifts they look as if your soley training for shape and not strength, the power lifting board is a better place for you to find the answers your looking for.
