desparity between size and strength

[pwr_machine]

The lifts that you mentioned are not very strong, they are strong for your size though. Try to keep increasing the strength more and maybe you will gain muscle as well

Blowdpanis, your lifts sound fine to me. You're well on your way to bigger numbers and with that comes more muscle. It can be a long painstaking process when you're "clean", but the muscle will come if that's your goal.

Thank you

You're welcome.



Blowd, hows your diet?

Blowd, hows your diet?

Diet is definately a very important aspect.

He has been training for 5 years. How long is "long process" until he starts seeing improvements? That's what many people say, "Just keep doing it and something will happen in the future". It is just an excuse to dismiss the problem, to sweep it under the carpet. Those are very strong lifts, but I want to find out how he does on other exercises that do not involve own bodyweight.

He just said "i haven't really eaten like a bodybuilder". Diet like was suggested in an earlier post would probably be the solution.

And, how much do you squat, benchpress, military press, row or any other big lifts? Who cares?

The guy knows he needs help with diet. With that, it's still a long process to build your body.

I care. What business is it of yours to interfere? If his core lifts are on the low side, OR they have not increased lately, then that COULD explain why he has not grown as he was suppose to. Diet is just a part of equation, training is important too.

Ok, you're the guru. Note that the post asked "how many 'not so big' guys that are out there that can put up some impressive numbers".

Best of luck to you Blowdpanis. Eat smart, train smart, and be patient. You'll reach those goals if you stay consistent.

I am no guru, you obviously have more practical and theoretical experience than me. I am not challenging any of your statements or your knowledge. I want to learn from this just as much as you do.

To ask what his core lifts are is a valid question. When you weigh 160 pounds bodyweight plus exercises are kind of deceiving, all rev was saying is that he may not be as strong relatively as he thinks. If your benching double bodyweight, squatting triple and pulling 2.5 then yes you are very strong for your size.

yap that is what I meant by asking him for his lifts.
