Real way to get big and strong?

[Djcallejas]

Im 20 years old and i've been working out this summer. Im about 6 feet tall and lean naturally.

I have started going to the gym and doing Olympic lifting but I sometimes feel that the OL isnt enough. I dont feel satisfied or that i even worked out hard enough. Also i am eating right, healthy foods, nothin junk, lots of protien, you name it.

A friend told me that i need to lift heavy weights, (Well thats Obvious) But what does he mean. How would i know what to do? What kind of exercises? How much? or how many sets?

Does anyone know proper set exercises to get big?

id recommnend getting a copy of "Starting strength" there are lots of ways to get big and strong and that book/program will give you a good step by step template to follow.

you gotta do all the big oly lifts but supplement them with smaller lifts. like on a back/bi day i'd do deads, pull ups, bent over db rows, maybe some face pulls, and end it with a few sets of biceps

diet is gonna get you big bro.... lifting isn't even half the battle; once you fix your diet, that's when you'll start seeing gains. get on a program with the compound lifts like Rippetoes 3x5 (check itt out).... compound lifts work multiple muscles at once... for example, the deadlift works your hamstrings, quads, abs, traps, lower/upper back, and even more muscles. Compare that to a bicep curl which only works your biceps.... not saying bicep curls are useless; they do have their place. However, since you're just beginning, focus on the core compound lifts and eat well and you will be well on your way.
