Haha I would love to see you start lifting heavy and make all kindz of gainzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant "intensity" specifically in pushing my heart-rate throughout and exhaustion levels after; I'm aware I used it wrong because they're generic weight-lifting terms like you defined.

Strength training in itself doesn't make you big, but it makes you strong enough to lift enough weight to make gainz within the bodybuilding rep range. Weighted pull-ups should be getting you some pretty hectic lat gainz ay?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have gone slightly heavier but eh I'll crank it up next week by another 10kg and see how that goes. Also my shoulder was sore going into it on Monday, I couldn't get much weight on the bench without pain, so had to back right off. Will probably have another easy bench day on Friday and should be good to go for next week. I'm excited to see how my squats go on Friday, I only have to work up to a heavy 3, then back off to a medium 8, the heavy 3 is the exciting part...for me anyway lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
