Default strength increase!!!

I've been back into my training now for 3 weeks and been taking my whey shakes religously and I've just had a mega workout

Just done my monday routine - Chest, Triceps & Calves.

In 3 weeks back into it and i've DOUBLED the weight that I started with, fook me, I'm so surprised with the strength increase!!!

I'm not lifting HUGE weight but I'm benching very comfortably and my form is getting better.

I can see me reaching my goal very quickly at this rate

Congratulations Mate, incredible how weak we were before training isnt it? I was, and still am, shocked at how fast you improve

Ive reached a bit of a plateau at the moment, Im benching 75kg and curling about 40kg but cant increase much. I think Im going to have to start sorting my diet out. Its infuriating though cos the lads I used to train with all started taking steroids and are monsters now! I feel like the runt of the pack!

The closest Ive come to increasing lately is doing 25kg hammer curls (up from 22.5kg.).

Im feeling a bit of a rest too, but I need to get my sixpack sorted for holiday! Ive got to offset the fact that Im dangerously white by having a good body!

After that little rant, I managed to add another 10kg on to my benchpress.


Just for the record, what can everyone press?

building a powerfull looking body takes years not days or weeks or even months but years and even when you reach your goal you will have a new one.so keep it up and be dertermined and stick with it.as your wieght moves up you need more caories to keep getting bigger so if your body wieght sticks its for only one reason your not eating enough.you might think you do but just sit down and work it out. i can bench 180kg incline bench for 4 to 6 reps and my best is 200kg for 4 cheers
