    How?? I bench once a week, so that would be 3 or 4 times left this month, meaning I'll have to put on like 2.5 kg each time?? I hardly put on 1 kg :/

    it's not a program it's called food and training with heavy weights and lower reps

    if your lifts are not going up, you need to eat more, usually it is that simple

    absolutely. if you do a variety or chest and tri workouts, you'll deffinately see results. key word there, variety. if you keep doing the same routine you're more likely to hit a plateau. just keep working hard and eat like crazy

    ya I'm doing the BFS work outs for football.. the cool things about this is that every week its diff.. it goes from heavy lifts with like 3 reps each to a week thats like.. 8 reps 8reps 5.. or something like that with not so heavy weight ( talking about core lifts here) to a week like... 10 6 3.. with a variety of weight. I was just worried I wouldn't get mass with this alternating.. even if im eating around 3000-4000 calories.
