Finally gaining

[tkdnj]

It takes me forever to add weight on certain lifts, mainly bench. My legs have grown substantially in the past few months though (added 2” to my quads) just from heavy leg presses and high rep extensions, RDL’s and leg curls. I finish off quad day with short stride lunges and on ham day I finish off with long stride lunges. I hit calves on both leg days. I have never had any other muscle group on my body grow this fast. I put just as much effort into every lift same as with legs but nothing else responds this way. Pic on left is the before.

Interesting.... I actually notice a difference in strength between hitting a body part every four days versus every five days. For example I alternate between 2 routines:

"Push / off / legs / pull / off REPEAT" for me seems to do better regarding strength than
"Push / legs / pull / off REPEAT" (one less off day)

The only reason I sometimes do the 4 day routine is that there is so much research out there now saying frequency is critical for hypertrophy

Figured I would drop an update on my slow bulk. I started about 10 weeks ago now around 183ish. Currently I am sitting at 202 in the morning. Most of my gains seem to have come in the legs and back. I believe I am still lean enough to continue. My cals are currently at 4200-4300.

Back is good; dem quads are scary. Nice work!

Excellent Progress, Well done
