[Trystin.F]

Whats up everyone. I am having trouble putting on mass and getting my max lifts up and I was looking for training programs and/or specific lifts to help get passed this hump. Anyone got any advice?

What do you currently do for training and eating?

How does pre exhaustion work?

 

[Trystin.F]

I eat 4-5 meals a day with as little fat as i can and as much protein. I workout 6 days a week for 3+ hours sometimes doing two-a-days so my off day varies.

 

[Tylerclee]

Isolation exercises before compound lifts( example is dumbbell flyes before bench press) getting a certain muscle exhausted, then using compound lifts where other muscles jump in to help

Why are you avoiding fats? Fats are delicious and good for you.

also, mike mentzer would reverse it and do heavy iso before compound. I do it all the time for chest workouts. So heavy flys then high rep barbell press. I'm absolutely torched every time.

Eating fats does not equate to gaining fat. How do you know you're 6.7%. That's pretty low...

Eggs and avocados are a staple of mine. A lot of people here eat PB like candy. MCT oil, olive oil, coconut oil. Nuts, milk, etc.

Eating fats does not equate to gaining fat. How do you know you're 6.7%. That's incredibly low...

I was thinking the same thing, that's shredded and striated. Fats are only "good for mass" because they're calorically dense, other benefits too but that's the main reason. Also help with joints and test/hormone production. Trystin.F if you're trying to bulk up, you might have to let go of that 6.7% body fat.

 

[Trystin.F]

Will this help get my max lifts up? Ive been stuck around 215-225 for the passed 3 months now.

 

[Tylerclee]

If you are REALLY 6.7% then I'd suggest taking it very slow on adding calories, because that can easily be wrecked and hard to get back to. Add something like an extra banana with 2 tbsp natural peanut butter

 

[Trystin.F]

So basically eat more and give up the low bf%?

 

[Tylerclee]

You aren't going to build 5 pounds of muscle per month without gaining atleast 3 lbs of fat. Take it slow!

Lol you can't bulk up till you change that if you want to put on mass your going to need to be between 10-15%

 

[dvw]

Eat every 3 hours your awake. Eat a lot of natural peanut butter !

 

[alexb13]

Avocados are great too

If you want to increase your strength than you need to have a good diet in place to give you the energy to lift heavy and then the protein for good recovery. I have used a couple good programs to build strength. Power Bodybuilding by Mike O'Hearn and Sheiko. You should be able to google these for the workout plans.

 

[unreal89]

Carb load and get to about 12%bf then you can pack on some mass

Forget the bf for a bit. Eat like an animal, pack on some pounds, and you're strength will go up.
