    I guess there's a bigger difference in the look vs strength That's sustainable than I realized. Hmm, I guess more research is required. And like I said Thanks guys for the help. Anyone who wants to can add me and give advice and If I find something that works well I'll share. Happy lifting.

    Watch some of Elliot Hulse's workouts on Youtube. He's a strong boy.

    Just don't listen to his philosophical mumbo jumbo

    I dunno, I remember once he said something like, "Lift it like you still have your balls."

    I think that's a good philosophy for a guy. lol.

    Sometimes just changing the way you do it breaks the plateau

    Sometimes I wonder, how much of plateau is due to intensity and dedication or lack thereof?

    That feel when no micro plates to find out. Either way half the fun is building it back up. Gotta keep greasing the groove at 80-90%. Weekly or biweekly PRs on OHP are better than none at all in my book.

    LOL, yeah. That's how I am with my bench, only gotten it to 245... and I think to myself, if I were training harder, could I tick that up to 255?

    A routine that builds in periodisation will help you build strength and size I.e over a four week period week one low reps high weight 4-6 reps, week two drop the weight 6-8 reps, week 3 drop the weights 8-10 reps and week four lightest week 10-12 reps, then the next month start again but slightly increase the weight.....there are many variations of this best using Google to find one that suits your goals
