hey once again
could u hook me up with a good strength routine? (DON'T want to get big)
i saw the 5x5 routine u've been posting but it requires bulking.. i don't wanna bulk
just want to get stronger.. and some day maybe a fitness model :))
also maybe this kinda things require some specific diet i dunno tell me what do you think
Hey there. It doesn't work like that unfortunately.
If you want to really get stronger, you need to add more mass and thus go on a "bulking" cycle.
From there, you would go on a CUTTING CYCLE and remove most of the fat you gained while bulking and get down to a very low bodyfat percentage.
At this point you will be ripped and more muscular. You will repeat the process until you are as big/muscular as you want (when ripped) and then proceed with a follow up maintenance routine (which will not allow you to gain more strength, just maintain what you have).
But in order to get where you want to be (without steroids) you need to bulk and cut over and over until you hit the perfect size you are shooting for. On average, male fitness models require approximately 5 years of bulk and cut before they can go on constant maintenance.
