high weight, low reps, max out frequently, push yourself to add new weights, and eat a lot

I'm not even lifting heavy and even lowered the weight. Any way to stop this?
are your knees kinda buckling inwards?
Nah not at all. But my legs are weird though. They're kinda pointed slightly outwards at the knee (like < > if I'm facing you). I don't know if that could have something to do with it.

Thank you. the high weight and low rep is what i had been doing but wasnt seeing much results..obviously the weight but not being able to increase over time too much...So i switched it up for a while but i will go back to that and give it some more time.Originally Posted by brettTHEjett

don't waste your time on arm exercises or even isolation exercises for weight gain. focus on compound lifts. pullups, deadlifts, squats, bench press, dips, rows, and military press. they are the most economical for gaining mass.

Just like we like a little meat on out women (it's a subconscious sign of health), they like the same on men. Never really saw the need to go low on the bf unless you need to make a certain weight to compete.

i somewhat agree....somewhat.
but chicks will go nutso over a nice set of abs. No doubt about it.
i think you should really incorporate legs into your workouts too bro.Originally Posted by x1xJIGSAWx1x

I'd say a "hard" (non flabby) stomach. Not necessarily abs. Having a 4 pack or a 6 pack or whatever produces decreasing marginal rates of return.

at least throw in squats and romanian deadlifts...heck, any type of deadlift in there.
If you don't do squats and deadlifts you won't gain muscle.Originally Posted by x1xJIGSAWx1x
Yeah i know, on the days i dont finish up with abs ill do some leg work outs but never squats. I used to do dead lifts but it was a pain making room with that barbell in the gym when its packed
But I will start doing squats twice a week from now on.

no way man. i see what you're saying, but that is way too exaggerated. most women would probably prefer a skinny but in shape zac efron type build to a monster like that. sure they aren't goingover 5% bf but that's a little much imo.
also brett its funny you mention steroids, i have asked girls about that when they have dated guys who have used/are on them and its weird how little they cared......most either shrugged and basically said whatever they didnt care and a couple were like "as long as he looks like that i dont care what hes taking." i dont think girls know a thing about them, just that they get you big, and if they like big dudes they couldnt care less.
