Question: strength training?


Question Description:
whats the best way to do this?...i want to strength train and become stronger quick...i have a work out bench and weights and curling bars. i do not want to buy any dietary supplements...normal diets routines etc. i am currently eating whatever i am hungry for and sometimes whatever i can find with alot of protein in it...i bench weights until i can bench them 15 times then i move up to a heavier weight.i work out every other day and sometimes everyday...how can i get stronger faster?and i do mean strength training not muscle building...

Answer#1: Without steroids you can't.The weight you are working with should be within 80% of your maximum lift. ie if you can push 100lbs, workout with 80lbs @10-12 reps. When reps become too easy, increase weight. Drink lots of water so your muscles can rebuild overnight. Do not work the same muscles everyday. This will cause you to digress. Do not try to overwork or push what your body can do. You risk injury when working overtired muscles. Working out like this will give you a solid progressive build


Answer#2: By doing heavier weights. If you can do more than 7 or 8 reps before muscle failure, the weight is too light.If there's any way you can work squats into your routine, it helps to get the body in growth mode by breaking down the largest muscle groups.
