@@scottessery100 If you train long enough you will come to the realization that you just have to gain weight if you wanna move the big numbers. There is no way around it. I'm 5'9" so I was a very lean 70! From 2012-2019 I trained for physique bodybuilding and my strength was moderate, it very nearly plateaued for that style of training by about 2017 because I insisted on staying in the exact shape I liked at the time and I'm not brave enough to enhance. I'm still pretty lean since I switched my priorities purely to strength/powerlifting. 70 is honestly really small and 80 isn't exactly big so what I have done so far is not a big ask if you play it smart. It took me about 16 months to go from 70 to 80 my way and now I'm about 82. I guarantee you the more you listen to these guys the more sense this will make.
@@BrandonWilliams-wf6hg mass = your body weight , you have more mass. Also being bigger does things to your mobility like reduces your range of motion so before as a 70kg lifter where your end range on squats may be your butt almost kissing the floor, now “ass to grass” as a 96 may be like 3 inches higher bc you have more meat on your legs and ass. Also if you’re bigger the weight just can’t man handle you as much. So Better leverages and you’re just a beef cake
@@FearWarboar4135 i don't know who you been listening to but it doesn't work like that. Just because you have more mass doesn't mean you can exert more force.
am currently. i was getting stronger at my bodyweight but gaining 8 pounds was so much better. i felt more sturdy, the bottom of a squat was softer and stronger. just more meat. i was lanky and muscular but just not any mass. feel good now!
I really want to get into a steady surplus over the next 5 years or so and finally find out what i'm capable of. I've always noticed that lifters my height always weigh about 10-15KG more than me MINIMUM at a competetive level, but my newbie gains stopped me from really accepting the facts. I dont want to be an intermediate lanklet anymore, I want to be an advanced fridge
I don't know if guys have covered this idea before but I've heard of studies and heard anecdotally from doctors in the field that there is a large amount of data to backup the idea that you can increase strength without increasing bodyweight by skipping the negative portion of the life i.e. deadlifting but dropping the bar at the top of the lift Dr Peter Attia has talked about olympic cycling coaches who used this methodology to esentially allow their athletes to lift heavy everyday and not be too heavy because it apparently prevents the tearing of the actin/myosin binds caused by the negative portion of the lift
@@mikeyfergish Damn you're right! Why do sports scientists and studies even exist if we can all just do this shit ourselves? I'll never ask a question again
I was eating 6-7 meals a day in my late 30s and I gained 10kg. I got a little bit stronger but I also gained a slight pot belly. I had to ask myself, are you going to the Olympics any time soon? No! In 40s now, I'd rather keep my abs and health. If you're in your 20 or early 30s, go for it though. If you're natty and eat a lot, you'll probably just gain a lot of fat.
I like that attitude, that a person can have 2 goals and be ok with progressing both at the cost of both. I'm not trying to go to the olympics, I'm trying to have fun with my training, look good, and be healthy.
@@ashvinpidaparti3942 Yeah depends what you want out of it. The guy mentioned wanted to know how to get stronger whilst keeping his current body weight / composition. So you'd imagine his goals are somewhat mutually exclusive in the long term
What would you say for a rock climber in this scenario? I've heard the forearm compartment can't manage as much hypertrophy as other body parts and performance will suffer if finger strength relative to body mass decreases.
I went from 76 to currently 88kg (fat too obvs) and my squat is progressing nice. My legs are only 26" but I'm struggling to fit into trousers, I need to wear casual smart clothes for work, chinos, trousers, jeans whatever. But I can't fit my legs into any of them. Any tips?
I dont know guys, Cailer Woolam posted something a year or so ago about how he took his deadlift from like 800-900 while only gaining 8lbs bodyweight. For such an advanced lifter to gain so much strength while not getting much bigger says to me that maybe we dont understand the whole picture. It really seems like people who do strength training can continue to gain strength for years at the same bodyweight.
Performance enhancing drugs change the picture totally but as you say he's still gained weight. With PEDs you just don't need to gain as much or sometimes lifters don't gain any weight on the scales but recomp totally.
Hey quick question about ur program so rn I'm squating 162.5kgs so i need the below 180kg squat program if let's say in 7 weeks I'm squating 185 do I need to buy the new squat program or can I keep using the below 180 one
I think the problem people have when "going up a weight class" is most people don't do enough bodybuilding and/or higher reps to make the weight gain be more muscle than fat. I've known people that bulked from 69 to 97+ and then ended up cutting back to 69 and not really being much more muscular than they were, doing mostly lower rep strength work and Olympic lifting. I think a much better approach for most people would be going into a 300-500 calorie lean bulk, with a lot of bodybuilding exercises and high reps when they want to move up weight, and ideally even moderate cardio to keep everything healthier while you're doing it (this requires more time, and also sometimes 4000-5000 calories per day for some people) then later switching to more low rep "strength" work.
If you are under 110kg/240lb you should have a 6 pack. Otherwise you have not filled out your weight class. Dont chase low equality bodyweight to move more weight.
Long story short, it takes a fridge to squat a fridge. It takes a monster to beat a monster

Bulking from 70 to 80 fucking changed everything. Now it’s the long road to 90 and I see a bright future in the glorious lands of Sikastan

Holy shit finally someone pronounces "hypertrophy" correctly 😄
How are people supposed to know I lift unless I’m diced to the socks whilst strutting down the beach?
Carry the gallon of milk
I was thinking I’d find the biggest bloke and power snatch him
@@sikastrength and towel of your shoulder
Shout out to Yu Jie who gave us Lu by forcing him to bulk to 77.
Lol.
With that being said, how would you approach a bulk in weightlifting? More hypertrophy exercises? Do the same and eat more calories?
I love the holidays. It’s when I hit all my PRs
Honest Q, but how do you gain bodyweight and maintain at least flat stomach?
Gain very reasonably.
Or tren.

That would be different because you are pulling your bodyweight around so you want a really good bodyweight-strength ratio
Fuck being 81kg, lads we're heading for 96kg!
Im 20 and was 60kg last year im now 70 kg gonna try stick at this weight currently can squat 110kg for 3 reps once I stagnate ill gain weight

Buy a size up and go to the tailor.

This doesn't have anything to do with the video but I thought I'd ask: does it matter whether I do machine or barbell rows for weightlifting?

high reps do not directly cause more hypertrophy

Gain weight with suspicious messages in Sikistani video lengths
Instructions unclear: went GOMAD
Some of it will be muscle tissue am I right 🤔🤔
You just want everyone to be fat - admit it! ;)
Fats no good 🤣
GOMAD?
