How much bigger? And more precisely, how much more lean muscle tissue did you gain?

I read before about a guy who benched witha telephone directory on his chest, Maybe with 30lbs heavier than he could handle. Every week or so ripped out a few pages and done lots of sets. Eventually It will be on your chest.

Nice story but better ways IMO

His style of training maintains and conditions muscles, it doesn't make the bigger, unless he "contracts and squezzes" his muscles wit GREATER AND GREATER TRAINING LOADS ::) ::) ::)

bob peoples and paul anderson used this technique to achieve massive poundages in their lifts many many years ago.
175lbs by 31st July
