broseph your a perfect example of why lifting heavy is necessary.. durign all your years of training and during all your cycles you never built any size, all you ever did was shape your body. sure, the general public would look at a picture of you on one of your cycles and think "bodybuilder" because you had alot of muscle definiton everywhere, but in the world of bodybuilders you never had any size and that is what bodybuilding is about-size. big weights are a prerequisite to size
You are correct.. I do not train for *size*.. and in bodybuilding land.. I am nothing compared to a roid freak.
I only ever did 1 real *cycle* of steroids, as I’ve stated on this board a zillion times - it simply lasted a couple of years
- cycling - for the birds. Just stay on.
Otherwise I run an HRT dose of test from time to time.. or dabble with a low dose oral (like 10-20mg a day) <--- you want to call that a cycle, be my guest.
Still, without the juice, and without lifting heavy at all - I continue to fill out my frame adding to my chest, shoulders, back and especially legs (they filled out nicely after I started training light).. I’ve got more pop on my tri’s now than ever.
So, lifting light weights.. and not even that often - why do I keep adding muscle? You may say I never built any size.. but I call adding muscle to my body exactly that - *building size*, and its still happening (admittedly I’m not a *bodybuilder*)
How do I keep gaining muscle without lifting heavy weights?
If I added a bunch of juice to my current workout *methods*.. I would look like a bodybuilder.. pretty sure. At 5'10 and 220.. I dont want anymore size.
By the way.. The *size game* is what
ruined bodybuilding.
Hope this helps.
