Look, I'm not saying we have to train like powerlifters, but I'd be fooling myself is now as a natty I could just go to the gym and ''pump up'' and make gains, it's not gonna happen, for me to make gains I need to improve my bench, my squat and my deadlift, there's no way around, and yes we can all do this with 10+ reps, no need to do singles, doubles or triples. Gaining weight is important, if you haven't gained any weight in a year chances are you didn't gain any muscle
