In a perfect world we would all get stronger every workout and be able to lift super heavy all the time wo pain/injuries but that's not the reality.
that's very true, but if you aren't getting stronger ie. increasing your training loads, they you ain't getting bigger
i'm just hoping that once i get to the point where i can get 6-8 reps with 145 pound bell that my lats and delts will be big enough
another thing i don't quite get is how dudes can train year in and year out and stay and look exactly the same (ie. maintaining) coz in my opinion the fun of training is making progress
not that it is bad to maintain oneself, and i have alot of respect for fellas who do this, but in my own personal case it just gets boring as fuck not making any gains and just maintaining, and i'm really kinda dreading this day once my progress comes to a halt as i got a feeling that i'll just say "fuck it! this is dull not making any progress" and just stop training
in fact, AJ was the exact same, as he'd train and make great gains but then once he hit a wall and wasn't gaining anymore then he'd just give up in disgust and stop training entirely
