How to increase muscle size
I just turned 27 and I’ve been working out for years. I’ve been trying lately to take more days off and have been more willing to rest. In fact your split of 3 on, 1 off/3 on, 2 off has been so helpful. I am very strong, but the size just won’t come. Any suggestions on how I can increase the muscle volume?
My legs are big, but somewhat undefined. Should I maybe stop training them for a while and just focus on the upper?
No… Robust deadlifts and squats are systemic exercises stimulating whole-body growth.
Your training sounds right on. A four-day-a-week routine can be tried for a month with a variation on reps (4 or 5 sets x 12, 10, 8, 6 reps).
Change-ups are good once you’ve achieved your training level… instincts really kick in if we let them.
Throw in another balanced meal daily; bring on the red meat daily; try Bomber Blend.
You’re young: Lift hard, eat right, rest a lot, think smart (commonsense and intuition), be confident and persist, apply the basics, dismiss the hype, laugh when you get the chance and be good.
Go… Dave
