Age: 17 Height: 6'1" Weight: 128lbs Weight goals: Get up to around 140lbs by the end of summer. Training goals: Be able to run a 6 minute mile without collapsing afterwards xD Nutrition goals: Mainly just eat more on a more regular basis, I don't eat unhealthy food, I just don't eat enough. Misc. goals: Get back on my longboard more often, and find the motivation/courage to ask out this really cute girl I like. | ||

So , is it possible that muscles can be weaker due to a prior workout even though no soreness is there? heh , my phrasing really sucks but hope you guys can understand what I'm trying to ask That's perfectly natural mate, unless you're extremely conditioned or a genetic freak like decaf. | ||

I'm convinced my lats are much weaker than my quads and lower back. My dl has basically barely moved in the course of a year, despite my squat jumping around 15% and my cleans about 30%. More overhead work. My lats have literally inflated since i started snatching and jerking.

Unless you're a genetic anomaly 10-15 pounds is more realistic and not all of it would be lean mass. But it certainly is possible if you dial everything in (sleep, diet, training program, etc.) if you haven't before. Drowsy: Might need to sit back more for the RDLs.... Lat soreness can also mean they're a weak link and you haven't been using them all that much compared to other muscle groups which is why they're going to catch up now Havent really done my best at recovery since last year...I'm gonna milk every god damn ounce out of this summer i can and we'll see how far my genetics, hard work, how much food i can buy can go :D. I'd take 10-15 pounds...but basically even though i'll basically be doing a lot of anti bulking work if i eat enough i'll still bulk? I feel like i wont be able to do this "clean" Bringing back peanut butter and other shit in a big way. I wanna run into people weighing 220+ as opposed to 205. Sounds like a lot more fun. That and i feel like bumping my total up to 285 in the 105 class will be way easier than 283 in the 94 class. Trying to hit the national meet next year ez so i can hang out with dimsum :D | ||

However , what really matters is your strength gain , which correlates to your weight gain as well. Then again , I'm 10 cm shorter than you T_T. so my numbers may be abit off . but same idea should apply | ||

 speaking of spotting: today, someone spotted with one hand at my gym... those two guys were idiots anyway, they did like 5 million chest exercises and then proceeded to do biceps curls for half an hour. | ||
