Idk. I just got back from lifting actually so I look back on that post now having consumed protein shake and I have no idea what I was saying. Nice job on that one year transformation. Don't forget leg day. Also, what are your maxes for Bench, squat and clean?

90kg bench, 100kg squat, 50kg clean and jerk. Don't really go for strength, more hypertrophy. I try to increase my weights when I can but as long as I tear the muscle it's all good.

Nice. I go for strength due to it being football (American) season. I got 90 kg Bench, 160 kg Squat, and 100 kg clean.
-
Just out of curiousness, what do you mean by hypertrophy and how is that different from going for strength?
-
Lifting weights to tear muscle and promote repair and growth, not to increase strength. Usually done with a fraction of your max lift (maybe 2/3) and for a high number of reps/sets.
-
If it isn't promoting strength, then what would it do by tearing, repairing, and growing muscle?
-
Get you big and swole. Hypertrophy is for bodybuilding, strength training is for powerlifting.
-
And strength training is going to give you more effective muscle, in many people's opinions.
-
Hypertrophy still builds strength, and I also look great. I see people strong as hell in the gym but they're 20%+ bf and I just lol. Girls don't care how much we can bench.
-
I agree, but girls here in the states also care about how well you play football, and strength is a major factor in being good at the game. It's all about what you want for a return. My body fat percentage is higher than I would like it, but it's all in the lifts and diet I need to get ready for the season. Anyway, all exercise is good exercise as long as you maintain your exertion within your ability.

Yup. I do football, I play lineman. I can't bodybuild or else I would lose the fat that's protecting my muscles. Body building does reduce amount of fat, right?
