Are you off season at the moment?
I have not been training regularly for about a year I have some injuries that are healing beyond my knee op. My training was although I did/ do a lot of weights geared toward my Rugby which is my love. 10 % at 18 stone almost is awesome, when I was playing I tried to keep it around that, below that and you bruise to easily. Check out the size of my bicep where you can see it in that pic its cut at over 18 inches.
Weights for weights sake imo mean less than weights for sport.

Jade you've hit addict level man I used to do 2 hours a day I get better results out of 1 hour four times a week much better recovery - in regards to meals prepare the night before, eat in Lectures. Trust me I lecture and I manage it.
unfortunately most of my uni time is laboratory work...eating being strictly forbidden
as for recovery time...its something i've never really had problems with. while weight training i would eat protein within an hour of finishing my programme which aids recovery quite well and i've never been overly fatigued after cardio anyway (i tend to burn 600 calories between rowing, tread and bike) as well as 5 seperate 3 minute sets on the punch bag
as for the addict thing...your probably right
😆
still...its better than being addicted to certain other things

Good stuff mate
I did two years working in Path at a hospital in the Midlands - My areas of expertise now are enzymes, some aspencts of recombinant techniques and some uses of performance enhancers although the last is more of a personal interest.

muscle size doesn't equate to muscle strength...at the gym i go to there are lots of guys with far bigger muscles than me with far better definition (although i carry alot of body fat compared to them) but i lift far in excess of what most of them doone of the main reasons are many of them are on steroids which build muscle size but dont increase density and so strength isn't proportional
personally i'd rather have the strength than the appearance of strength
none of the winners of the world's strongest man contests are ripped... they all carry a visible percentage of fat
Most of the time

Marius was the exception to the rule, but he was stripped of his title for using gear 😕 😂 as if the others don't

If you use heavy weights and fewer reps, 3 or 4 you gain muscle.
If you use less weight and more reps, not more than 12 then you gains strength.
if you do loads of reps with less weight you get stamina.
Kinda true but a better way to use is an acronym called T.U.T.
Time
Under
Tension
this is a much better way to challange muscles then traditional reps for routines
Most power lifters do very few reps with maximal weight to gain max strength in minimum time........
