Im an Ectomorph who's persistant and dedicated to get to where I would like to be. I eat to the point where I hate food, but i still do it. I go to the bathroom more than your average person. I take vitamins, eat correctly, have lots of rest, watch videos for inspiration and education, take my weight gainers and BCAA's. I've done it all and not once have I ever been remotely close to saying i give up. Im a whopping 170 pounds, lean i believe. Do i wish i weighed more? Yes. Will i? Yes. But i have hit a wall. Years of training I was told on various forums and by numerous trainers that i have to eat and LIFT HEAVY 4,5,6-8 reps only. The picture you see attached is me doing so. Hell, I recently watched a Video on the godly Kai Greene and he said something that has been eating my mind. "Im not concerned with how much I lift. Im concerned with contracting my muscles against greater and greater amounts of resistance...by doing that, i'm able to stimulate hypertrophy which allows my muscles to grow. I like to be able to make my muscles contract efficiently. STRETCH AND CONTRACT" . He does sets with up to 20 reps. So i heard that and i had the most idiotic, confused, dumbfounded face. The first thing i thought, its Kai Greene but he wasnt talking about himself, he was talking about good form and more reps (contractions) equals to a greater physique versus heavy weight lifting. Now I tried some of his workouts , 12-15 and even 20 reps (correctly) and definitely i feel the burn and its more satisfying than lifting heavy 4-8 times. But what IS right? What I want is to be a Physique Competitor/Fitness model? Thanks for the time, and let me know.
