I want to get bigger and bigger and bigger, but with trying to get bigger comes chub. So, I am fighting that battle of trying not to get chubby but to get stronger and lean muscle mass, while trying to stay semi-trim. It sucks.
I wouldn't mind being as big as this guy...his name is Chuck Carswell...former NCAA football player now big time crossfitter/HQ trainer dude. He's huge.
I read from some website when I was prepping for BUDS that a good strength indicator was being able to bench your body weight 20 times in one set. That was easy at 135 so today I had to try 145. I didn't have a spotter, but I tried anyway.
I ended up doing 3x20 at 145! It felt awesome. So, that is a great indicator that I am gaining pretty decent weight because my strength is increasing with my weight.
