Weights going up...does this mean growth???

[Beernutz]

I wasnt sure where to post this. But since im post whore in this forum ill put it here..lol...Anyways i just started bulking after cutting for a little under 2 months and i notice my strength is increasing with every workout. Like say i squat 250 for 8 reps one week the next week id be doing 255 for 9 reps. Does this garauntee growth? Ive heard alot of opinions on this topic but i wanna know what you bros think.

[damiongage]

nope.....it means you have gained strength....you ussally gain strength when you get bigger, but this is not a gaurentee....take measurements to measure growth

Or you could just be having a "good" day. I know I have those sometimes, just as I have crappy days. The key is to not get obsessed over either one event, but keep track of the workouts and if the same holds true over time over each workout. That is a more accurate indicator.

ya i always keep a log. I actually have a little note book that i record the first set of every exercise i do. I record the weights used how many reps and how good the form was. Ive noticed steady improvements since i started adding kcals slowly.

[SwoleCat]

Then I'd say you're on to something good.

For my body, it seems like I will gain strength like crazy but not grow for a while. Then I will notice size increase but my strength gains slow down considerably. Weird.

ya spoon that was taken after my cutting cycle. My stats are 188lbs 6'2" and im not to sure of bf id say around 10. I look ripped in my avatar because my shoulders and upper chest always stay ripped on my body for some reason but my lower back alwys holds a little fat.

i hope this strength gain arent just good days. Only time will tell but so far ive been consistantly adding weights for the past 3 weeks.
