goodluck guy. o'yea - someone told me that if you put about 30lbs of weight over your max... and then get the weight off the bar and go down slow as your can. you can go up a few lbs on the bench.
Example:
i press 375lbs Max.
i put 400lbs on the bar, get my spotter to help me lift it off the bar and he holds it while i take it down SLOW AS I CAN. he helps me push it back up and i go back down SLOW AS I CAN. do about 6 reps. you should up your max.
btw, you're wanting to put on 10lbs of muscle? keep your diet rite and do cardio and stick with your training cycle. you're taking creatine so you should put on some weight. and if you're doing cardio and eating rite and gaining weight, you're gaining muscle.
Goodluck & keep us posted.

good luck man but try to avoid fast food as mush as u can bulking diet is like cutting diet with more carbs and more calorie keep it clean
-

-
2 weeks in...still 176 lbs...noticable increase in strength in back exercises today. on cable back rows i was able to successfully complete higher weight than normal. things looking good so far

if you're tring to gain wait, keep your fats & carbs high. you will gain weight for sure. just combine them 3 - 4 times a week though. that way it won't turn to stored fat. mite wanna do at least 1mile of cardio during the days you combine the carbs & fats.
if you don't want to do that... go buy some Ensure and drink it after work out. 50g of Carbs and 380 calories. help you gain some weight.

ya see.....ive got nooo problem putting weight on. i can turn into a plump oompa loompa in a week if i wanted. i basically can eat all day...and sometimes i do.
