Strenght not looks...

[BiteTheDust]

Hello all.

I am new to this weight lifting and am hoping for alot of help from you seasoned pros.

I am looking not soo much for really defined muscles or anythign, but juts to be big and have lotsa strength.

I am wondering a few things.

How do you do a dead lift?

What are other good work outs and techniques for pure animal strenght.

I wanna be a monster.

Soo if you could help please do.

Deadlifts, Squats, Power Cleans, T-Bar Rows, Benches, Seated Presses
all done explosive with good form is a good place to start, add in some
exercises for your smaller muscle groups as they play a part in getting
your bigger compound exercises increasing...

Far as deadlifts go I use a shoulder width grip over hand/under hand with
a narrow stance and start the movement deep exploding the first 4"-6"
with my legs then it's all back from there until I lock out the movement...

Also if you want to be strong as a elephant you gotta eat like a elephant so
in other words if you want to be really strong you need to fuel your body so
eat alot of the right foods especially proteins...

What if you are already really fat. Do you need to eat more then ?

Is should clarify that.

I am 5'11 and 325 pounds. Not all fat but I am a pudgy bugger.

your gonna have to diet down. beeing 325 pounds, even at a 5% bodyfat, is not healthy. you should get your diet in track and lose all the weight you can, while maintaining stength.

Ok thanks all.

Having some fat is good for strength, it gives you more leverage and it's esp good if you are a superheavyweight.

Are you sure?

The strongest guys I've seen in competition are usually really huge and have some fat covering their muscles.
The guy who broke the records for teenagers in lifting (here in Iceland) was really heavy and had a good amount of fat.

But I don't know anything about powerlifting.. this is only what I believe.. those guys really don't look like cut-up bodybuilders (well maybe some do).

trying to gain strength when your already fat is a crucial game.

You mean fat like this StongMan

[Hit-That]

Pudzianowski is on large amounts of drugs, some of which help maintain a very low body fat while still greatly increasing strength.

This is one sure tell tail sign of drug use.

For a non drug user, you must eat more protein and carbs than your body need to optimally gain strength. This will more likely than not increase your BF%.

I wouldn't know firsthand about that, I've never been much over 15% bf

neither have i bro, but ive witnessed it.

You are going to want to lose some body fat no matter what man. Bodybuilder or powerlifter, beign that heavy is not good, you are going to put a ton of added stress to your bigger compound lifts.

also somthing to think about fat

fat is unneccesary weight. weight that you are fighting against. it could slow you down. power is speed. fat could slow you down

water is a different thing. water is considered "lean muscle mass" thats how adds get away with murder. water is the leverage you want

but you got me wondering about fat and leverage.

to the experienced bros.....will fat give you leverage strength. if you loose fat and 0 muscle, would you loose strength through leverage?

Bite the dust, your pic reminds me of lee priest at his wedding,lol.

Sorry, but seriously now, you might wanna try a CKD diet or something. I have found it possible to put on lean mass and strengh on this type of plan, and 'm sure you could probably lose weight on it.

[BiteTheDust]

Ok, thanks all..

Who the hell is Lee Priest?
