Strength specific steroids?

[inky-e]

Im around 6ft tall im only 19, i weigh 160, although i would prefer to weigh less if i could. I can build muscle fairly easily, but that has never been my goal. Just pure strength, a little size is nice to have aswell but not a neccesity. I dont compete per-say but i do perform strongman stunts and my workouts are goal oriented like my current goal is a legit one arm chin up, handstand pushups on the rings, full range extension with the ab wheel, Dragon flags, etc. Im decently big for never trying to gain size, with small wrists (6.75in) i have around 12 inch foararms, 14 inch upper arms. My legs are pretty big naturally, they would definately grow like crazy with training, which is cool for some people but like i said i just want to be stronger.

Ok,you're 6' at 160lbs.,and 14" bi's? You'd rather weigh less, a little size would be nice but not necessary,bro theres a few contradictions there.I don't know how you can use anything for strength and not build muscle,and you say you build muscle fairly easily. theres no magic solution. It is not my intention to shoot you down,I consider myself pretty openminded,its just that your statements are pretty ambiguious.

Your telling me you haven't ever heard of a small guy lifting insane weights? Texan farmer Bob peoples could deadlift over 700lb at a BW of 175.

My opinion was similar to yours for the longest time. But experience showed me that size doesnt nessecarily=strength so i knew there was a way to get strong and stay small, certain things didint add up. For example. My grandpa was a tank when he was my age, he could one arm military press a 90lb dumbell with ease, do one arm chin ups.....etc. the thing is taht he wasnt big at all, he weighed like 155 at the time, so i knew there had to be a way to get strong without bulking up ( i was into martial arts, i didint want to get big). I did some searching and finally found the book Power to the People by Pavel Tsatsouline, which showed me exactly how you can get super strength without bulk. Ill quote some of the book. This is a direct quote from the book, which in turn is quoting Mel C Siff, famous strength scientist ( wrote supertraining).

""It is important to note that most of the.... factors underlying strength production are functional rather than structural." point out top Russian strength expert Prof. Yuri Verkhoshansky and his South African counterpart Dr. Mel Siff. "Those determined by efficiency of the nervous system are of fundamental concern to the development of strength, since the muscular 'motors' are operated by synchronized electrical impulses supplied to the muscles by the nerves. Current preoccupation with the use of anabolic steroids to produce bulk thus may be seen to be misplaced unless bodybuilding bulk is the sole objective. The development of specialized training regimes to enhance nervous system conditioning would be scientifically and morally more advisable...""


"When it is said that a muscles strength is proportional to it's cross-section, that statement must be qualified: Everything else being equal. 'Everything else' is largely the level of activation of the muscles by the nervous system, or neurological efficiency. It is estimated that an average person can contract only 20-30% of his muscles when trying his hardest. Even a top lifter uses no more than 50% of his impressive muscles! Your muscles are already capable of lifting a car. They just do not know it yet. To appreciate your true strength potential, ponder the fact when a person is electrocuted -by lighting, or the Fed -His muscles tear, his tendons rip off their attatchments, even bones break... For the first -and last- time in death row inmate's or golfer's life his muscles were fully activated by electricity. Although we do not know yet how to completely overcome the strength deficit (which is good -you would rip yourself apart!),modern training methods can dramatically improve your muscle activation -and your strength with it. Power to the People will teach you how to install the top of the line 'muscle software' into your nervous system and improve your strength and muscle tone. Without putting on an ounce of weight if that is your wish." He later explains that if this is your first time training you will experience some growth whether you want to or not.
