Not looking to get big, just need reps.

ah ok.

as far as diet, i increased my calorie intake from 2000 to 5000 and that was only from weight gaining supplements. shakes and stuff like that. along side of high protein meals. meats and beans. so i didnt even count those calories, so id assume it was far greater than 5000.
That is far too much for some at your size, you ay you don't want to gain a lot of size and with that amount you'll gain a lot of fat. I don't eat that much to grow
I did gain about 10 pounds, which was really cool, but looking at pictures, my face was PUFFY and I thought I looked a little silly. Looking puffy without the big arms or chest...hahha.

During this time, my max bench went from 125 to 150 in one year. I did many other exercises than just floor stuff. Worked on most of the major upper body muscles with basic free weights exercises.
Current Max?
I would let all that testosterone go to waste on just push ups. sorry i wasnt really clear.


So ideally, pure if i was pure muscle I should be 210ish? Well a reasonable solid offseason bf IMO is 10-12% So you will not be pure muscle at 210 just a lot more muscle.

Have you been down to the diet forum yet? And since you are primarily focusing in on strength over size the correct workout formula is vital in order to accomplish what you have set out to do so check the workout section and Pinnacles sticky on training techinques.

yes, ive lurked in the diet sections a little. current max probably 140ish. i know could hit it twice.

so do you think i need the "cutting formula" (See link http://forums.steroid.com/showthread.php?t=75729) instead of the "bulking formula"
