Let’s be hon­est. When was the last time your strength really went up? Has your strength aver­aged at least a 5% increase from week to week or even month to month?

If you are like most trainees, you got stuck at the same weights after the first few months of your first ever expo­sure to body­build­ing. If not – con­grat­u­la­tions, I applaud you and you are doing some­thing right. I’m also con­fi­dent in say­ing that you made the major­ity of your mus­cu­lar gains in the first few months that you began lift­ing prop­erly. Is it safe to say that your mus­cu­lar gains lev­eled off at about the same time your strength gains lev­eled off? Coin­ci­dence? Hardly!  Consistency

Your mus­cu­lar size is ALMOST (there are many other fac­tors we do not have time to dis­cuss here) a direct cor­re­la­tion to your mus­cle strength. Have you ever seen some­one who can bench press, squat or dead lift a few hun­dred pounds with a small physique. Very, very rarely!

Mus­cle size and strength are rel­a­tive to each other. The stronger your mus­cles become the big­ger they will be become and vice versa. Fol­low a pro­gram that pri­or­i­tizes improv­ing your strength con­sis­tently and trust that mass will follow!
